Rebel Wilson on her 'year of health' during the pandemic - 100 Women, BBC World Service 

It's so true!! Two degrees mean nothing for a woman, but a nice picture with nice clothes and hair?? ATTENTION GALORE!!

It is very true and very depressing!

It only matters when we seek validation for our own achievements from others It is very empowering & important, to always take time to say to yourself: WELL DONE ME! 😺

@@MsElke11 exactly, I did not know until right now watching this video that Rebel had any degrees! I've seen so many articles about her weight, what she's wearing etc, but I have never seen the media respect or champion her for being so intelligent, or having a law degree.

So very well said. And its just sad. Question is can we change that, or we just let it be

It’s interesting that you say that, because I was thinking about how this interview would have gone if it was Jimmy Fallon interviewing her - he never lets anyone finish a sentence before he interrupts them.

It was an outstanding interview. Thanks for bringing to our attention.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

I agree, but I think both sexes should be professional and respectful with each other, not just women empowering women but all human beings. The world really needs it.

very true - I thought the same, very thoughtful interviewer.

Yesss!! She is so inspirational accomplishing what she has recently, and in the past as well. !!

So true !

She fooled you.

TOULA….

I appreciate how she states that it's important to get to the state of health where you feel comfortable with yourself.

I never knew her backstory. She's phenomenal.

THANK YOU!!! How many questions about weight loss do you have? She is more than her size. GEEZ!

@burteriksson Meow!

People put too much emphasis on weight - particularly with women. Good for her that she’s been able to accept herself as is, regardless of how others see her.

I love this too! ❤️

@@Jleigh225 me three!

yes, and that can also be appearing fat as fat is often more healthy than thin - appearances and weight do not determine health in the slightest

@@leagratch8718 having excessive weight on your body is never healthy. It puts strain on your joints, heart, lungs, etc. It's been proven over and over again.

It's one of those things that sound good but it's actually empty

And obviously spiritually awakened. She literally saw her future as an actress! :)

You might want to check her Twitter squabble with and against Black women. Changed my purview of her as we were fans until tht debacle.

Agree agree!

Hello 👋

Yes, it's very soothing and inspiring to hear her document her journey. I can just imagine how much more the universe yield to match her new will.

@lady killer its a comment grow up, get some help you have too much hate in your heart

she looked younger and prettier when she was fat. losing the fat around her facemake her look old

Good on ya. Well done

Incredible!!!

I'm turning 47 in July and I've started the process of turning my life around too. I've been saying I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Thank you for this motivation!

Upload video want to see and you looking beautiful in photos

Where I can see you

You are so pretty!

@@witty448 appreciate that :)

@@KerryNeeds I'm 37 too and I love seeing women like Rebel Wilson. Oh btw if the previous one said your pretty I comment on it too that I agree :D Hope you're having a good summer!

@Hot Butterflies 😊👋

@Hot Butterflies You have to chill! You really have nothing better to do than spread hate? Take care and go to therapy 😊

@@gabyalmanza4662 "take care and go to therapy" 😂😂 the best line I've read in response to a comment like this in a while! Made me laugh 😊

Lisa Grace. I agree with every you said about Rebel except the “humble” bit. That she is not. I know she is very loyal to her friends including those who were she was close to when she was relatively unknown. She has achieved much and she has a right to be slightly arrogant and laud her achievement. Which she is and does constantly. She has always been super confident.

You said it perfectly!

she won a case for defamation of character regarding her real name, i don't think she represented herself

Fortunately Rebel realized that she isn't one of the lowest forms of life (Banker, Politician, Lawyer) and is sticking with entertainer.

@@JJSPARROW1978 Could you elaborate on that

@@FC-eh7ll Sure. Rebel provides a service for entertainment, which in her specific area is humour. Feeds the soul, makes people laugh be happy. A Lawyer doesn't give a fudge about making people laugh, be happy. Just there to trick people, twist words and generally act, as I said like lower forms of life.

but i didn't forget.. lol... i just didn't know.

Good job on your journey to a healthier you 💪🏻👏🏻

@@filmchick6389 Thanks.

Well done you! I love that health is the focus and not weight.

@@ayn3862 Yes, when I started the whole process, I weighed 396 pounds, I felt horrible throughout my body. But, when I lost all that weight, the first thing I noticed wasn't how good I looked, rather how good I feel about myself. No more back problems, knee problems. I'm still some 50 pounds short of my goal, but now I have no doubt I will make it.

💜💜💜 so amazing. I'm so happy you're doing it for you and not for society.

I absolutely agree with you

I agree but for most it's very difficult and time goes by so fast.

Didn't she get a very brutal surgery, tho? And probably much more to get rid of the skin?

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 of course she did. Many average ppl can't afford that

That was a good one… or it would have been, were this a laughing matter.

or maybe we just focus on being human. I mean people keep talking about no genders or gender fluidity, until of course you want to cry solidarity. Good ol chicks, post first wave feminism, always looking for the advantage. Bunch of hypocrites.

