Richie Blames Stress for Skinny Body

By WENN| Thursday, August 17, 2006

HOLLYWOOD - Nicole Richie blames her skinny body on being over-stressed--a condition which killed her appetite.
The Simple Life star shocked her friends and family when she rapidly shed her curves over recent months, and she insists she has recognized she has a problem and is trying to put on weight.

She says, "I've never been diagnosed with an eating disorder. My weight is a result of stress.

"I didn't lose weight on purpose, I simply wasn't eating enough. But I did realize I had gotten too thin.

"Now I'm doing all I can to get my weight up--and have gained some. I'm seeing a trainer and a nutritionalist and eating healthy."

Very slick Nicole - of course you have never been 'diagnosed' with an eating disorder because you've never consulted a doctor about it because like all ana's you don't believe you have a problem.

What a crock. Stress from doing nothing? I lost weight due to stress, working 10-12 hours per day and studying 2. It actually kills your stomach before killing your appetite. In Richie's case, she killed her appetite and is now killing herself.

I've been there and I can definitely say stress does NOT make you look like Nicole Richie. What's wrong with her admitting to anorexia? It's not like 90% of the starlets don't suffer from an ED or another. Just check into a rehab clinic and quit lying already.

^^If she did that, she wouldn't be able to milk all this attention for every last drop now could she?

you can only be diagnosed with an eating disorder, you dipshit, if you admit that you have one! It is possible to just lose your appetite if you're stressed or depressed, but I dont doubt that she's on drugs anyway, and they kill your appetite too.

even a braindead 100 year-old deaf and blind veteran lying on a hospital bed in coma could easily tell she has anorexia!! who the hell does she think she's kidding

She thinks she's stressed now, wait until her kidneys start to fail and her heart can't keep a regular beat because her body has gone into starvation mode...... THAT's gonna be stressful.....
