She previously opened up about her struggle with body image.
But Leisel Jones, 32, was not afraid to share an unglamorous selfie to Instagram recently.
The Olympic gold medallist shared photos of her very dramatic before and after transformation in a candid post, which showed her looking remarkably different.
From drab to fab! Leisel Jones, 32, was not afraid to share an unglamorous selfie to Instagram recently
‘Before and after and it’s not even transformation Tuesday!’ she began.
‘On the left was 10pm last night with a blocked tear duct, swelling and black under my eye.
She added: ‘To fresh faced and fancy free thanks to the gorgeous make-up team @sevenstyling. Heading into news feed @sunriseon7 feeling much better!!’
Finding love: Leisel’s candid post comes after she opened up about finding love with her businessman fiance Damon Martin and why she would never have applied for a show like The Bachelorette before finding happiness
The Northern Territory-native appeared under the weather in her ‘before’ shot, displaying dark circles, blotchy skin and irritated eyes.
However hours later, she looked like a new person in a beaming ‘after’ shot – while showcasing her flawlessly applied makeup and neatly styled locks.
Fans applauded her confidence and the stunning results in the comments section.
No thanks! ‘I never thought I needed to be on The Bachelorette or anything. That’s my idea of hell, all those dates. That would be too hard,’ she told The Daily Telegraph
‘Off to do my transformation now!!’ one seemingly inspired fan wrote.
Another wrote: You are a beautiful human being inside out.’
Last year, Leisel opened up about her struggle with body image, saying she lacked confidence whenever she would compare herself to Instagram models.
‘There’s no way I’d ever look like those fitspo people because I’m just not built that way,’ she told Triple J.
‘As an athlete you don’t need to look a certain way to be the best performer,’ she said.
Happy: ‘I never put any pressure on finding The One… I always knew it would come in it’s own time so I never stressed’ she said
Officially taken! Taking to Instagram to share the happy news earlier in the week, Leisel captioned ‘WE’RE ENGAGED,’ along with a ring emoji
‘This fitspo stuff is so hard. You’re trying to perform and look like something that physically you’re not even capable of looking like no matter how hard you tried.’
Leisel’s candid post comes after she opened up about finding love with her businessman fiance Damon Martin and why she would never have applied for a show like The Bachelorette before finding happiness.
‘I never thought I needed to be on The Bachelorette or anything,’ she previously told The Daily Telegraph.
Congrats! ‘Damo popped the question while we were in The States. I can’t wait to annoy the hell out of you for the rest of our eternal lives’ she wrote
She added: ‘That’s my idea of hell, all those dates. That would be too hard’.
The newly engaged athlete says she didn’t feel pressure to find love as she knew that one day her prince would come, all in good time.
‘I never put any pressure on finding The One… I always knew it would come in it’s own time so I never stressed’.

‘It’s hard to meet people in Sydney and it’s hard to find friends and be casual and relaxed. We’re pretty lucky,’ she said.
‘He’s super fun, very smart,’ she said. ‘He’s super duper smart which is really important to me. He’s got a great brain.’
