Good Morning America Talks to Valerie Bertinelli

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 8:56 AM

Valerie Bertinelli has lived a life in the public eye and has struggled with many of the same issues we all do, including a battle with the bulge.

Valerie Bertinelli has a wonderful story to tell, and she's telling it to the country on Good Morning America this morning. Her tale is one of trial and difficulty while battling with her weight. Her new book, "Finding It: And Satisfying My Hunger for Life Without Opening the Fridge," is a follow up to her previous publication, "Losing It and Winning My Life Back One Pound at a Time." Her first book details Valerie's story of losing 40 pounds after she had reached her heaviest - 170 pounds. She's found weight loss success with Jenny Craig and has found that the struggle doesn't stop with hitting her goal weight, it's staying there. More than a year later, regular exercise and a healthy diet is Valerie's secret to keeping the fat away.

After losing a significant amount of weight, many people are left with some stubborn areas that need a some additional help, which can often be found at the doctor's office. Procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or laser lipolysis are popular to help remove excess skin left behind after extreme weight loss.

Laser lipolysis procedures such as SmartLipo or SlimLipo do double duty for ridding the body of the sagging skin, which can be discouraging after all the work that's been done to lose the weight. With use of a tissue-specific laser, the fat is emulsified and then is suctioned out. The physician is then able to go back in and heat the skin's collagen, reanimating it, resulting in a tighter appearance.

Another disappointment faced by weight loss champions is the cellulite that remains. Even very thin women have cellulite, so what's a girl to do? Luckily, there are many cellulite treatments available these days - Velashape, Mesotherapy, or SmoothShapes just to name a few.

Valerie found help with Jenny Craig, but many turn to medical weight loss or gastric bypass surgery to assist them in reaching their dieting goals. You should consult your doctor before beginning any diet and exercise regimen. Your doctor can recommend the best route to help you reach your weight goal and stay there. Weight loss is about more than getting 'beach beautiful,' it's about being healthy and comfortable in your own body so it's best to make sure you go about it a healthy manner.
