Rebel Wilson says she has come to realisation that she won't have a 'bikini body'

Rebel Wilson shares a positive message about body image, expressing gratitude for her body and focusing on health rather than a specific "bikini body" ideal.

"I don't think I'll ever have a bikini body, that's just not me. - Rebel Wilson"

Los Angeles, April 1

Hollywood actress Rebel Wilson has come to the realisation that she will never have a "bikini body", and has made her peace with it.

The 46-year-old star shared a positive message about body image to her Instagram Stories, and she expressed her gratitude to her anatomy for getting her through life, reports 'Female First UK".

Rebel wrote, "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".

The 'Pitch Perfect' star, who previously lost 60 pounds during her "year of health" in 2020, explained that she has been making lifestyle changes but is also reliant on weight-loss medication.

Rebel wrote, "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".

As per 'Female First UK', the actress explained that she was more concerned about being healthier rather than concentrating on the scales when she lost a lot of weight in 2020.

She told People at the time, "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".

Rebel revealed last year how "healthy habits" are pivotal for both her physical and mental health. The Bridesmaids star said in a message to her Instagram followers, "Ok, so you delete some things from your life that are unhealthy and pick up some healthy habits. 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".

Rebel subsequently encouraged her followers to update her on their progress. "I just want you guys to be the healthiest versions of you that you can be. Congrats to everyone that's been on the challenge. Let's go hard week six. Let's do it", she added.

Respect. Our Bollywood actresses could learn from this. It's always about being size zero, but health should come first. Her message about gratitude for what your body does for you is very Indian in spirit - we should respect our 'sharir' (body).

I appreciate her honesty about using medication for help. It's a struggle many face. But I do wonder if promoting weight-loss drugs alongside 'healthy habits' sends a mixed message? The focus should purely be on sustainable lifestyle changes.

"My body has carried me through this life" - this hit home. After my dad's health scare, we've all started focusing on being active and eating home-cooked food, not on looking a certain way. That's the real 'year of health'.

Love sweets but trying to be healthy... story of my life! 😄 It's a constant balance, especially with all our Indian mithais and snacks. Pilates and strength training is a good idea, better than just crash dieting.

The mental health connection is key. In our fast-paced lives in metros like Mumbai or Delhi, stress eating and no exercise is common. Making a checklist of small healthy habits is a practical tip we can all use.
