Valerie Bertinelli wants to be ‘kind’ to herself no matter whether or not she’s ‘lost weight’

Valerie Bertinelli wants to be kind to herself no matter what her body weighs. The "One Day at a Time" alum penned an essay for New Beauty in which she described feeling less-than-confident in her own skin, especially when she was not at her ideal weight. “For me, the big thing is my weight — it’s the thing that holds me back. But I want to start feeling the same about myself — no matter what weight I am,” she wrote. “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. I’m trying to make that a reality in my life, and then, hopefully, my body will follow.”
