AceShowbiz - Valerie Bertinelli proudly embraced body positivity by posting a revealing selfie to Instagram. At 64, Bertinelli shared a photo of herself in black underwear and a bra, accompanied by a message reflecting on her acceptance and appreciation for her body amidst recent health challenges.

"At some point, I will talk about the madness my body has been through this year," Bertinelli captioned the post. "But right now, every lump, bump, wrinkle, and saggy part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation to be standing in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan ready to color my roots late on a Monday night."

Bertinelli's friends and followers flooded the comments section with messages of support, praising her for her vulnerability and self-confidence. Rosie O'Donnell called the photo "beautiful," while Jennifer Love Hewitt wrote, "I love you so much!"

This isn't the first time Bertinelli has opened up about her body image and mental health. In October, she shared a "before" photo from her time as a weight loss spokesperson for Jenny Craig. She acknowledged the harmful impact of society's obsession with body size and emphasized that health and worth are not defined by appearance.

Bertinelli has also been candid about her struggles with anxiety and self-love. In November, she posted a video of her hand shaking after an anxiety attack, sharing her experience in the hopes of fostering a sense of community and reminding others that they are not alone in their human experiences.

Following her divorce in 2022, Bertinelli has focused on self-care and personal growth. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing self-love and authenticity, believing that giving love to oneself allows individuals to share it with others.
