Summary
- Burke tired of comparisons to younger self.
- She attributes body changes to aging, not dieting.
- Burke emphasizes self-care over restrictive eating.
Cheryl Burke has publicly addressed the persistent online criticism regarding her weight and appearance, expressing fatigue over comparisons to her younger self from "Dancing with the Stars." She noted that her body has naturally changed with age, a fact she wishes the public would acknowledge.
Burke revealed in May 2025 that she suffers from body dysmorphia, a condition that has impacted her relationship with food and weight for years. Despite this, she has achieved a weight loss from approximately 150 pounds to 109 pounds, emphasizing that her current focus is on feeling healthy and energized rather than a specific number.
Emphasizing a balanced approach, Burke shared that she still enjoys various foods and credits a meal program called Z.E.N. for promoting portion control and consistency. She advocates for self-care and overall well-being over extreme dieting.
