"I want kids or women out there to realize you don't have to be anorexic to be beautiful," Burke tells PEOPLE.
"People will always have an opinion about you, whether it's good or it's bad. But most important is to have a secure feeling about yourself and know that you're beautiful regardless of what people think of you," she adds.
"When I was younger, I wasn't stick thin. I wasn't tall. I don't have long legs. I wasn't naturally skinny. As I grew older, I just became more comfortable in my own skin," she says.

Cheryl You can hang your clothes in my closet any time. Men dont like skinny women. They want a woman with somehing on top. Who wants a stick figure.Besides you are far from fat. It wouldnt hurt if you gain 10 or 15 pounds more.

This really irritates me. I was anorexic for over 20 years trying to look like the STARS. Young girls look at these as their role models and compare themselves to these icons. 10 pounds here or there so what. What is society creating. These women are healthy, they exercise almost non stop. The camera adds 10 lbs, so they are still thin. As long as they do a good job, let them be normal, after all the normal femal is 5'4'' and 140 lbs. where is the normal woman on TV?

So she gain some weight, big deal. I sure wish that everyone than gained weight would have a body like hers, let alone dance as that woman dances. They have made us believe for so long that you have to look like a BAG OF BONES to be beutiful and that is the reason why so many girls have died trying to have the HOLLYWOOD LOOK. Has not everyone notice that these actrices, comedians, reporters, etc. look like they are died. Cheryl, if you feel confortable with the weigh you have, girl, flirt it, dance it and be happy!!!!!!!I My husband and I love the way you dance!!!!!!!
