Valerie Bertinelli, who lost 40 pounds on Jenny Craig, says she doesn’t ever envision a day when she will stop dieting — and that’s a good thing! “I told someone the other day that even when I am not their spokesperson anymore — which I hope never happens — I’m going to stay on Jenny Craig forever,” she tells In Touch. “I want my consultant Kathy Brumwell to stay in my life. We have a really great relationship and she gives me lots of tips. She helps me stay grounded and feel like I’m not drowning anymore.” On July 10, Valerie, 48, was in New York to promote the myidealsize.com contest, whose winner she will co-star with in a Jenny Craig commercial. Valerie, who surfs in one of the ads, says her favorite foods on the program are chicken fajitas and cheese curls.
