I actually felt sick when I recently saw the cover of Valerie Bertinelli in her bikini. I know I should be happy for her for losing all that weight, and I am. But, pleeeease. There's no way that after losing all that weight, and being the age that she is (I think she's 40), that she wouldn't have some kind of stretch marks or some imperfection on her body. Her photo was so obviously air brushed. There's no way that I, in my 40's, and after having kids, can lose that much weight and look so picture perfect as she apparently does, and yet that's the message she's sending us. That it's perfectly do-able for us to all have 19-year-old bodies just by losing some weight. Yikes. I'd have a lot more respect for her, and would be cheering her on for her weight loss, if she appeared the way she really looks.
