It's also included taking a long look at how she was treating herself and thinking about her body.

Ren says that she had to move on from bad thinking and situations. We wonder if she means her relationship with Alvarrez?
Fans tweeted their encouragement, and asked her to share more of her story.
She's apparently working on finding the right platform.
It's heartening to hear someone be so vulnerable in public. Ren's Instagram image is one of clean living, happiness, health, and an endless stream of perfectly posed beach vacations. That she's dealing with issues around food and health allows others to step forward as well. A conversation is critical. We're all going through the same things; it helps when people share.
