Losing It

books

Valerie Bertinelli, then: bubbly sitcom star and America's Sweetheart turned tabloid headline and rock star wife. Now: actress, single working mother of teenage rock star, and weight-loss inspiration to millions.

We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli years ago when she was girl-next-door cutie Barbara Cooper in the hit TV show One Day at a Time, and more recently when she starred in numerous TV movies and co-starred in Touched by an Angel. From wholesome prime time in America's living rooms, Valerie moved to late nights with the hardest-partying band of the decadent eighties when she became, at twenty, wife to rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Losing It is Valerie's frank account of her life backstage and in the spotlight: the ups and downs of teen stardom, her complicated marriage to a brilliant, tormented musical genius, the joys of motherhood, and her very public struggle with her weight.

Surprising, uplifting, and empowering, Losing It chronicles Valerie's journey as she finds new love, raises a terrific kid, and motivates other women to take back their lives.

Valerie, I was wondering if I could send you an email with my story on the struggles of weight. You are such an inspiration to me and I was wondering if you ever consider making a fan's dream come true? If I ever had a dream it would be to meet you and work with you on JennyCraig to make my weight struggles a reality. I have overcome so many health issues and feel if I could have you to look to for the guidance and inspiration, I could finally make my dreams a reality. Please consider and I can go into more detail if you ok the email idea.

I consider it a very rare privilege to have listened to the audio version of the book. There's something truly personal and powerful about hearing Valerie's own story in her own words. It is an honest presentation of the rough edges of a life that has been lived. Those of us over age 50 can certainly hear and relate to the ebb and flow of everything to the point in the story that the book took us.

Hi Valerie! I love your new TV show, HIC. I am almost finished reading Losing It. Although our lives are very different, I feel we have a lot in common. Hope you are able to read my stuff in the future and "compare notes!"

I bought both of the books and I'm looking forward to reading both of them! Also, love Valerie's 2 piece pajama line. My Mom
