"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." The author went on to share that she tries not to pay attention to the number on the scale when she weighs herself. "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," she said. Bertinelli, who wrote the book "Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today" earlier this year, said she stopped weighing herself after writing her first novel, knowing the number on the scale will never be "low enough."
