Bertinelli: I read an article about that online, someone saying, "How dare she say she's fat at a size 14! I'm a size 14. I weigh 140 lbs." Well, if I was a size 14 and 140 lbs., I'd be proud of that, too – but I wasn't. [Editor's note: Bertinelli declined to reveal her heaviest weight.] So people should not take my being fat at a size 14 as an attack on them. There are size 14s out there who are perfectly healthy and should stay a size 14. I wasn't one of them.
How do you now deal with cravings – like a pint of Ben & Jerry's at 3 a.m.?
Alley: I was never a night eater. But for dinner I could eat 10 pounds of pasta.
Bertinelli: That sounds so good!
Alley: It sounds good to me, too – except there is a consequence. I was an athlete, so I used to be able to eat tons of food, but I was also probably working out four or five hours a day. That was hard for me when I could no longer eat tons of food.
Is it harder to diet or maintain?
Alley: Harder to diet, because of all the bad habits [you have to break]. For instance, I don't eat anything fried. I'm not saying I never would . . .
Were you a big fry baby?
Alley: God yes! I'm from Kansas. You'd fry your children if it weren't illegal. One of my favorites was bologna gravy. You fry bologna up, make gravy out of it, and put it over biscuits or toast. I don't do that anymore.
Bertinelli: I love to cook, too, but now I've learned to eat sensibly. I hope this is it for me. I'm done with the crazy eating.
