1. Skinny Doesn’t Equal Happy

Jenelle’s weight has fluctuated over the years and she is one of the many stars who have been trolled for her changing body. However, she now realizes that being skinny doesn’t equate to happiness. “Back in 2015 I started gaining weight and also I was being cheated on," she revealed in a TikTok, including some throwback photos. "And this is when I was feeling totally insecure and feeling like I needed to something about my body or I wouldn't be loved." She then shared photos of herself exercising. "So I started going to the gym. Like damn, I looked good... but was I happy? No. Was I trying to impress people? Yeah.” She then posted photos of herself looking skinny in a swimsuit. "Acting like I was living my best life, but I wasn't happy. Trying to be conceited once again but you know what? When you start living for yourself, this is when you'll be happy." She then shared photos of herself with more swerve to her curves. "Happy wife, happy life. Strut your stuff. Happier is better, and no, I'm not pregnant - just happy," she concluded.

3. Focus On Your Mental Health

“Feeling great lately,” Jenelle added in the same post. “Focusing more on my mental health and body has been more than amazing and very rewarding in my opinion.”

4. Take a Hike
