REBEL WILSON REVEALS WHAT INITIATED HER WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
By KATHRYN COOK
Funnywoman Rebel Wilson is known for "Pitch Perfect" and "Bridesmaids," and now she's over the moon about her film "Senior Year" doing so well on Netflix. Always a vocal kind of gal, Wilson is also getting candid about her weight loss journey, including why she decided to make some significant lifestyle changes.
In an interview with People, Wilson said that she met with a fertility specialist in 2019 to freeze and harvest her eggs, and the doctor told Wilson that she may have better luck if she lost a few pounds. Wilson was taken aback by the doctor's (admittedly rude) demeanor, but also said that "He was right."
Wilson also has polycystic ovarian syndrome, a condition that can impact fertility, so her desire to be a mom became even more important. She decided to lose weight and dropped 80 pounds once she set her mind to it, telling People, "It wasn't a goal to get to a certain weight. It was just being the healthiest version of myself."
The star still believes in body positivity and balances discipline and freedom in her weight loss approach; she still eats her favorite foods now and again. "I feel sad if somebody doesn't love the body they're in," Wilson said. "You want to celebrate all body types, but I also want to encourage people to be healthy."
