However, the reality star revealed the picture is in fact old and that she’s currently “the heaviest I’ve ever been.”
“Post filming me [sic] PTSD came back full force, my thyroid tanked out & I had to be put on some yucky meds so I’m the heaviest I have ever been,” she continued.
“Good news is once my wrist is better & I can start training again then I’ll be back on track. Weight is just a number though. People may treat you differently, but you are the same human inside,” she concluded.
In the comments section, she went on to explain her health issues.
“I have hypothyroidism, so if I’m not training 6 days a week & 100% on point with my diet & can literally gain 8kgs in a weekend. It’s basically a crap superpower,” she explained.
It is due to an attack in Melbourne – where her nose was broken and her life was threatened – that left Clare suffering from PTSD.
