I’ve kept quiet when it comes to those discussions because it’s something that I struggle with and I know what it’s like to be talked about by looking too skinny.

But trust me when I say it is one of the scariest things to go through not only for yourself, but for the people who love and care about you. I am a mom whose daughter struggled through an eating disorder for 4 long years. As much as I love this show, and respect many of the DCC ladies, I ALWAYS cringe when they speak to these girls about their weight. The pressure to stay thin...look perfect...stay young...look beautiful...for life is so hard for these young girls (and women in general)! Back when Chelsea was cut, I was really upset that they had called in these very thin looking girls (at least, to me they were) and said they needed to loose weight. Like someone said above, expecting a girl, from age 18-23, to stay the same weight is just unrealistic because their body is changing from a young lady into a full woman. I mean....poor Megan Sharp. Humiliated on national tv....increasing her short size by two sizes....Meredith Oden.....when she was trying out...the sign on her mirror at home about not overeating....staying thin.....Grace Sells, Elizabeth Reuter (who both worked so hard to loose the weight) yet, are called out on tv where the camera goes right to their mid section! It’s a double edge sword....to be a DCC! If you are privilege to make it...that’s awesome!!! BUT....the pressure to be perfect 100% of the time is why many (I believe) are one and done girls! I didn’t know much about ED’s before going through it with my daughter. She’s 21 now and doing well. However, an ED will stay with you forever. There will always be that ‘pull’ to stay thin. My heart and prayers go out to EVERY girl who has/does struggle with this and for the parents who can do nothing physically to help their child. I would never wish this illness on my worst enemy! To you girls (who struggle with an ED on this forum), I pray you are getting the help you need. Sending love and prayers your way! Keep moving forward!

Victoria’s cause is because of herself which when I read it came across as selfish. Her explanation of why she chose her cause struck me more like self-absorption … which she has already more than demonstrated as one of her personality traits in general! I put the blame for this completely tone-deaf response squarely on the shoulders of the brilliant DCC power(s) that be who approved each cheerleader’s selection of/narrative on why they chose their respective causes. I think the cause is a good one- but entirely inappropriate for anyone associated with the DCC (not just VK) to comment on. VK is young and immature- and while that is not an acceptable excuse for her poor behavior in some of the situations she has been in- in this case I can imagine her immaturity resulting in not knowing what to do/which cause to choose and therefore being more than willing to be ‘guided’(?) by the adults in the room (TK, Kelli, Charlotte…?) who thoughtlessly decided -or agreed with her if she truly came up with it on her own- it would be the perfect issue for Victoria. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of VK. I agree with most everyone’s negative opinion on the way she made the team as well as the way she continues to receive and enjoy (apparent) undeserving preferential treatment: i.e. unapologetic nepotism. If it sounds like I’m letting her off the hook here, it’s only because in this particular case I am less offended by her predictably self-centered ‘story’ on why she selected her cause, than I am by the appalling hypocrisy of the DCC organization as a whole claiming to support healthy body image for women. They think it’s perfectly fine to repeat ad nauseum that the minuscule ‘uniform is unforgiving!’ and that ‘the shorts keep getting smaller and smaller!’ and admit openly that not looking good enough by their standards (e.g. thin enough, tall enough, not too athletic/muscular, not too ‘boxy’ frame, not having what they think is a weird smile or eyes that are too wide open or closed, not “looking like the girl next door but the girl from last night,”… the list goes on, right?) can be enough to cut a girl from training camp or the team. All of these girls/women are stunningly beautiful; yet how often have we seen Kelli Finglass not just find a prospective or current cheerleader’s appearance lacking in some superficial (and often invisible to me) way, but gleefully and/or cruelly mock a girl’s appearance (and on national television no less)? People can say what they want about social media commentary being the villain in feeding the fire leading young girls and women (and boys/men) to fall into the pit of negative body image, and I would agree it has become a factor. However the DCC should be accountable for/recognize that their own role in openly encouraging unhealthy body image for women has no doubt led many to believe they will never be thin ‘enough’ (or their breasts large ‘enough’ or their hair style glamorous ‘enough’ or...). The DCC organization has gone so far as to institutionalize unhealthy body image expectations by requiring their cheerleaders to sign a contract stipulating that maintaining an unrealistic weight level is a requirement for keeping their job. (And for the unfortunate ones who verge into the red zone of increasing weight, we are treated to the fake concerned canned bullshit from Kelli, ‘we want you to lose weight in a ‘healthy’ way…) So hey there, DCC management: Don’t insult us with your endorsement of healthy body image as a cause you care about; everything you do proclaims the very opposite. 1 36 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104349-current-team-updates-and-social-media/page/11/#findComment-5811406

