Jazz Jennings Talks About Her 'Substantial' Weight Gain, Shares New Photo to Hold Herself Accountable

Jazz Jennings is opening up about the “substantial” amount of weight she has gained throughout the past two years.

The 20-year-old reality star and YouTuber says that she suffers from binge-eating disorder, which has caused her to gain almost 100 pounds.

“As many of you have noticed, over the past few years, I have gained a substantial amount of weight. I suffer from binge-eating disorder, a disease in which I’m not only addicted to food, but I eat it in large quantities. My binging, along with an increased appetite I experience from some of the meds I’m on, has caused me to gain almost 100 pounds in a little less than 2 years. I’m posting this photo because it’s time for me to address my weight gain and hold myself accountable,” Jazz wrote on Instagram.

Jazz continued, “I’m ready to change my ways; I’ve been saying I’m ready to turn over a new leaf, but I’m running out of trees now. I’m ready to take the initiative and create positive changes when it comes to my health and body. I have a fabulous team supporting me, both professionals and family/friends, but at the end of the day, I have to be the one committed toward bettering myself.”

“I know I have the power in me to lose the weight, and I intend on sharing my progress with all of you. Love you all, and thanks for understanding the battle I’m fighting to win❤️❤️❤️,” she concluded.

Jazz got into an AMAZING college a couple years ago.
