when i said okay i'm going to do this year of hell and they were like why why would you want to do that rebel wilson may have declared 2020 the year of health this year i'm concentrating on health it's a journey but no i feel good but turns out not everyone was supportive of her journey the 41 year old australian actress spoke to bbc breakfast about her 70 pound plus weight loss and how her team initially reacted to her decision to focus on her health i got a lot of pushback from my own team actually
here in hollywood when i said okay i'm going to do this year of health i'm going to i i feel like i'm really going to physically transform and change my life and they were like why why would you want to do that because i was earning millions of dollars being you know the funny fat girl using my body for comedy always willing the pitch perfect star noted that while she felt confident prior to her weight loss she knew that some of her eating patterns weren't healthy i knew deep down inside some of the emotional eating
behaviors i was doing was not healthy like i did did not need a tub of ice cream every night or you know that was me kind of numbing emotions with using food which wasn't the healthiest thing as a result the actress openly declared 2020 the year of health and shortly after committing to a life of wellness she told et she shed some lbs while filming cats i lost eight pounds shooting my number in four days she documented her workouts and shared her progress along the way smash that and back in july rebel opened up about
her initial motivation to get fit during an instagram live it first started when i was like going through um looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like well you have a much better chance if you were healthier if i'd you know lost some excess weight that it would give give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality at first it wasn't even really myself it was more thinking of a future mini me really during her chat with bbc she gives fans an update on that part of her
life i'm still trying on the fertility journey even though like it is emotional and you get hopeful and then you know your hopes are dashed and so it's like i feel for any woman going through it but i was the classic example of like a career woman who went out into the world didn't even think about kids and then suddenly in your mid-thirties he's like oh hang on do i want that as an option and then if i do what do i need to do rebel adds that while she still wants to have her own
biological children one day she knows that it may not work out that way it could be great if i had my own children but i don't know whether that's going to happen and so i'm trying not to have any expectations set on an outcome just that i'm the healthiest i can be i'm going to try and what what will happen will happen and in the meantime rebel is booked and busy i've got a few very amazing movies coming down the pipeline the almond and the seahorse um that'll premiere early next year and then i just
finished a big cheerleading comedy called senior year for netflix so lots of big stuff i've been very busy this year e.t caught up with rebel back in september at the opening of the academy museum in la and she revealed the costume from her impressive career that she would like to see on display one day i do have my original fat amy costume from pitch perfect and i have it all properly mounted and everything but then nobody's asking for that though but i have it guys if you need it you
