Rebel recently returned to New York 

But her smile disguised what she was really feeling as she explained all in a lengthy caption: "Okay so I know that I normally post flattering photos of myself," she wrote.

Rebel continued: "It's interesting that I'm still smiling and still trying to be active - this was taken at a charity tennis tournament event (ps @djokernole is such a nice guy) - despite being in so much pain.

Rebel shared a throwback along with an inspiring message

"I look back now at that girl and am so proud of what she's become and achieved. And just wanted to send out some encouragement to everyone out there struggling with weight or body issues or emotional eating. I feel you. I know what it’s like.

But it's never too late to start improving yourself and trying to be the best version of YOU possible."

Her fans flooded her with kind words and called her, "an inspiration," and applauded her honesty.
