The world has been introduced to her as that sassy petite beauty who turns heads and leaves ladies jealous but she comes out to reveal her imperfection.
Her post
Taking to her Instagram, the beauty emotionally expresses that this is hard for her to let out already being vulnerable and susceptible to the masses.
However, she goes on and reveals how she gained close to 40 kgs between September 2018 and March 2019.

July 2018 hit her hard with a big life event that saw her lose control.
The model shockingly shares how she knew no sleep for those 6 continuous months and her stress levels saw her weight shoot up resulting in massive weight gain.
Ms Rachel made an effort to hold it on together but soon after her Mexico trip in September last year, the weight actually multiplied.

This saw her get withdrawn from the public eye very early 2019, shutting herself indoors and barely leaving.
Further on, the former Miss Universe Kenya had to quit social media, scared the world would drag her down.

It got too bad for her, unable to engage in massive activity.
However, the time had come for her to turn the tables and bounce back to the Rachel Mbuki we all know.
So mid March 2019, she scheduled into a health and fitness getaway on her own, just to take in the deep breath, rediscover her inner being and resolve to never return to these dark days.

Well, Phetchabun, Thailand was her soul searching place for the last 2 months.
Fasting, yoga, meditation, hiking and Muay Thai kickboxing were the order of the day.

Her days are done as she reveals she is actually on a flight back to LA [at the time she was penning this down].
However, this does not mean her weight loss journey is over as she articulates that well, 20kgs are down but she still has 20kgs more to go.

Conclusively, the beauty Pageant vocalizes that none is Perfect because at a time when to many, she was ´goals´ she was actually secretly battling stress issues.
For her, this has been a humbling journey and she feels blessed and grateful to have experienced it all.
Her last words are:
Sometimes we gotta fall really hard so we can get up and be our best selves.
