Is Nicole Richie Too Thin?

There is a great debate going on in Hollywood and everywhere
else U.S.A. Celebrities are being scrutinized more than ever.
Make that female celebrities:) And in this ever growing fish
bowl is the new celebrity target – Nicole Richie.

In every celebrity magazine, every week, is a picture of Richie
- looking quite thin – and bouncing about town in a new designer
outfit and handbag that seems to be a bit bigger than she is:)

It was even rumored that her dramatic weight loss and refusal to
get help for it was the source of the tragic:) break-up between
her and her longtime friend Paris HIlton.

But to be fair – Nicole Richie has seriously transformed
her life. She is the adopted daughter of a very public and
tumultuous divorced couple – Lionel and Brenda Richie.
Probably the initial source of many of her emotional troubles.

She battled her way back from a very tough alcohol and drug
addiction through rehab and lots of family and individual
therapy.

She landed a great reality television gig as Paris Hilton’s
partner in crime on The Simple Life, and now she is
getting married to fiance DJ AM. And appears to be very
happy in that relationship.

Okay that sounds great – but isn’t she just too skinny?

While it is true that Nicole Richie looked unhealthy
early on in The Simple Life and in other celebrity
pictures around that time – I wouldn’t necessarily have called
her chubby. Instead I would say, she looked bloated. Unhealthy
from all of the poisons she was ingesting, Richie has said in
the past (such as on the Oprah show) that she had been on an
escalating path of alcohol and drug abuse since the age of 13.

When coming clean – it is very possible that Richie began an
extremely disciplined exercise and diet regime to reclaim her
health and control her life. And then went – overboard.

Many times people who suffer from an addiction of some kind -
alcohol, drugs, overeating, gambling etc., will substitute that
vice for another intense activity, addiction, or obsession. That
is why it is not recommended for people who are in a 12-step
program to begin dating each other. Instead of dealing with
themselves, they just substitute the energy spent on getting
drunk or high on the new relationship. And the relationship
becomes too intense, too fast, and fizzles out quickly because
there was no real foundation.

Nicole Richie may have simply substituted years of
addiction with the compulsion to control her life and feelings
in other ways, and controlling her intake of food is one way she
may have chosen to control her life. Of course this behavior can
easily manifest itself into a full-blown eating disorder,
because it is based on the principle of “control” where these
disorders usually begin.

The Bottom Line?

Well, the bottom line is that although she may have her reasons
- Nicole Richie is way too thin – too skinny – much too
petite. Hopefully, in spite of all the media attention to her
weight – she will get the “real” kind of help and attention she
needs from her friends and family, as well as direction from a
mental health professional who can help her redirect her energy
into more positive avenues.

Good luck Nicole
