Cheryl Burke Slams Weight Gain Critics
Champion dancer Cheryl Burke is sending out a special “Up Yours!” to chatty gossips who have criticized her recent “weight gain.”
“People will always have an opinion about you, whether it’s good or bad,” the two-time Dancing with the Stars champ tells People Magazine. “But most important is to have a secure feeling about yourself and know that you’re beautiful regardless of what people think of you.”
The 24-year-old dancer says it took years for her to develop a healthy body image.
“When I was younger, I wasn’t stick thin. I wasn’t tall. I don’t have long legs,” she admits. “I wasn’t naturally skinny. As I grew older, I just became more comfortable in my own skin.”
“I want kids or women out there to realize you don’t have to be anorexic to be beautiful.”
