Rebel Wilson's management were opposed to weight loss plan

Los Angeles, Dec 8 (IANS) Hollywood star Rebel Wilson has said that her management team were opposed to her losing weight because she had been so successful playing the "funny fat girl".Wilson told 'BBC Breakfast': "I got a lot of pushback from my own team actually, here in Hollywood, when I said OK, I'm going to do this year of health, I feel like I'm really gonna physically transform and change my life."And they were like why? Why would you wanna do that? Because I was earning millions of dollars being the funny fat girl and being that person."The actress used food as a way of "numbing emotions" and as a defense mechanism to hide her insecurity at not being a "natural performer", reports femalefirst.co.uk.She said: "I knew deep down inside that some of the emotional eating behaviours I was doing was not healthy. Like I did not need a tub of ice cream every night. That was not, that was me kind of numbing emotions using food, which wasn't the healthiest thing.'"I think it was dealing with not being a natural performer, and having to perform every day. And that pressure and internal stress to be able to perform like that."
