Rebel Wilson talks about her nervous hunger and, thanks to her, we can figure out how to deal with the problem

Rebel Wilson’s physical change has been a topic of discussion lately, like that of the singer Adele. In fact, even the actress complained about a kind of media obsession with her weight loss who fantasized about miraculous diets and extreme sports exercises: “That’s not true, I simply started taking care of myself and, for the first time in my life, I put myself and my health above everything and these are the results ».

Wilson however, he talked about one of his biggest problems with his weight: nervous hunger. I imagine that all of us, reading these two words, know very well what it is because throwing ourselves on comfort food, junk food or sweets when we are nervous, tired or down in the dumps is almost an uncontrolled reaction. However, for many, it is an isolated case, for others it has become a systematic way to process their emotions and the extra pounds that follow are only the most obvious symptom of a state of psychological malaise. «I have always been the type of person – he stressed – who lost a few pounds, but in a short time he always got them all back, if not more. Because when a stressful event occurs, I continue to run to eat only that, unlike in the past, now I can manage it “.

I know, it’s easier said than done but the actress demonstrates that it is possible to circumscribe the problem, without setting fallible goals such as: I will no longer eat a certain type of food or I will eat 5 almonds instead of a packet of biscuits. There is not a recipe valid for everyone: for the actress it was finding a balanced diet and inserting sporting activity in her daily routine, but always turning to specialists and avoiding miraculous or do-it-yourself recipes. One thing, however, the protagonist of Watch out for those two: never lose self-confidence. «When I weighed more and began to take my first steps in the world of cinema, every time I showed up at the auditions I always received the same answer“ no, you’re overweight, you’re not doing well ”. My answer was: “well, I’ll turn this into my strength”. In fact, her physicality has always been a source of pride for her and an integral and fundamental part of her roles on the big screen.

So, a few things to keep in mind next time we want to enjoy a burger when we’ve had a particularly difficult day: let’s not feel guilty because there’s nothing wrong with it. If we notice, however, that it becomes a systematic way to vent one’s negativity, don’t be afraid to ask for help to understand what’s going on and how we can better deal with the situation. But above all, never lose self-confidence and never stop loving each other!
