College cheerleading?
| Wed, 09-08-2004 - 1:12am |
I really want to try out to be a cheerleader for my college. I was a cheerleader for a while in high school. Do you think that trying out for cheerleading will make me feel worse about myself and make me want to lose more weight? I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Hi Reba,
From what you have shared about yourself I think it would probably just trigger you to loose more weight. You see yourself as big when you are really not and my guess is you will see everybody else on the squad as thinner than you, even though they are not, and it might set you off even more. The fact that you are concerned about it says something, too. Cheerleading sounds like fun but I would hate for you to be miserable becuase you *think* everybody else is thinner.

I've pretty much decided not to try out for cheerleading for the reasons that you mentioned. I think that it would be too much stress for me. I'm going to try to find another activity instead.
Love,
