Samantha Armytage shares relatable problem while in self-isolation

Sunrise host Samantha Armytage has shown that she’s just like us after she showed off the reality of self-isolation in a candid Instagram post.

The WW (formerly Weight Watchers) ambassador took to her social media page to check in with her followers and offer them words of reassurance during these trying times.

And in the clip, the 43-year-old candidly made a relatable admission about turning to carbs during this stressful period, and it struck a cord with everyone watching.

“Just wanted to see if you’re OK, I know the program is probably going a little bit out the window at the moment and it’s getting harder and harder,” she said, acknowledging how difficult it can be to be around your kids and partner 24/7.

“It’s a really good time just to nurture yourself, take care of yourself, be kind to yourself if you fall off the wagon because carbs are so good right now.”

She also gave her 227,000 followers a self-isolation tip, advising people to stay away from alcohol.

“You’re probably tempted to have a drink, but if I can offer one little bit of advice at the moment, maybe just leave the alcohol because I just think it’s just a waste of points,” she said, referring to the program’s nutritional measurement system.

Sam, who lost 10kg last year on the plan, said: “Be kind, try and stay out of the fridge as much as you can – I know that’s impossible.”
