Rebel Wilson Weight Gain: Actress Reveals Packing 30lbs After Losing 77lbs In 2020

Rebel Wilson has candidly shared her journey with weight fluctuations, revealing she regained nearly half of the 77 pounds she shed in 2020.

On Monday, the "Pitch Perfect" star took to Instagram to post a video of herself in a black swimsuit in a hot tub on a boat.

In the caption, she expressed mixed feelings about gaining "30 pounds."

"It makes me feel bad about myself...it shouldn't...but it does," Wilson wrote.

Wilson attributed the weight gain to the stress associated with her busy schedule, which includes new movie projects and the upcoming release of her memoir, "Rebel Rising," scheduled for April 2.

"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," she explained before asking her followers if any of them have the same experience.

Receiving an outpouring of support from her fans and followers, Wilson's post sparked conversations about body image, self-acceptance, and the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in the entertainment industry.

Followers shared words of encouragement, with many saying they could relate to her struggle.

"I feel the same," one Instagram user commented. "You are amazing, [you're] doing incredible work, try not to be too hard on yourself."

"Your body is allowed to be comfortable. Keep up with your healthy choices and fitness, but allow for the joy and little things that make you happy. At the end of the day, your weight and body don't define you. We'll love you whatever you weigh," another sweet comment read.

"Rebs don't be so hard on yourself. I know how this feels all too well (we're never skinny enough in the entertainment world, are we?)," influencer Lizandre Malan commented. "I know [you] don't see it that way, but I say f it. You're lookin' damn good the way [you are] now. You worked hard to get to this point, get out the bikini and just go for it."

"I am there with you! In life, I feel like there are seasons, seasons of hard work, seasons where focusing on health is more accessible!" Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal wrote.

Wilson apparently read the supportive messages as she later added a note to her post, stating, "I woke up this morning and read all your comments - they bring a tear to my eye. Thanks everyone!"

The actress, who has been open about her weight-loss journey, previously dropped 77 pounds in 2020 through diet and exercise, Today reported.

In a July 2022 Instagram post, Wilson emphasized that body weight doesn't define an individual and encouraged others to prioritize health and self-care.

The actress has been juggling various projects, including writing her book, "Rebel Rising," filming an action movie, and directing a film in Australia.

Additionally, she has been involved in developing a "label-free" dating app, Fluid, and balancing life as a mom after welcoming a baby girl with fiancée Ramona Agruma in November 2022.
