okay so im not an allstar cheerleader in the states but this forum seemed like the best place for me to get answers so here it goes...
i have recently made a coed team and i have been flying alot. however it has been really hard because some of the bases have been telling me and another girl that we need to loose weight. i am 5'5ish and i weigh 110ish (i kind of have a maddie gardner build) and the other girl is maybe 5'3 but she is a tumbler and she has a really athletic build. at first it started off as not a big deal but now they are bringing it up alllll the time. one guy even wrote on my facebook wall saying "hope you and your friend are eating healthier and in smaller portions" and more. while we both do eat lots of junk food, we definitely burn it all off and we have tried to stop as much as possible (no more fast food ) we dont know what else there is to do! we workout constantly, and if we eat any less we wont survive! they are putting so much pressure on us, comparing us to these other TINY flyers who are around 5 feet tall and weigh like 80 lbs. ofcourse we feel bad for our bases but the coach put us as flyers, its not our fault! and we cant really confront them as they are alot older and more experienced then us (the team consists of 15-late 20 year olds) we are both in high school and the guy bringing it up is around 23ish i think. any advice on what we should do?
