JINGER Duggar sparked concern as fans think she appeared “very thin” in a new photo and begged her to “get help.”
The reality star previously admitted to extreme dieting and talked about her struggles with an eating disorder.
Fears grew for the 28-year-old after Jinger shared a photo of herself looking slimmer than normal.
In the snap, the star donned a loosely-fitted orange dress with flower patterns and a brown collar design.
She paired the spring outfit with white clog heels and tied her hair back into a high ponytail.
She appeared fresh faced as she sat on a bench and smiled at the camera.

The pic was originally captured by a friend before the TLC star shared the photo on her Instagram Stories.
Reddit users, voiced their worries over Jinger’s seemingly smaller frame after recently learning about her past weight struggles.
One person commented: “She looks so frail and pale compared to some pictures from this time last year.
“I know having two young children and a childish husband will drain you, but I hope this poor girl is getting a break somewhere.”
Another user agreed, adding: “She looks scary thin too. I am officially concerned her eating disorder is back.”
A third remarked: “Oh my god. I hope she’s ok. I can’t even snark on this, she looks like she’s wasting away.”
While a fourth fan expressed their concerns for the mom-of-two’s health, writing: “I’m worried about this girl. I’m not going to comment on her appearance. But I’m hoping she is well.”
Another sympathized with Jinger given the difficult times she’s faced with her brother Josh’s upcoming prison sentencing.
The 34-year-old was found guilty of possessing and receiving child pornography on December 9 and is awaiting sentencing, which was delayed until May 25.
They wrote: “She’s been through trauma with Josh’s trial and conviction. She learned some truths about her parents that must have been extremely difficult to acknowledge.
“I would be surprised if she was not exhibiting physical changes as a result. Hopefully she has some therapeutic help to heal.
“It must be so difficult to find out that the people you thought had your best interests at heart actually betrayed you.”
EXTREME DIETING
Jinger’s weight has been an ongoing struggle for the 19 Kids and Counting alum who previously confessed to her extreme dieting measures.
In the fall, the TLC star told Us Weekly about her body issues and said: “For me, the wrestling was with my weight and my body image, even though I was very in shape and I didn’t need to lose weight.
“I felt like I needed to; as a 14-year-old girl, I was really wrestling with that.
“I think in this culture around us, there is so much talk about what true beauty is and what we’re defined by — if it’s by how we look, how we were raised or how popular we are, whatever those things may be.”
The Arkansas native also told the outlet that not only does her husband Jeremy Vuolo know of her struggles, but so does her mom, Michelle Duggar.
She explained at the time: “I talked to Jeremy. He knows about that, of course, from day one and my mom, but I think just those [issues] that I had, I wanted others to be able to see that they’re not alone and that there are answers for that.
“And you don’t have to feel like you have to measure up to a certain standard of beauty or personality or whatever it may be, but [it’s about] just accepting who you were made to be.”
FANS’ CONCERN
In November, fans made a point to beg the star to get healthy as they claimed she is looking “underweight” in photos shared at that time.
Her podcast-host hubby took to Instagram to post new snaps of his wife, as he broke it down into three separate posts.
All three pics show Jinger posing and smiling while enjoying a cup of coffee, as the former TV star sports a green tank top, which exposes her shoulders, and ripped jeans.
Jeremy simply captioned each post with one word creating the full sentence, “Oh, hey there.”
While Jinger was nothing but smiles, many fans were quick to comment and show their concern over the TV personality.
‘HOPE SHE’S DOING OKAY’
Back in March, fans had a change of tune as they claimed Jinger looked much healthier in photos.
One person commented on the young mom’s smiling post: “Jinger ditching her Stepford wife phase has made her look 10 years younger.”
Others agreed that Jinger looked great, with one writing: “Look, a Duggar that looks their actual age. It’s a miracle!”
Another fan added: “I think she looks content and peaceful honestly.”

Another credited the Counting On alum’s more youthful appearance to her brother’s trial coming to an end.
They wrote: “She looks better here than she has for a while. I hope she’s doing okay after everything at the trial that came out.”