While I'm all for raising awareness towards how society (via media and other avenues) views the "ideal" woman's body vs. how a woman views her own body and all forms of body image issues that come up (eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and the pressure to be thin (often thinner than is healthy for that specific individual), I just think it's highly ironic that THIS is the cause Victoria chose to champion when she has issues telling the truth about her own weight struggles and their causes (which doesn't seem to reflect the very things she's talking about). HOWEVER, despite my well-known antipathy towards Victoria, I do appreciate that she's bringing attention to the situation and that there's not only the outside pressure to be thin, but that there's often a mental-health aspect to it. On 12/14/2019 at 11:07 AM, Lolfordays said: I am sorry but this is hysterical. Not the cause. But 1) that it would be hers and 2) that an organization with impossible weight standards would even want to touch it with a ten foot pole. They are regularly tell skinny women they are overweight — on national television. The hypocrisy of the situation is stunning. Unless Kelli and Judy and their entire leadership team is ready to STOP telling girls they are too heavy for the uniform (which is already small and just seems to get smaller) and that two girls with VASTLY different body types must weight the same because they're the same height and TRULY focus on nutrition, diet, and fitness as well as making sure the girls are the right weight for their height and body type, then I'm not going to believe the leadership is truly behind the cause. However, I do appreciate that SOMEONE is bringing attention to the cause and possible causes even if I doubt her honesty and actions. I can't even say that her cause is entirely all about her because she probably knows people (and not even the someone on the team) that has had issues with body image and how it relates to the media and/or mental health issues. On 12/14/2019 at 11:22 AM, Jennv said: Interesting choice, to say the least As i stated a couple posts up, I'm not at all surprised that she made it about herself. I am surprised this is it, as anyone who has watched the show, and saw her cut for weight, might read this as a middle finger to the organization. I don't know if it's ENTIRELY about herself, though the fact that her weight and the double standards from last season probably factored into it. However, despite the many "causes" or "explanations" she gives for her OWN weight troubles (none of which seem to be due to her own choices), I do applaud that she chose the cause. On 12/14/2019 at 11:34 AM, Holly85 said: This is her why she chose this cause See above. On 12/14/2019 at 11:49 AM, Jennv said: Yeah, I read it. I doubt she meant to diss Kelli and company, but the DCC sure as heck pushes unrealistic physical standards. One could argue that they are, at least in part, the cause of her negative body image. Kelli told her she was fat on national TV. Then made a big thing about her getting assistance losing weight from a super skinny employee. I don't see Kelli and Co. actually DOING anything about their own expectations for the girls because they don't see anything wrong with how they treat the girls in terms of their weight, health (mental or physical), or anything else. The girls are all interchangeable (except for Victoria) and if one succumbs to an issue just get another one to take her place. If we saw some long-term, realistic and sustainable change from the leadership team about how they push the girls (and, if what we've heard is true, actually pushing them into eating disorders and other unhealthy habits), THEN I'll believe that they actually learned something, but I doubt it. On 12/14/2019 at 11:49 AM, Athoughtfulperso said: I actually think that each of the 37 made it "about them" because each story is based on something close to them. I think helping young women deal with body image is a huge issue. "When a person has negative thoughts and feelings about his or her own body, body dissatisfaction can develop. Body dissatisfaction is an internal process but can be influenced by several external factors. ... One of the most common external contributors to body dissatisfaction is the media, and more recently social media." This is a serious issue. The issue is not "about her" but because of what she experienced. this board is an example of social media and body dissatisfaction. VK is not the only of the 37 whose body has endlessly been commented on in discussions on this and other sites. This is so true about the DCC. I have issues with the concept of a person being on the team from 18 to age 22/23 and having to keep the same weight for 5 years and the same uniform. However a person who joins at 23 and cheers till 26 has a different more mature body and less stress to keep the "same body". I also think they should get a new uniform every year. No, the girls didn't make it about them, they made it about something that impacted someone close to them which is different. Some people would call that semantics, but I don't. Victoria is the ONLY one who chose something that has directly impacted HER. Even Bridget, with the animal cruelty, chose something that impacted another living being who then touched her life. However, I do applaud her for choosing something that impacts SO many people, both men and women, and bring awareness to the harm that it can do to people. Some people may say that this board has had some impact on the health and wellness of these young women, but who has a bigger impact on them? Kelli, Judy, Kitty and the whole leadership team who hold these girls to nearly unrealistic expectations of weight and body image FAR beyond whatever we could do. Kelli's push to make girls at 22/23 stay the same weight they were at 18 is ridiculous. What's also ridiculous is her insistence that girls with vastly different body shapes (which she often talks about in uniform fittings) must be the same weight as other girls on the team who are her height. If even I, who can only fall back on high school and college biology, anatomy/physiology, and nutrition classes from years ago (and Kelli is even further away from those classes then I unless she either self-studies or consults with medical personnel) can see the problems with that while Kelli can't (or won't), then she is willfully blind to the damage she's creating with these girls. On 12/14/2019 at 12:04 PM, Jennv said: Exactly, and while she did take a lot of heat from people over her figure on social media, who caused that? Kelli did. Her mom's supposedly best friend exploited her weight gain for ratings. If they hadn't broadcasted it all over TV, then no one would be talking about it on social media. Hell, they don't just air it on the episode, they repost the clip on Facebook to get people to watch. They want people to talk about it, they encourage it, even. She did take a lot of heat on social media and, no, Kelli did not cause that. Victoria did. Victoria was supposedly groomed for this her entire life, knew the so-called standards she would be held to and ignored them by either stuffing her face or ignoring what the doctors (either medical or nutritionists) told her to do. Even if she claims she didn't like what the thyroid medicine did to her (and yes, she admitted to that), then she should have gone to her primary care doctor (as nutritionists and/or dieticians can't prescribe medicines as far as I know) and gotten a referral to someone who could help her get the right medicine in the right dosage over a period of time. Kelli tried to help her as much as she could, albeit in the wrong way, and tried to support her. However, Kelli is also the one who is the ringleader for the unhealthy, unrealistic standards for weight she imposes on the girls. On 12/14/2019 at 12:28 PM, Erinbridget said: I agree with you 100%.

