Valerie Bertinelli -- who recently dropped 50 pounds from her 5-foot-4 frame -- has discovered the secret to staying thin.
"I've realized I'm more important than food is. I love a big slice of pizza. But I love myself more," the Jenny Craig spokeswoman tells the November issue of Ladies' Home Journal.

"Being thin is about changing the way you think about yourself," says Bertinelli, 49. andnbsp;It's about saying you deserve to be healthy."
Still, she admits, "In no way have I perfected this eating thing and I don't know that I ever will."
She's OK with that.
"Life is about making progress," she says. "It's not about perfection."

Bertinelli says she used to have a love-hate relationship with her closet.
"For years I hated all my clothes and how I looked in them, and I hated myself for it," admits the actress. "Now it's my inspiration cabinet. I look in here and everything fits. It's kind of a miracle."
Now she loves showing off her body.
"I'm almost 50 and I haven't felt this good about myself since I was 16," she says.
