In the post, Jazz, 23, put together a series of photos from back when she was a teenager, and reflected on how she’d changed.
One of the pics showed the reality television personality looking completely different and much skinnier as she posed in an eye-catching outfit in sunny weather.
The I Am Jazz star wore a full face of makeup, pouting at the camera in dark purple lipstick.
Adding even more drama to her look, Jazz had purple highlights in her butt-length, wavy hair, along with a selection of chunky jewelry.

In contrast to her more floral current dress sense, the YouTube star wore a plunging black corset, layered with a white fluffy jacket.
She paired the revealing top with baggy white pants, finishing off her look with thick black platform boots.
The Harvard student captioned her Throwback Thursday post, “Jazz in 2018/2019 was a whole different person. I am not the girl I once was.
“Sometimes I miss the naivety of my former self. I missed the pure laughters and unconditional love. I miss her in so many ways, but I also love the transformed me in ways deeper than ever before. I LOVE being me! And I wish for a world where everyone loved being them too!”

The author concluded, “We are all so beautiful. So resilient. So special. Imagine a planet where we all celebrate that. Back to the flashback photos. Remember to be easy on yourself as you grow and change. Love yourself unconditionally always, for you are worthy of that love.”
JAZZ’S MISSION
Jazz’s post about “missing” her old self comes amid her journey to slim down.
In November 2021, Jazz opened up about her weight gain, revealing that she’d gained almost 100 pounds.
She included an honest note to her fans, writing, “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.”
She confessed in the season seven trailer of her show, I am Jazz, that she was on a mission to lose the weight, but confessed that she was struggling.
Since then, Jazz has documented her hard work on the show and on social media, as well as showing off her results.
‘PROUD’
Jazz’s post came after she shared a celebratory message about her weight loss just last week.
On Instagram, she posted a photo of herself on the beach in a strapless top and tiny skirt.
Alongside her pouty beach snap, she excitedly wrote, “70 pounds down! Feeling happier and healthier than I’ve been in years.
“I still have a ways to go, but I’m so proud to finally be taking the necessary steps toward bettering my mind, body, and spirit.”
Days later, Jazz shared a pic as she showed off her workout clothes before heading to the gym to continue her progress, writing, “Ready to workout! Starting off my day right.”
