Actress Rebel Wilson’s weight loss transformation may have received plaudits from a variety of people, but not everybody was impressed when she managed to lose more than 70 pounds.
Rebel Wilson Admits She ‘Got A Lot Of Pushback’ From Her Management Team In Response To Her Weight Loss
The actress is now unrecognisable from the person, who decided to go on this weight-loss journey in 2020.
While her fans have supported her and been inspired by how she has managed to turn her life around, it looks as though people within her circle were not best pleased.
This included none other than Rebel’s own management team. Given the actress was synonymous with looking a certain way, as shown by her movie appearances, this drastic change was a shock.
During an interview with ‘BBC Breakfast’, she said: “I got a lot of pushback from my own team, actually, here in Hollywood, when I said, ‘OK, I’m going to do this ‘Year of Health.’
“I feel like I’m really going to physically transform and change my life.'” Naturally, people began to ask why did Rebel want to change her appearance?
Trying to have a healthier lifestyle was simply not enough by way of an explanation, as people within the acting industry could not understand why people would do this if she was making a lot of money anyway.
After all, it all seemed to be part of her ever-growing brand. However, she knew deep down that she did not feel comfortable with how she viewed herself.
As such, she put behind any doubts about what could happen and pressed ahead with her healthy lifestyle. She added: “I knew deep down inside that some of the emotional eating behaviours I was doing [were] not healthy.
“I did not need a tub of ice cream every night. That was me numbing emotions using food, which wasn’t the healthiest thing.”
Thankfully for Rebel, she did not live to regret the decision. She would not have it any other way, and now that she knows what it is like to feel good about herself, the actress has never thought about going back to the days that made her feel uneasy.
