Cheryl Burke dished on her major weight loss transformation after “cruel” remarks on her appearance.
The Dancing With the Stars alum set the record straight in a recent chat with People about her new appearance revealing a 35-lb. weight loss.
A few days after the dancing pro slammed critics calling her sick and suggesting she was taking weight loss drugs, Burke revealed that her transformation is the result of her lifestyle change.
Burke noted that she is now more focused on her inner beauty rather than how she looks from outside.
“For me, it’s all about starting from within first instead of the aesthetic of what I look like from the outside,” she told the outlet. “My goal wasn’t to lose a certain amount of weight.”
She explained that being a dancer she was constantly under pressure to look a certain way by her “dance coaches”
“It has always been something that kind of weighed on me,” she said, noting “(It) affect(ed) my mood on a daily basis if I didn’t feel like I was skinny enough.”
However, after saying goodbye to Dancing With the Stars, Burke revealed that she shifted her way of life to normal and learned to be easier on herself.
With intermittent fasting and healthy life choices, Burker added, “I just like to continue to move my body and be active.”
