‘MY WEIGHT DOESN’T DEFINE ME’
Lizzie Sobinoff may look very different now to her first stint as a TV bride last year, but she’s adamant that who she is inside hasn’t changed.
“It’s still very much me. I know people are going to say, ‘Well, you look completely different to how we saw you last year, [but] don’t always focus on the outer shell,” she tells
WHO of her 10kg weight loss. “This has always been me. We grow, as people. I don’t glorify weight and being like, ‘’I’m better now.’”
As one of 2019’s most controversial brides, Lizzie was cheated out of her shot at a happy ending thanks to her ‘husband’ Sam Ball, who cruelly criticised her weight at their wedding and had an affair with another bride in the early days of the experiment.
Since then, Lizzie has been focusing on herself and her health, occasionally following the 5:2 diet and aiming to work out a few times a week as it’s “good for stress”.
But the outspoken 28-year-old insists she’s no damsel in distress and is simply hoping that this time on MAFS, her relationship will go the distance.
“I have faith in the experiment,” she says. “I’m always the optimist.”
