Congrats to Kirsty and Val
Just read the People article on Kirsty Alley and Valerie Bertinelli, two of my all time favorite actresses. As I too was a victim of a “noticeable weight gain” I empathized with their plight. People in general can be so critical of others. Which in turn causes us to be so critical of ourselves. I see my young beautiful daughter looking for flaws on her perfect self constantly and it breaks my heart.
A healthy weight is important. You feel better and yes to societies standards you look better. Since I have been on both sides I can tell you that getting dressed in the morning takes much less time when your clothes fit. But… there is always a but…. Getting to this healthy state can be a major struggle for some more then others. While I am happy for Kirsty and Valerie most people do not have the amount of time to dedicate the diet life as they have been fortunate enough to do. I wish them the best of luck keeping it up because take it from me and Oprah the motivation fades and the battle never ends.
