“If I could choose, I would have my a** back and I would have the s*** I had a few years ago. But, honestly, we can’t look back with regret. I loved my body then, and I love my body now," the Cali girl said.
Gigi also disclosed that the reason for her weight loss is due to an autoimmune illness called Hashimoto’s disease. "After discovering that I have Hashimoto’s, I needed to eat healthy and work out. It was weird as a teenager, dealing with this when all of my friends could eat McDonald’s and it wouldn’t affect them."
