Rebel Wilson thanks fans for support as she makes admission about weight gain

Rebel Wilson was supported by her fans after she opened up about gaining 30 pounds over the past few months due to stress.

The Pitch Perfect actress, 43, uses her social media to share updates about her health and lifestyle. During the pandemic, she talked about her 'year of health' and wowed fans when she showed off the results of her lifestyle overhaul, which saw her sharing her workouts and healthy meals.

Earlier this week, the Australian star posted a boomerang of herself in a jacuzzi as she told fans: "Working really hard has meant that, coz of all the stress, I’ve gained 14kg’s (30 pounds)! It makes me feel bad about myself…it shouldn’t…but it does. I’m really proud of the work I’ve been doing on new movies and my memoir, it’s just been a LOT and I’ve lost focus on my healthy lifestyle.

"Anyone else going through the same thing? (Update: I woke up this morning and read all your comments - they bring a tear to my eye. Thanks, everyone!"

Fans immediately rushed to the comment section to share positive messages. After reading some of the comments, she took to her Instagram Stories to post a screenshot of one of the lovely messages she received from a fan. The message read: "Your body is the least interesting thing about you! Don't be so hard on yourself. From a fellow fatty."

Rebel responded to it with: "Love messages like this, thank you." Other followers also shared words of wisdom, with one user saying: "Losing weight is the easy bit… keeping it off is the biggest battle." Another posted: "You are great and you look even better. Don’t let the doubt in. See you soon Wonder Woman."

A few years ago, Rebel underwent a massive health kick in her life that saw her shed a whopping 5.5 stone. After shedding the weight, Rebel gushed over how the transformation left her feeling "so much healthier". Speaking on the Life Uncut podcast in January 2022, Rebel said she been a "normal size" when she was younger, but in her twenties gained weight after she was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

She then went on to add that most comedians "often have something physical about them that's abnormal" – which is why they take up comedy. "Those people tend to go better in comedy," she said, "so I turned what was turned into a lot of agents as a disadvantage into my advantage."
