Slim and trim! Valerie Bertinelli started the year 2023 by giving up alcohol. She was surprised when she lost weight by accident.
“Now, here’s a nice thing about Dry January. In a TikTok video from earlier this week, Bertinelli, 62, said, “These jeans were so tight a few months ago that I couldn’t button them.” “Now that they’re too big, I need to go down a size. I like that effect, too.”
After the former star of “One Day at a Time” shared the shocking weight loss, fans rushed to the comments section to talk about their own experiences giving up alcohol.

The Daytime Emmy Award winner, who lost her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen when he died in October 2020, said that when people give their unwanted opinions, they are “not being helpful.”

Do you think I haven’t had enough, lady? Where’s the kindness? Not f–king helpful.”
Bertinelli said that grief has been a big reason why her weight has gone up and down and that she used to eat to “not feel the sadness or stress” in her life.
