She added, "'I look at my body in the mirror & sometimes I'm not happy with that image.' My confidence constantly wavers & some days I love my new larger figure & other days I beat myself up about it. Even though I appear so strong, I'm still human and learning to love myself undeniably."

The weight gain comes amid Jennings getting busted swapping cash for an herb-like substance. RadarOnline.com obtained exclusive photos of Jennings, 17, riding her bike to Poinciana Park in Coral Springs, Florida on December 6. A man, whose identity has been protected pending comment, parked his car in the lot.

"She parked her bike next to his car," an onlooker exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "He was leaning on the front of his car and she walked over to where he was. As she reached into her purse, you could see his open palm containing a substance of some sort."

As she gave the man a handshake he "dropped the bag into her purse while taking the money out of her hand." "She immediately walked around the car and went back to her bike," the source said once the 10-second exchange was complete. "She seemed more concerned about getting it done than seeing if other people were looking."
