Rebel Wilson says she may never have a “bikini body,” focuses on health instead
LOS ANGELES — Actor Rebel Wilson says she does not expect to ever have what is often described as a “bikini body,” sharing a message of body acceptance and gratitude in a recent social media post.
The 46-year-old actor took to Instagram Stories to reflect on her relationship with her body, emphasizing appreciation over appearance.
“I don’t think I’ll ever have a bikini body — that’s just not me. But my body has carried me through this life and I am so grateful for it,” Wilson wrote.
Wilson, who lost around 60 pounds during her self-described “year of health” in 2020, said she continues to focus on lifestyle changes while also occasionally relying on weight-loss medication.
“I’m trying to get my daily steps, do a Pilates class once or twice a week, some strength training when I can, eat as healthy as I can. But let’s face it I love sweets so I need those GLP’s from time to time to give a little help,” she wrote.
She has previously said her focus has shifted away from numbers on a scale to overall well-being.
“You never want it to be about the number, because it really isn’t about that. It’s about: I was doing some unhealthy things to my body and I just wanted to change it and become a healthier person,” she told People in an earlier interview.
Wilson also stressed the importance of building sustainable habits for both physical and mental health.
“Ok, so you delete some things from your life that are unhealthy and pick up some healthy habits,” she said in a message to her followers.
“So not just focusing on but trying multiple healthy habits, which will be a struggle. I might have to write myself a little checklist on a post it note and make sure I’m trying to do each thing each day.
“But I tell you what, if you can get into a really good groove with all these healthy habits, it can be really great for your physical and mental health and that’s really important.” (Source: IANS)
