Valerie Bertinelli has been in the spotlight since she was 15 years old, making her tenure as a celebrity over 50 years. Throughout these decades, she’s been incredibly open about her weight loss journey—the ups, the downs, and the toll it takes on your mental health worrying about weight all the time.
Since her most recent weight loss, a time period she identifies as 2022 – 2024, she’s stayed just as candid on social media, a trait that her adoring fans continuously praise her for. And of course, they can’t help but compliment just how happy and healthy she looks now. Keep reading for all the details.
Valerie Bertinelli's Weight Loss Over The Years
After gaining weight in 2022 during her tumultuous divorce from Tom Vitale, she made a point to prioritize not just her physical health, but her mental health, even more so. In June of 2023, Valerie posted on Instagram to share where she was in her weight loss journey. "Itarted really concentrating on my emotional and mental health. And when I started doing that, I started caring about the nutrition that I put in my body more."
Recently, in March 2024 at Elton John's Oscars Party, Valerie showed off her slim figure in an off-white pantsuit, and the next month, when she released her cookbook, Indulge, she spoke on the topic of weight loss again. "I don’t deny myself anything anymore," she told People. "I think what do I want, as opposed to what am I going to eat because I need to be careful about calories. If I want pasta alle vongole, I’m going to make that. And I’m not going to feel one ounce of guilt about it."
"But I also don’t crave things anymore that won’t necessarily feed my body all the nutrition that it needs," she added. See? It's all about balance.
