Nicole Richie attributes her skeletal status to being stressed out – which she claims killed her appetite. The `Simple Life’ star – whose shocking pictures feature in the latest issue of New Zealand Woman’s Weekly – insists she has recognised she has a problem and is attempting to regain weight. She explains, “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 realise 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.” [22 August 2006]
