Rebel Wilson is everyone’s BFF
The hilarious blonde hottie has been a household name since we all fell in love with her in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids.
She then went on to star in the Pitch Perfect franchise, which was a personal favorite for many.
Rebel made headlines for her “Year of Health” initiative
In 2020, she told fans she was working on her health in an effort to live a longer, happier life and increase her chances of fertility.
This past summer, Rebel shared her wake-up call
In an emotional caption, she began: “Okay so I know that I normally post flattering photos of myself…but found this old photo in my emails and was like: whoa! I remember this was when I was at my most unhealthiest – being overweight and indulging way too much with junk food. Using food to numb my emotions.”
She talks about self-worth
“My father had passed away of a heart attack and it was such a sad time. I didn’t think highly of myself and wasn’t valuing myself how I should have,” she explained.
“It’s interesting that I’m still smiling and still trying to be active – this was taken at a charity tennis tournament event (ps @djokernole is such a nice guy) – despite being in so much pain.”
“I look back now at that girl and am so proud of what she’s become and achieved”
“And just wanted to send out some encouragement to everyone out there struggling with weight or body issues or emotional eating. I feel you. I know what it’s like. But it’s never too late to start improving yourself and trying to be the best version of YOU possible.”
“It’s about respecting yourself and doing what’s best for YOU”
“So if you’re out there and reading this today, I just wanted to say: keep smiling and keep trying to be active! Love you guys,” she concluded.
Now, Rebel has reached her goal weight and is thriving
In honor of the season three premiere of Apple Fitness+ Time to Walk on Apple Watch, Rebel took listeners with her on her usual hike in Los Angeles.
She opened up to the crowd
“My goal was to get healthier and lose the bodyweight I didn’t want. I knew deep down that I wasn’t the healthiest version of myself because of work commitments,” she admitted.
She explained she was going through “some fertility stuff. And the doctor said if I did get healthy, then that would be a lot better for me.”
She has Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
The condition “made it harder than an average person would have to lose weight”
Feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of weight loss, Rebel reassured her fans by sharing the simple solution that worked for her, as per Yahoo.
The doctor’s recommendation to her was as follows: “Rebel, the best way for you to lose unwanted body fat is by just simply walking, it doesn’t have to be high intensity or uphill…just simply walk an hour a day.”
Embracing the simplest things
“Sometimes the simplest thing like getting out and walking for an hour a day is the kindest thing to your body, and your body will respond to that.”
How cool is that? Way to go, Rebel.
