She may have had a tumultuous 12 months following her stint on the Aussie adaptation of The Bachelor, but Sam Frost proves she’s having the last laugh as she sat down with NW to dish on everything from her hot new bod, to dating, to life after The Bachelor.
The newly-brunette babe spoke candidly to NW, revealing her struggle with her weight during her time on the show which saw her gain 12kg over the course of three months.
“During the show we weren’t allowed scales in the house. When it was the final five, we went to this place in the Blue Mountains and I found scales – and I weighed over 63.5kg. I was like, ‘Holy shit!’ I couldn’t believe it. I was disappointed in myself. A year’s worth of work went out the window in three months,” she said.
She also spoke of her battle with her body image following hurtful comments from trolls online after the show aired.
“I never knew how intense and horrible it was. Imagine a 14-year-old girl looking at those comments, thinking, ‘If they think Sam’s fat, then I must be huge!’ Its disgusting.”
But following a healthy diet and exercise regime, the 26-year-old bachelorette has shed the excess kilos and looks fitter and foxier than ever – but admits she won’t deny herself the odd treat!
“When you’re trying to lose weight it’s hard not to indulge, but now I can have those indulgences and not feel bad,” she spills, adding, “Some people eat one chocolate and they’re like, ‘I’m going to hammer myself at the gym and hate myself.’ But I’m like, f**king relax! You had a chocolate – it’s not the end of the world!”
