Losing It ... Valerie Bertinelli's story

So I just finished the new book by Valerie Bertinelli, Losing It ... And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time. I really wanted to read it because being a child of the 70's, I used to love watching the sitcom she was in, "One Day at a Time", with Bonnie Franklin and McKenzie Phillips.  Sure, the show was a little corny, but it was good for a laugh or two. 

Her life story is pretty interesting and quite a roller coaster ride!  She has two brothers and had an older brother who died suddenly at 19 months.  She has constantly battled weight gain and has tried every dieting fad under the sun.  Her marriage to rocker, Eddie Van Halen, was quite tumultuous with drugs, alcohol and all the trappings of a rock star lifestyle.  Both of them were equally into addiction and infidelity and it's unbelievable that they stayed married for over 25 years!
