The 2000s were not a great time for body image and body positivity culture. Food Network star Valerie Bertinelli remembered that era with frustration when she was going through her closet. She found the clothes she had worn in a "before" shot for a Jenny Craig commercial she did in 2009, in which she credited the brand with helping her lose 40 pounds.

In the video released to Instagram recently, Bertinelli wore the same outfit as in that "before" shot, and expressed anger that she thought she was fat in that outfit.

“I have done so much emotional and mental work to recover from years of, ugh, pretending everything was OK when it wasn’t. Health is not a body size. Health is not that number you see on a scale. Your worth as a human being isn’t dictated by your body.”

Her caption was also poignant, explaining with vulnerability that she, like all of us, is on a journey of self-acceptance.

"Our bodies do not define who we are as human being’s. A number on the scale does not define how much love your heart can hold."


People thanked her for being so vulnerable and sharing her story.

Woman Puts The Gap On Blast After Her New Leather Pants Make Hilariously Unfortunate Sound

It's an interesting time for clothing. Micro-thin thongs are now sporting faux hair, and faux leather pants apparently aren't creaking like the leather pants from the '80s—instead, they're quacking like ducks.

This hilarious and embarrassing discovery was made by TikToker @gabymixco, who shared a video on the platform while sporting her loose-fitting faux leather pants, just to call The Gap out on their production design.

DHS Blasted After Buying $172 Million Luxury Jets For Kristi Noem Amid Government Shutdown

According to publicly available documents reviewed by The New York Times, the United States Coast Guard purchased two Gulfstream private jets on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's and other top officials' use, at an estimated cost of about $172 million.

The Coast Guard put in a request for a single $50 million jet for Noem's use in its budget for fiscal year 2025—the proposed purchase was discussed in congressional hearings in May—making the expenditure unrelated to the current government shutdown.

Mike Johnson Gets Epically Fact-Checked After Trying To Blame Nancy Pelosi For His Refusal To Swear In New Dem Rep.

House Speaker Mike Johnson was swiftly fact-checked by ABC's Jonathan Karl after he tried to blame Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi—and what he referred to as the "Pelosi precedent"—for his refusal to swear in Democratic Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva weeks after her election.

Johnson previously dismissed threats of legal action for not swearing in Grijalva, overwhelmingly elected by her constituents several weeks ago, saying the outrage "was a publicity stunt by a Democrat Attorney General in Arizona who sees a national moment and wants to call me out."
