Rebel Wilson stands in a swimsuit while talking about her 30lb “weight gain”

Rebel Wilson discussed her self-confidence in an extraordinarily candid social media post this week.

The Hollywood beauty got honest when she shared multiple swimwear photographs on Instagram, coupled with an emotive message about body confidence.

Rebel Wilson revealed that stress has caused her to gain 30 pounds, and that while she knows she shouldn’t feel horrible about it, she does.

She wrote: “Working really hard has meant that, due to all the stress, I’ve gained 14kg (30 pounds)!” It makes me feel horrible about myself, while it shouldn’t. I’m quite happy of the work I’ve been doing on new films and my book; nevertheless, it’s been a lot, and I’ve lost sight of my healthy lifestyle. Is anyone else going through this?

Fans were quick to offer their support and encouragement to the mother of one, with one adding, “So normal Rebel!” A doctor recently told me, ‘We vary up and down approximately 10kg or so our entire lives, it’s normal,’ and to be honest, hearing that was incredibly liberating x,” while another wrote, “You got this Rebel. You’ve smashed it once; you can do it again. Simply don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re a mother, working, and writing. It’s a lot. Do not forget to fill your own cup. If your cup is empty, you will struggle to fill other people’s glasses and do all of your tasks.”

A third wrote, “Losing weight is the easy bit…keeping it off is the biggest battle,” with a love heart emoji.

Rebel Wilson and her candor regarding her stress-related weight gain will resonate with many individuals, and her revelation will undoubtedly benefit others as well.

Lisa Lorraine Taylor, a certified personal trainer at Total Shape, has spoken out on why individuals acquire weight at difficult times in their life.

Lisa added, “Many people gain weight during stressful times.” It’s normal to lose appetite when stressed, but prolonged stress can lead to increased appetites for sweet and fatty meals. This occurs as our bodies create more cortisol, a hormone that stimulates hunger. Such desires might set off a cycle in which we seek solace in food, experience guilt, and then lose motivation to exercise, resulting in weight increase.”
