Rebel Wilson says that people treat her differently ‘now that I’m in good shape’

Rebel Wilson says people treat her differently now that she’s hit her goal weight as part of her “Year of Health.”

The comedic actress said on her Instagram feed:

Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called “The Year of Health” – so I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?

The 40-year-old Australian actress devoted 2020 to focusing on her fitness and wellness, losing about 60 pounds in the process. Since then, she’s noticed that people treat her differently. “I think what’s been really interesting is how other people treat you,” she shared during an interview this week with the Australian radio show The Morning Crew with Hughesy, Ed and Erin. “Sometimes being bigger, people didn’t necessarily look twice at you,” the Jojo Rabbit star explained. “Now that I’m in good shape, people offer to carry my groceries to the car and hold doors open for you.” She added, “I’m like, is this what other people experienced all the time?”

Wilson’s “Year of Health” also involved working with a fitness trainer and spending time at a detox and wellness center in Austria. She chronicled her wellness journey extensively on social media, sharing photos of workouts, hikes and even her scale as she embraced her new “Fit Amy” lifestyle (a reference to her popular Pitch Perfect character, Fat Amy). But she expressed surprise that so many fans followed along. “I also find it interesting that people pay so much attention to a weight loss transformation, when there’s so much going on in the world,” Wilson admitted.

On Instagram, the star wrote:

Rather than step on the scale, look at yourself in the mirror and be like “dammmm girrrrrl …you’re smart and talented and accomplished and perfect just the way you are.” 😘
