Valerie Bertinelli gets emotional in Instagram post about self-loathing

Valerie Bertinelli, the actress and television personality, got candid with her Instagram followers on Thursday and opened up that she had been struggling with the feeling of self-loathing after seeing a recent picture.

She said she saw a picture and realized it was not where she wanted to be, physically.

"I don’t know if I ever will be," she said. "But when I see it in front of me, it really sends me down that path."

She said she has been doing her best to keep a positive attitude, and "hopefully, my body will follow along." She posted another video—from inside—and told followers that they should all give themselves permission to feel joy.
