Valerie Bertinelli hugs her body.

The 64-year-old Food Network alum posted a mirror selfie on Instagram in which she talked about how accepting she felt about her body despite the hard things it’s been through over the last year.

In the photo, Bertinelli was seen wearing a black two-piece, taking a photo of herself without makeup, with her hair down and holding a box of hair dye at the camera. She appeared to be standing in front of a sink in a bathroom with her glasses folded up on the counter.

“At some point I’ll talk about the craziness my body has been through this year,” she captioned the photo. “But right now, every lump, bump, wrinkle and sagging part of me just feels acceptance and simple appreciation as I stand in front of a mirror in a hotel bathroom in downtown Manhattan late on a Monday night, ready to embrace my roots.” dyeing.”

This post comes a few days after she revealed on her Instagram Stories an injury she recently sustained from a fall. In the snap, she showed off a close-up of her bandaged knee as she shot a funny face at the camera.

“I still have the knees of a 9 year old because I fall way too often than is comfortable for someone my actual age,” Bertinelli wrote on her Instagram at the time.

However, that wasn’t the only injury recently The Drew Barrymore Show The correspondent confirmed. Bertinelli shared in October that she injured her arm while working on a “top secret project” after tripping “over the corner of a stage” and falling in front of the crew and audience.

She revealed the fresh scar in a mirror selfie taken with her phone camera, showing the torn skin stretching from just below her wrist to above her elbow.

She captioned the photo: “I would charge hazard pay but it was my own damn fault.” 🥴.” She added that the Bertinelli were mostly “because I’m a klutz.”

Bertinelli – who recently split from writer Mike Goodnough – has spoken openly in the past not only about her physical ailments, but also her mental and emotional ones. On November 17, she also revealed that she had suffered an anxiety attack in a “scary” and “vulnerable” Instagram post.

Alongside a video of her shaking hands, the star wrote: “I’ve been sitting on this post for a day because it’s incredibly vulnerable and it’s always scary to share.” But I’m posting because we’re all here trying our best to have a human experience outside, and none of us want to feel like we’re alone in that. 🤍V.”

After taking a “deep breath,” Bertinelli recalled suffering a “really bad anxiety attack,” something she noted in the clip that she hadn’t had in “a very, very long time.” She described it by saying: “A few hours ago I was crying uncontrollably and my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. I couldn’t stop shaking.”

“Fortunately, these attacks have become much rarer, so this one surprised me a little today. This is the aftereffect,” she added.
