The actor, celebrity chef and author opened up about body positivity in a first-person essay she wrote for New Beauty.
The actor, celebrity chef and author penned a first-person essay forBertinelli“But I want to start feeling the same about myself—no matter what weight I am,” she said. “I don’t have to wait until I’ve lost weight to be kind to myself and to be kind to others. It shouldn’t matter what I look like.”
While she attempts to turn that mindset into her reality, Bertinelli, who recently wrote a book titled, “Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today,” said she tries her best to not care about the number on the scale. She explained, “I think that’s important. I think many, many, many people live with a lie that we were told, that we’re unlovable when we gain weight, and it’s simply not true.”But, she said she realizes that the number on the scale will never be “low enough,” so she no longer weighs herself.
“I stopped weighing myself when I finished writing my book, which was a big thing for me, and I haven’t gotten on a scale since,” she wrote. “My clothes still fit; my jeans still zip up. I guess I was afraid that if I didn’t see what number I was and if I wasn’t able to keep an eye on it, that I would balloon up…but that hasn’t happened.