It's also a lot of hard work to overcome and will likely be with them their entire lives if they have to deal with it. I hope that, if ANY of the girls have such issues, that they go to a reputable, reliable person who can help them work through the root causes, help them get away from some of the pressures that can trigger some of the episodes, and frankly, just get away from the DCC.

VK would never slander the DCC, and it would never get past Kelli if she thought it made the org look bad. I think it was a carefully orchestrated choice. It fits in perfectly with Victoria's triumphant rise-like-a-phoenix redemption story line this year, and it makes the DCC look like they actually care about self body image issues. It's a win/win for everyone. Every season there's always some contrived segment about healthy eating or Cowboy Fit to show how much the DCC org cares about the health and well being of their ladies. I guess we're supposed to forget the countless times Kelli has drilled into our heads how if a TCC doesn't look good in the uniform, that's a reason she won't make the team.

How come no one else is moving up like that? Oh right, she's so freaking amazing and one of the best on the squad! Lol Victoria should have remained in her assigned spot (maybe even moved up a row) and move the veterans around to fill in spots. Instead, she gets not one, but two prime spots because of who she knows, not what she can do. 7 hours ago, KatieC said: Very true. Also most of the others chose causes because of someone they know. Victoria’s cause is because of herself which when I read it came across as selfish. I totally agree. Victoria's cause is the only one that she has personally experienced to some degree while the causes the others have championed happened to others and impacts them second-hand. It can certainly read as selfish, but I do really appreciate her choice and the attention it will bring. This is one time that her notoriety, and the scrutiny she's under, will actually do someone other than herself some good because it will bring attention to a worthwhile cause. It might cause someone to actually admit the truth to themselves and to not only get the help they need, but put the work in to make things better for themselves. 7 hours ago, DAthene said: Oh, get back, Loretta. hypocrisy at its finest. Does she feel the public did that to her last year? Because certainly the organization she has been groomed for her entire life and that is her penultimate dream does not contribute to this problem. Hypocrisy much? Kelli, how in HELL could you have thought this was ok? Princess VK TRULY does what she wants. idiot. See above. 6 hours ago, Pksbena1 said: I am a mom whose daughter struggled through an eating disorder for 4 long years. As much as I love this show, and respect many of the DCC ladies, I ALWAYS cringe when they speak to these girls about their weight. The pressure to stay thin...look perfect...stay young...look beautiful...for life is so hard for these young girls (and women in general)! Back when Chelsea was cut, I was really upset that they had called in these very thin looking girls (at least, to me they were) and said they needed to loose weight. Like someone said above, expecting a girl, from age 18-23, to stay the same weight is just unrealistic because their body is changing from a young lady into a full woman. I mean....poor Megan Sharp. Humiliated on national tv....increasing her short size by two sizes....Meredith Oden.....when she was trying out...the sign on her mirror at home about not overeating....staying thin.....Grace Sells, Elizabeth Reuter (who both worked so hard to loose the weight) yet, are called out on tv where the camera goes right to their mid section! It’s a double edge sword....to be a DCC! If you are privilege to make it...that’s awesome!!! BUT....the pressure to be perfect 100% of the time is why many (I believe) are one and done girls! I didn’t know much about ED’s before going through it with my daughter. She’s 21 now and doing well. However, an ED will stay with you forever. There will always be that ‘pull’ to stay thin. My heart and prayers go out to EVERY girl who has/does struggle with this and for the parents who can do nothing physically to help their child. I would never wish this illness on my worst enemy! To you girls (who struggle with an ED on this forum), I pray you are getting the help you need. Sending love and prayers your way! Keep moving forward! You CAN get past this!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ See above. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/104349-current-team-updates-and-social-media/page/11/#findComment-5811587

I don’t understand why they would think it’s okay to post that shot .. knowing someone messed up that obvious. it’s not good practice to remove a post, then post another as a cover up .

I can't with this about DCC. If you look at a standard growth chart from 2 through 20 years old, girls gain weight until they are 21! at least! and it is normal!!! Ugh. I tell my high school patients this every year--- it is normal for you to weigh more every time I see you... NORMAL!!!!!!!! And then Kelli gets annoyed when someone faints because they didn't eat.
