Book Description
We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli as the girl next door cutie,
Barbara Cooper, in the hit TV show "One Day at a Time." Now she is the
divorced mother of a teenager and is conducting a very public -- and already
successful -- campaign to lose weight as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig.
Losing It is Bertinelli's frank motivational story -- from her complicated
family life to her struggles to maintain a healthy self-image while coping
with celebrity, her tumultuous 20-year marriage to rock star Eddie Van
Halen, and her difficulties with depression. She takes us behind the scenes
in her acting career and marriage, recalling the stress and concerns of
being a rock star's wife, the joys of motherhood, her lifelong battle with
weight, and her determination to let herself feel loved again.
With courage and candor, humor and emotion, Bertinelli shares her fears and
insecurities in ways that will appeal to the hundreds of thousands of women
who face these same issues every day.
