Jenna Jameson started her keto diet journey last April, and in that time, she's not only lost 80 pounds, but she's also become a huge proponent of body positivity.
In an Instagram post shared Monday (for her typical #mondaymotivation post), Jenna shared a before-and-after photo that seemed more difficult for her to post than usual. "Here goes nothing," she wrote, captioning two photos of herself in a black bikini-one before and after keto . "UUUGH. I did not want to post this before picture."
Clearly, though, Jenna ended up sharing the photos: "Once I mulled it over in my mind, I realized how important normalizing women's true bodies is."
View this post on Instagram Here goes nothing. #motivationmonday UUUGH. I didnt want to post this before picture. But once I mulled it over in my mind, I realized how important normalizing womens true bodies is. This is normal. This is beautiful. My transition to health has helped me realize a lot of my connection to skinniness was unhealthy. Its very possible to be thin and frightening unhealthy. So thickness does not equate to being sick, but mine was. I was pre diabetic, and a literal sloth. I remember back when I weighed 80 lbs and was starving myself... I thought that was pretty at the time but had no clue. Im now a healthy size 4 and can keep up with my kids. Hallelujah! So remember these #beforeandafter pictures arent just to show the esthetics of being slim, they show hard work and attention to my inside health. This is a years worth of recalibration and focus. So in closing, remember how important your precious health is... dont stress on what is staring back at you in that mirror. #ketotransformation #ketodiet #beforeandafterweightloss #cellulite #keto #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #intermittentfasting A post shared by Jenna Jameson (@jennacantlose) on Apr 15, 2019 at 1:00pm PDT
Jenna then went on to explain her ups and downs related to weight loss : "My transition to health has helped me realize a lot of my connection to 'skinniness' was unhealthy," she wrote. "It's very possible to be thin and frightening[ly] unhealthy.
Jenna also shared just how unhealthy she was while she was overweight: "Thickness does not equate to being sick, but mine was," she said. "I was prediabetic, and a literal sloth." But Jenna also looked back on times when she was much thinner-but equally unhealthy. "I remember back when I weighed 80 lbs and was starving myself," she wrote. "I thought that was pretty at the time but had no clue."
Now, Jenna says, she's finally feeling healthy. "I'm now a healthy size 4 and can keep up with my kids," she wrote, adding that her before-and-after photos aren't just to show the "aesthetics" of being slim, but to acknowledge her hard work on her "inside health." "This is a year's worth recalibration and focus," she wrote, referencing her year-long keto journey.
Overall, Jenna said not to "stress on what is staring back at you in that mirror." And all I can say is, amen to that, sister.
