“My mornings now compared to [five] years ago is really eye opening,” she wrote in the caption. “Family is everything to me and always will be. Where I was years ago compared to now, I look back on everything and think ‘holy sh-t, I made it.’”

The raven-haired beauty has taken many steps to give her life a fresh start. From building a home with her new beau to working on her health and fitness regiment, Jenelle has made a 180 from where she was on the early days of the show.

“I hope everyone can watch the series and see my journey and learn from it,” she encouraged. “Thanks for continuing to watch my life, hope I entertained you the past [seven or eight] years.”

Though Jenelle certainly won’t be reliving her past, she is writing a tell-all memoir documenting the struggles she’s faced in her life.
