Nicole's baby weight drama

Even though everyone seems to think that Nicole Richie is happy to be gaining weight and 'indulging her cravings' in pregnancy, it seems that Richie is less than pleased with all of the weight she has packed on. According to one source, she has hired celebrity personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, to work with her immediately following the birth. A source close to Nicole says:

"Nicole feels huge right now. Her breasts are enormous and she finds it difficult to get comfortable. The change to her body has been drastic and it's been hard for Nicole to accept. She looks in the mirror and doesn't even recognise the person staring back at her."

Apparently, Joel Madden is distressed that Nicole has made plans to lose her baby weight so quickly, urging her to wait until at least March before she starts a diet/exercise regimen. Nicole would like to get start training 2 weeks from the birth.

I haven't read this story anywhere else so I hesitate to accept it as 'truth', however, it surprises me that more stories like this haven't been written up until now considering Nicole has a history of disordered eating (as far as we have been able to tell given her weight fluctuations). As I said in the last post, everyone has written about her so positively especially surrounding food and weight gain, it only makes sense that someone who has (allegedly) been anorexic would be a bit freaked out with the prospect of gaining weight and obsess about losing the weight as well. It will be interesting to see what Nicole does post-birth; if she loses the weight immediately will the media treat her like a hero and a 'yummy mummy' or will she be labeled a selfish, 'bad' mother for caring too much about her appearance?
