“I’m posting this picture because it’s time for me to address my weight gain and hold myself accountable.”
Jazz Jennings has revealed that she suffers from a “binge eating disorder” which has caused her to gain “significantly” weight recently.
The reality star said on Instagram Friday that she wants to share the news — and her side-by-side photos — to hold herself accountable for her new health journey.
“As many of you have noticed, over the past few years, I’ve gained quite a bit of weight,” she began. “I suffer from binge eating disorder, a disease in which I am not only addicted to food, but I eat it in large quantities.”

The 20-year-old LGBTQ+ activist said her “binge” – along with the side effects of her medications – had caused her to gain nearly 100 pounds in the past two years.
And she continued, “I am posting this picture because it is time for me to address my weight gain and to hold myself accountable.” “I am ready to change my ways; I used to say I am ready to turn a new leaf, but the trees are running out now.”
“I am ready to take the lead and make positive changes when it comes to my health and my body.”

While she acknowledged she had an “amazing team” of professionals, family and friends to back her up, Jazz said it was up to her to take the lead.
“At the end of the day, I have to be the one committed to improving myself,” she wrote. “I know I have the strength within me to lose weight, and I intend to share my progress with all of you. Love you all, and thank you for understanding the battle I am fighting to win.”
Jazz also shared before-and-after photos of her on Instagram Stories, captioning the shots, “Beautiful every shape and size ❤️❤️❤️.”
