Valerie Bertinelli is Fat, Wants to Be a Size 8 Comments (Page 2)

    Size 14 is NOT normal for someone 5'2" so unless you have a death wish for her (or yourself) these comments are destructive. A size 8 for 5'2" IS STILL CURVY.

    Valerie Bertinelli looks like a doll! She should stay around a size 10 or 12. Some girls look great with a few pounds and she is one of them. Curvy women RULE!

    I had wore a size 8 /7 in the past...and I do look fat..even a friend indirectly suggested that I should lose some weight .... I don't think my friend really wanted to hurt my feelings when she said that.... I am a little bit over 5 '5" and I have a larger frame compare to most females like.... Paris Hilton ....

    I agree with Mjoann - just because a size 14 is considered "normal" by US standards today, that doesn't make it healthy. Our society has as a whole grown increasingly heavier each decade. You can blame it on the easy access to fast food (heck, you don't even have to get out of the car at most casual style restaurants anymore to get food) and all the processed stuff we buy at the grocery store. Everyone can moan about how hard it is to lose weight and be satisfied as whole large nation that we are all fat together. There is not denying that at 5'2" a size 14 is probably too heavy - and Ms. Bertinelli has stated that she'd be happy at size 8 - and that would not put her on anyone's skinny list. That would put her at a very heart healthy weight. Who would argue that losing weight to live longer (despite everyone making the excuse that she'd be out of the "norm")? Give me a break (oops, wrong sitcom).

    Are you sure she really IS a size 14? She looks at least 18 to me -- take another look at her hips!

    It's sad that she is giving the message to size 14 women that they are FAT and UNATTRACTIVE. Size 14 is the average size - depending on height. But, I guess if it makes her feel better about herself, then it's fine; however, she shouldn't publicize her weight. She must be in need of money.

    I think that valerie is still beautiful,so what she gained a bit of weight...she looks better that way anyways....even with the round cheeks,and double chin,,,ps and the chubby figure...she looks great to me at 47.....

    Also, according to most women's size charts, a size 14 has a waist measurment of 32-35 inches. Having a waist measurment that fat also puts a woman at very high risk for heart disease and diabetes. If that's what being a size 14 does for your health, I think it's safe to say that it is fat and it is undesirable.

  9. Mjoann

    Size 14 may be "normal," but then again, the majority of "normal" Americans are now overweight and obesity related illnesses such as type two diabetes are becoming more common because of it. In this case "normal" is NOT healthy. Bertinelli is 5'2" which means at size 14 she is definitely overweight for her height. (And that huge mumu she's wearing on the cover of People magazine makes her look even fatter.) I don't condone women looking like stick figures, but on the other hand, fat is not healthy either. Just because fat is becoming the norm does not make it desirable. A size 14 might work on a tall, big-boned athlete, but on petite women it is grotesque and bad for the heart. Maybe Hollywood expects women to be too skinny, but "normal" women are guilty of the opposite. They seem to think every woman should be overweight just because they are. I'd like to see people follow the middle road with a healthy lifestyle and good fat percentages instead of condoning either anorexia or obesity

    Ahhh...if 14 is NOT fat, then I must be living on the wrong planet. Sorry, fat chicks do NOT get as much love, so quit making excuses. Most guys would take ugly and thin over fat and beautiful any day, just a fact of nature.

    I liked Valerie before, and wish her luck, but for now she's fat, and not attractive to me. You may yell at me, but I speak probably for at least 80% of the guys out there, so tough.

    so bertinelli is the new alley, eh? still though, no one will ever be able to replace the charm and charisma of alley, even bertinelli. and doesn't everyone remember the hype alley got in the beginning, positive and negative!? it seems it's rather tame the second time around. i work at NBC and we've been cracking up over Triumph the Comic Dog. he brings me back to the good times when people made fun of alley for all the reasons we love to hate. check it out @ http://video.dotcomedy.com/player/?=85234 , it definitely won't be a waste of time!

    Valerie is beautiful as the size she is. I think this is just another example of Hollywood stars dictating to the public on what is beautiful or what is ugly. As long as she is healthy, excersises and eats well then there is nothing wrong with her size. Your beautiful Valerie just as you are

    I had a typo on my last comment...I meant "maybe 30 lbs is alot; but that's her goal."

    Sorry about that.

  14. Rhea

    I'm also 5'2 and a size 14; I would be thrilled to lose the weight just to be able to move around easier. May 30 is alot; but that's her goal.
    I applaud Valerie for wanting to feel good about herself and get healthier.

  15. julie

    She is beautiful just as she is, She would be an insiration to many middle age women that you can still be sexy at size14 . Personally I think it is so sad that she is feeling she has to be a teenager size again.

  16. Lynne

    Someone must tell these stars that size 14 is NOT fat - it's normal! I would give my right arm to be size 14 again. Size 14 is perfect. Stay that way, Val, you're darling.

  17. jim

    man..she was beautiful as a kid and shes still hot...

    good morning, at five foot two, bertenelli could lose a little weight. if she stays healthy and happy.
    BUT- SIZE 14
    is the normal size of the american woman.
    especially those entering middle age.
    a healthy diet, excercise and a good mental attitude.
    is the most important thing for a well- adjusted woman.
    seems she has a good man behind her.
    hope this isnt all for money.
    because she is beautiful as she is. going down too
    size eight, fromsize 14, at 47 will leave quite a bit of hanging skin.
    well- next stop plastic surgery.
    dont be so drastic valerie.
    thankyou
    ann

    VALERIE IS A DOLL. SHE MAY BE A BIGGER DOLL THAN SHE WAS BUT STILL A DOLL AND A SWEET LADY AND I DON`T LIKE MANY HOLLYWOOD FOLKS.

  20. kelly
