After reaching her goal weight in 2020, Rebel Wilson is revealing how and why she decided to get serious about her health.
Its been, like, a little bit over a year from when I first started and I want you to, first of all, know that Im not frickin perfect about it, the 40-year-old actress began on Tuesday, December 1, via Instagram Live. Its not like Ive had some incredible discipline and Im just, like, every day restricted or worked out like a beast. I mean theres been days where Ive done that, but it certainly hasnt been all the time. What Im more focused on is balance.
During her lengthy Live, Wilson detailed her triangle of health, which included tracking her physical, nutritional and emotional health.
Nutrition was, like, a big deal because you cant out-train a bad diet, which is something that I shouldve known, but really didnt know this year, the Isnt It Romantic star explained. What Ive had to do is really look at what Im eating. Im someone who grew up eating fast food several times a week. Pizza Hut, McDonalds, which is so tasty, its nothing against those companies. Oh, my God, In-n-Out Burger in L.A., love it. But the problem is, I was eating it way too often and I have a real sweet tooth as I was just saying and basically, I only used to eat, like, carbs and sugar.
Earlier this year, Wilson announced her ideal weight was 165 pounds. After she stepped on the scale on Saturday, November 29, she revealed she accomplished her goal and dropped more than 60 pounds.
The goal was never to be skinny, it was never to fit into a certain dress size. I put a goal weight on there because I needed some tangible thing, she explained on Tuesday. But Ive also done some body measurements and stuff like that as well, so the weights not the only thing. But I am really glad that I did it because I think it was time. Ive been overweight for about 20 years and I love playing some of the comedic characters like Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect and everything. I love all that stuff but at a certain point, I knew in my heart that I was engaging in some unhealthy behaviors and that I needed to change those for the better and so what Im proud of myself for is for doing that and having a lot more balance now in my life.
While Wilson admitted that there were people in her life who didnt want [her] to change, boyfriend Jacob Busch wasnt one of them.
At the end of the day, its about balance and being a better version of me. This year, in a global pandemic, one of the most important things is health, she noted. Because if youre healthy and you have a strong immune system, youre less likely to be susceptible to the virus or serious complications and your health is so important.
