Rebel Wilson shared a relatable message about gaining weight on vacation

If you follow Rebel Wilson on Instagram, you may have noticed that she has been vacationing in Cappadocia, a region in Turkey, for the past few days. Along with some amazing travel photos, the actress recently shared a candid update about her weight during her trip.

Wilson posted a photo of herself in a pink one-shoulder swimsuit and a white cover-up. She stands in front of clear blue water and appears to be living in vacation mode. In the caption, the Senior Year star revealed that she had gained weight on her trip. More importantly, she shared why she doesn't have a hard time about it.

"I just realized I gained 3kg on my vacation 🙈 I'm at an amazing all inclusive resort... I've lost all self control 😜," Wilson wrote. "But you know what? I can get up tomorrow and go to the gym and drink and eat healthy and love myself." She went on to offer some words of wisdom to her followers.

"It doesn't help to be hard on yourself, but I know what it's like to feel guilty and not great after eating too much. But if you're like me, just know that YOU are more than just your weight," Wilson wrote. "Your weight doesn't define you, just try your best to be healthy and don't be so hard on yourself 💗 Be the best version of yourself 💗" (Psst, Gabrielle Union also opened up about her weight fluctuations.)

This comes more than two years after Wilson declared 2020 her "year of health," which she has since revealed was a result of reflecting on her fertility. Throughout her health journey, Wilson has shared the workouts she's incorporated into her routine, including outdoor tire flips, surfing lessons, and simply walking. Her hard work seems to have paid off as she announced that she had reached her goal weight at the end of 2020.

In fact, Wilson said earlier this year that she was feeling her best yet. "It's not just about how I appear on the outside, but also about how I feel," she told Yahoo Life in April. “…Many of my friends say that even though I was confident before, I have a newfound confidence.”

Wilson still seems focused on how she feels, enjoying her latest vacation without paying much attention to any number on the scale. Her followers were quick to support her in the comments on her latest post. “I needed this 😩 thank you so much 🥰,” one commenter wrote. "Nicely said. It's not easy when you lose weight and then feel like you've somehow failed when you put it back on. In the meantime, focusing on loving myself. ❤️," said another.

If you can relate to Wilson's recent post, it's important to remember that weight fluctuates daily and that gaining weight during a vacation is completely normal. Wilson has the right idea as she strives to remain kind to herself every day.