Ah the ingratitude of youth. There are legions of people in every generation who dedicate their lives to making things better for the next and future generations. They suffer emotionally, physically, professionally, and financially for their non-conformity and for advocating for the greater good. Seems like a clean conscience is their only reward. Well, you're welcome anyway.

Hello 👋

I think there were a lot of women who were -- in those days -- just too ashamed to talk about it (also realizing they would be the ones blamed for the experience) and also believed that was just the way things were. Changing attitudes and "Me, too" is a part of women coming forward honestly and also protectively.

I love her smile

100%! I always wished I had her smile

That would make me upset, because women "only" have value if they look a certain way.

I believe that there's something mentally wrong with females. People recognized her when she started her career as a overweight female and purposely signed up for these comedic roles as a overweight female actress. Now with in a year she have lost weight and she's going on these interviews for that "hey everyone, look at me" attention and to create a different type of relevancy as a "victim" seeking sympathy/empathy from society. But guess who's not talking about her weight at a large percentage? Men aren't!

I looooved the way you described weight: “gravitational pull on Earth!!!”

Same here. Was very thin when I was young. Noone cated as to what I had to say for its value, they couldn't see beyond the body. I went invisible when the weight came on, and then peoele listened to what i said, but noone paid any attention beyond that. And now that the weight is coming off, I'm shocked at how the world treats me different . I'm starting to not be invisible. I'm still the same person inside. Only the outside changed.

All the best to you on your journey!

You go girl

Im down 54 now! Slowed down loosing but, I'm not gaining! Thank you!!

I think you've made the key point... a healthy lifestyle is supposed to be for life. It's about much more than looks and weight. All the best to you!

Great job! 👍🏼

Hello 👋

She's a pretty badass women!

"I am a lawyer" ....very direct way of showing strength. She got that degree so she deserves to call herself a lawyer.

Yass, wat to go. More power to you💪🏾

@@lalasng8643 thank you so much

Good for you, you must be proud.

so true!!!

That fits perfectly and describes exactly what we feel ☺️

Oh yeah, it takes so much strength not to eat that 8th chocolate biscuit

Sugar is more addictive than cocaine apparently. Once you just decide to choose healthy stuff, your body won't create mad cravivings and addictive patterns.

To be fair, as a millionaire you have a much easier time achieving what she did. Can hire a cook, to ear delicious but super healthy stuff. Can afford the most expensive but healthy ingredients. Can afford and have the time to set up a customized work out and diet routine. The list goes on. The average person doesn’t have that privilege. Doesn’t take away from her accomplishment though, since she first had to earn her wealth first, while sacrificing her youth and fertility.

I could not agree more… I’m a very small girl however her drive and motivation has inspired me to get back into the gym it’s not about how big or small you it’s how healthy you can be….the fact that her determination is what we need to look at I’m inspired

You do know she is a lawyer right?

Beautiful soul

FAR from it!!

She's Gay.........................

That’s what I’m doing looking for motivation

Someone cried 😳

Happy or sad tears??

I beg to ask where's the fakeness? They ignored you when you were fat & congratulated you when you lost 60 pounds. It is a sizeable change & accomplishment on your part. The crying is a bit much but other than that, it would've been fake if they would've continued ignoring you when you lost that good amount of weight. Now is it shallow af, yes it is. But that the world we live in. Sometimes you get good people that don't give a sh*t either way.

Ah yes, I’m invisible too. Their loss.

@@roxxylala26 At best, it’s shallow. On the inside, they’re the same person both pre and post weight loss. What kind of person chooses who to interact with (and to ignore) based on size alone, especially a coworker??

And also romantic interest leads

@@tvs9978 yes I can definitely see her having more of those roles, although she kind of had a romantic part in the Pitch Perfect 2 movie!

@@GardenMinistry.Yep I immediately thought she'd be perfect to be the new lead for an updated Bridget Jones' Diary

An inspiration and example cause she’s lost weight? Get a grip.

@@deanellison9206 you are reaching there buddy!! Nice try though! Have a good day 😌

Hello 🩸

@Kml Art I know right?! SO cool!!

I absolutely agree with you

Yes!!, agreed!! 👏👏😼

Not gonna lie, its because they are cute visually, like pandas

Not gonna lie, I don't even like round chicks but I found her extremely delicious. Even now she is attractive, she just seems more serious now.

It is worth noting that she exploited the beauty side of her weight loss. If it helps get out a positive message, that's great, but she did pose for publicity photos designed to emphasize her weight loss and "beauty" aspect.

@@zweigackroyd7301 so what...

@@zweigackroyd7301 yeah maybe wanted to get treated more seriously she also wants to have kids so yeah

Yep, I can attest as someone with PCOS, the next level of difficulty is REAL. And everyone is an emotional eater and being around people who aren't eating like me, triggers me to want to eat their bad food. I like the fresh raw foods more tho, they taste so much better. Its just so easy, to eat bad food.

PCOS and diabetes are both the result of hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance.

