While posting a picture of herself in a black bathing suit in a hot tub, she wrote: "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." She continued: "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?"

Rebel had lost over 80lbs since 2020. After losing the weight, Rebel talked about how the transformation left her feeling "so much healthier." She spoke on the Life Uncut podcast in January 2022 and said she was a "normal size" when she was younger but around her twenties is when she started gaining weight after being diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). She also said that most comedians "often have something physical about them that's abnormal."

The diet consisted of eating fish and chicken breasts. She admitted that there was still room for cheating on the diet but she was aiming for an overall "healthy balance."
The actress also told PEOPLE that the weight loss originally came after she visited a fertility doctor in 2019, who told her to lose weight.
"He looked me up and down and said, ‘'You’d do much better if you were healthier. I was taken aback. I thought, 'Oh God, this guy's so rude.' He was right. I was carrying around a lot of excess weight." She continued: "It's almost like I didn't think of my own needs. I thought of a future child's needs that really inspired me to get healthier."
