Jo-Anne Reyneke recently took to Instagram to reflect on her weight loss journey. She said it has been a long journey, she added that she feared people at times because she did not want them to see her.
"It's been a long journey yoh!!! The weight loss journey is an individual one, it takes a lot of love to love yourself through every size and shape. I developed a fear of crowds when I was at my heaviest, it took a while to realize that it was only because I didn't want people to see me...
"I had to come to a place where I realized that being happy is a Choice! Life will always be hard, rich or poor it will be hard...so choose you Hard! #everyonesstory."
Taking to the comments section, fans said they are inspired by Jo-Anne's story and thanked her for sharing.
Jeanettraletooane responded: "Thank you so much for sharing. I don't blame you and I can understand that why you feared crowds because there is often so much judgment that comes from the spectators and can affect one. But with self-love anything is possible."
