Bertinelli: We're taking responsibility. No one shoved that food in my mouth except me.
Alley: Exactly. It's making me more ethical as a person who's taking responsibility for how she got there in the first place. My opposition to gastric bypass is you never undo what you did to begin with, so you're sitting there with the same bad habits.
Bertinelli: I've come to the realization that once you lose the weight, you don't all of a sudden get happy. Sure, it's easier to put on clothes, but I've lost the weight so many times thinking, "Oh, if I just weighed this much I'd be so much happier." I know now I still have to work on that other stuff that has nothing to do with weight.
Beyond the weight itself, what was the worst part about being heavy?
Bertinelli: Wardrobe fittings! It used to be when I'd do a movie, I'd be like, "Do I have to tell them I'm a size 14"? and be really embarrassed about it.
Alley: I think about all the parties I didn't go to because I felt bad about how I looked. That's so selfish. And I look at how my children [Lillie, 13, and William True, 14] suffered because I wasn't happy.
