Calling Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke fat is like calling Mark Zuckerberg poor – but that didn├óΓé¼Γäót stop Cheryl from losing confidence when a tabloid published unflattering photos of her.
“One night I was supposed to go out with my friends but I couldn’t do it. Every time someone looked at me I was like, ‘That person thinks I’m fat,” she remembers.
The two-time Dancing champ, 26, was devastated. She tried everything from nearly starving herself to diet pills, which Burke said are “Nasty” and made her feel “anxious and shaky.”
Eventually Cheryl lost the extra 5 – 10lbs she gained durning the show’s hiatus the healthy way: frequent works outs and a well rounded diet – which includes lots of fruits and veggies, and the occasional splurge.
“I love carbs and I love chips,” she says. “I’m not going to deprive myself ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ but instead of eating potato chips I’ll eat Triscuits or low-fat Cheez-Its. But as long as I work up a sweat and eat clean, I’m okay. I feel great about my body.”
OMG Cheryl, you should feel great about your body! UR Beautiful!
