Cheryl Burke Doesn’t Think She’s Fat
Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has recently gained a whopping five pounds and has garnered huge criticism for it. Now, she’s speaking out.
Cheryl appeared on Good Morning America and said shes still a size four despite gaining five pounds. The criticism, she said, was a huge shock for me. The worst thing Id have to say is that people thought I was a few months pregnant when I started the show. I know Im not fat, but when people keep telling you that you have to think about it. It is hard. Ive always had that naturally curvy body since I was 11 years old.
Cheryl also told People, I want kids or women out there to realize you dont have to be anorexic to be beautiful. Theres a lot of pressure living this Hollywood life. People expect to see you at a certain weight and when you gain a few pounds then all of a sudden its the talk of the week.
When I was younger, I wasnt stick thin. I wasnt tall. I dont have long legs. I wasnt naturally skinny. As I grew older, I just became more comfortable in my own skin, she said.
Personally, I think it’s great that there’s a more “normal” looking dancer on the show. (Even though a size four is still way below average). If all us girls had to look at was Karina Smirnoff and Edyta Sliwinska, we’d all shoot ourselves! Plus, some guys love a curvy girl… Way to stand up for us, Cheryl! I think you look great!!!
