Back in June 2021, she opened up about suffering from a binge-eating disorder.

"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," she wrote on Instagram at the time, sharing a side-by-side of herself. "I'm posting this photo because it's time for me to address my weight gain and hold myself accountable."

The TLC star explained she was not only ready to prioritize her well-being but also make the necessary lifestyle changes to achieve her goals.

"I'm ready to take the initiative and create positive changes when it comes to my health and body," she continued. "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."
