Valerie Bertinelli<\/strong> <\/a>is no longer stepping on a scale after years of body image issues.<\/p>\n

Bertinelli, 63, took to Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, February 8, to share throwback photos of herself in a bikini<\/a> from 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201c2014 #tbt This is a 150lb body on a 5\u20194 frame,\u201d she wrote alongside the post. \u201cI don\u2019t weigh myself anymore because this is considered overweight by whose standards I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s stupid and I believed them for far too long. I now, finally, know that I am a kind, considerate, funny, thoughtful woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bertinelli included a message of positivity for her followers, adding, \u201cSo please remember, who you are and what your character is, should never be overshadowed by what size you are or how much you weigh. You are enough. Just the way you are. F\u2013k \u2019em \ud83d\udc9c#throwbackthursday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAs these Hollywood celebrities show in their words, actions and online posts, the body-positivity movement has officially entered the mainstream. Well-known activists have used social media as a tool to spread more messages of self-love to their fans. Mindy Kaling made a splash when she posted a series of photos of herself wearing different two-piece [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Food Network star has previously detailed the steps she took to have a better relationship with her body. Following her split from ex-husband Tom Vitale<\/strong>, Bertinelli opened up about how she prioritized her mental health.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s getting about time for me to probably go down another jean size. I can\u2019t believe it. And this all started in November, the month I got free,\u201d she wrote via Instagram in June 2023. \u201cAnd I started really concentrating on my emotional and mental health. And when I started doing that, I started caring about the nutrition that I put in my body more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tThere\u2019s no shame in loving your body. Thankfully, more Hollywood stars than ever before are preaching that message, and they won\u2019t let body-shaming comments slide anymore. Lizzo has been vocal about trying to help people accept all body sizes. \u201cI want to normalize my body. And not just be like, \u2018Ooh, look at this cool [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe harsh words and abuse can never be unheard and taken back, but here\u2019s the thing, I wouldn\u2019t have taken them in and believed them in the first place, if I hadn\u2019t been saying harsh and unkind words to myself first,\u201d she continued. \u201cCaring not so much about calories but what are in those calories? Am I getting enough fiber? Am I getting enough protein? Am I getting enough vitamins, naturally, in my food? Am I drinking too much? What makes me feel better? What makes my body feel better? Keyword, FEEL better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bertinelli concluded the post with a reminder for her fans, adding, \u201cI\u2019m really starting to love myself. Deep down. All this to say I have a lot to talk about and will continue to do so. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. Please be kind to yourselves. You deserve it. We all do. We are enough. \ud83e\udd0d\u270c\ud83c\udffb.\u201d<\/p>\n

That same month, Bertinelli clarified that she was not looking to offer \u201cdiet advice\u201d to others.<\/a><\/p>\n
