Johnson shared before-and-after pics of her body transformation on Instagram, revealing how far she has come, both mentally and physically.
The dancer wrote, “Pictured are two girls. And I LOVE both of them. The difference is, the girl on the left didn't trust herself. Tried to cover herself up with a mask of makeup and that terrible flower crown. Feared what people thought about her. Didn't know who she was. Tried to be what other people wanted. Was afraid to look up! And ultimately it reflected on her outward appearance.”
Jenna added, “The girl on the right decided to embrace herself. Accepted her insecurities. Loved her acne! Doesn't wear makeup 90% of the time. Opened up. Took charge of her life and her identity. Blocked out the bullies and the critics who don't know her. Tries everyday to love herself and know her worth!!”

She insisted it wasn't just a body positivity post, but encouraged brain positivity, too. The star explained, “It's crazy how much effort and care we put into our physical bodies to keep them healthy and working... but why don't we put that same effort into our brain?! And our mental health?!”
The 25-year-old ended the post on a high note, writing, “Anyways, I'm grateful for both women pictured,” she said. “Grateful for all that I've gone through. And I'M PROUD OF HOW FAR I'VE COME! And how HARD I've worked on both my physical and mental health!”
