Valerie Bertinelli gets candid about her weight and mental health
CNN
Valerie Bertinelli says she hasn't gotten on a scale since she wrote her memoir "Enough Already."
The actress, writer and Food Network host got emotional talking about weight and body image during her appearance Thursday on "Today with Hoda & Jenna."
"I'm looking at the monitor and trying not to judge myself too harshly right now because I know that I'm still holding on to this weight because it's protecting me right now," she said tearfully. "Because I'm going through a lot of challenges, a lot of heartbreak, a lot of crazy stuff going on in my life right now."
