Valerie Bertinelli has been seen lately on magazine covers and on a variety of talk shows thanks to her recent weight loss success. Valerie, now a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, has lost 30 pounds and looks wonderful. I caught a glimpse of her one day last week on a talk show and she is just glowing as if to say, “I cannot believe that I did it!” What I find remarkable and an oddity is that Valerie does not seem as affected as some that have reached stardom do. It is a good thing to see that she is a “real” person.
In addition to all of this she has also written a book, “Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time”. She reveals all in her book about her life in general and her walk to fitness success. You will find that Valerie does not speak down to you, but rather speaks in honesty in hopes that you will feel encouraged by her words. She lets you know that she is just like the rest of us.
This 288-page book will have you nodding your head in agreement to some of the things that Valerie has been through in life. She depicts what so many of us can relate to with her honesty regarding her thoughts and feelings about her life and her battle with food addiction. She is a proven success that any one of us can be a winner and come out on top. In being brave enough to allow everyone to see your faults, challenges, struggles and successes, in being brave enough to wear that little, itty, bitty bikini, and in being brave enough to bare your soul, thank you, Valerie. You are proof that you are never too old to change your ways and get things right one pound at a time, one day at a time.