Same! I lost two stone recently and I get treated completely differently now 🤨

I had gained and lost 60 ponds up and down and now back up (sigh)... and I will tell you that's not the men but our body language that makes them treat us differently...

I think that's what I resent- is not just men- it's everyone. Women too. I can't do much to change my weight due to health conditions- when eating like an athlete doesn't change it due to my conditions. I just have to live with it, but everyone treats you differently. I think a lot of it is subconscious and I want to not do that to others.

Having been both slim and overweight i can totally identify with this - and it’s not just men, it’s everyone. So superficial and sad, but it’s true.

@@ElibelDublin exactly- it is everyone. Women included.

I agree. Our misogynist society likes to tell women that they peak in their 20s, but I've seen that proven to be a lie countless times.

I'm in my early 30s and fighting for this 🙏🙏

Completely agree. I’ll be 48 in about 3.5 hrs and I’m in the best health and comfortable in my skin for the first time of my life and loving every minute of age I am. (The pandemic scared it into me) I hope by the time I’m 50 I can be in the best shape ever too! I hear 50 is the new 20! Just wiser and we take no shit😬

@Sandi Stava..... She said 30 and was talking about acting.

But she is specifically talking about an industry where your appearance is completely central to your success

THERE'S a movie you're unlikely to ever see. Lol

Exactly.

I felt that scene was scripted. Why would she have the photos right beside her as evidence.

That's awesome but the movie wasn't worth it. It was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life

If that's your photo, they're right.

Tell them “thanks, but my doctor has advised me otherwise.”

No doubt about it. She's awesome, and has always been gorgeous.

What

Huh?? It took so many times reading to grasp what you meant. 😆 I thought, "nobody tries to make it with sexual harrassment. Nobody requires a role model for expecting safety." I guess you meant 'protector', not 'role model'.

And she didn’t come off as your typical ‘love your self’ actress like Jennifer Lawrence who I’d say is the most arrogant actress in Hollywood. She’s refreshing, intelligent and amazingly self-effacing …qualities sometimes hard to find in Hollywood

The questions aren't interesting , but her answers are .

Humble and genuine?? Did we Watch the same interview? Don’t get me wrong she sure is an inspiration and I echo all the warm sentiments Of the below and above comments about her journey to where she is…. But humble is not a quality that shone through even a second of this interview. Not with standing all these positive comments, she didn’t let the interviewer finish a single question she barely even let her get to the question itself and as much as she absolutely deserves all the praise she’s getting here in his comments, but during the interview, the amount of times she made me cringe giving herself (accurate) praise. So… accomplished? Yes! Inspirational? Absolutely to some! … but humble?? Hardly! (Hope you don’t take this as a trolling rant, I genuinely do agree that she is magnificent, she could have just let the interviewer finish just one question. I cringed)

Zero likes for your comment. Looks like nobody shares your opinion.

♥️

Lol, cute comment🤣

Hello 👋🩸🩸

Congratulations. Keep it up. Happy holidays. ❤

She wasn't beautiful when she was obese

@@beavallens5524 she was . She's always been beautiful.

@@beavallens5524 Beauty is subjective. I agree with Noa.

@@annettefournier9655 nope

I agree with that

Thank you, I was wondering the same thing, and honestly, it doesn't seem like anyone was interested in what she had to say or her intelect when she was still fat. It's basically saying that your only niche, when you're fat, is being funny. Think about it. The few fat actors and actresses you know are comedians. I am a fat girl, so no big discovery for me, but think of what it says to all of us out there : Your only worth is to make the rest of us laugh. We will accept you as an intelligent being, as an equal, only when you lose the weight. This is so heartbreaking.

Hello 👋

If you're bigger and body postive it's difficult and you are met with a lot of push back. But then if you aren't over weight then it's 'of course you're body postive, you have a great body'. I think the world needs to move away from judging other people bodies and focus on health and other world issues.

Thank you for highlighting my comment. I am so happy Rebel is going to be mom. She'll be an awesome mom. ❤❤💕💕💔💔🍀🍀🐇😻😻🦃💖💖💖💞💞🥰🥰❣💝🐢😇💗💗💘❄❄💜💜🐶💓💓💓🐶🐶💜💜❄💘💘💗😇😇🐢💝❣❣❣❤💕💔🍀🐇😻🦃💖💞🥰🥰

she made super slapstick Woke Chic Flix. The Toxic Body Positivity drama open doors for her. Bridesmaid had such a Crude Humor. But it is great, she was honest about what she really needs, Health and Beauty.

I disagree Gaby, weight has to do with a lot of things

@Hot Butterflies chill... its just a youtube comment

Ruth I assume she wouldn't cheat that shows in demure of a woman. She seems blocked.a little guarded however friendly.

Yes Adele has it too

She is not a Lawyer though. She is technically and legally a Law Graduate. FYI - In Australia, you aren't considered a Lawyer until 1. complete a Bachelor of Laws, 2. complete a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, and 3. get admitted in either the County Court to Supreme Court in Australia. So if you only complete a Law degree, you are a Law Graduate (not a Lawyer).
