Kim Kardashian ‘eating her feelings’

Kim Kardashian is reportedly "eating her feelings" throughout her first pregnancy.

The reality TV star is rumoured to be up to 65lbs heavier than her pre-pregnancy weight, although she claims to have only gained 20lbs.

Kim insists she is maintaining a nutritious diet, but insiders reveal she is overdoing it with calorie-laden fare.

"She's eating her feelings," an insider told In Touch magazine. "She's hungry all the time and getting bigger and bigger."

Apparently the businesswoman has been struggling with being left alone in Los Angeles while her boyfriend Kanye West has been jetting back and forth on work trips.

At the moment the rapper-and-fashion designer is spending lots of time in Paris.

"She hasn't just gained 20lbs like she claims. She'd already gained 45 to 50 when she still had four months to go!" a close friend continued. "This is a time when she needs Kanye the most, and he's not there."

A friend of Kim's famous family has indicated that as her waistline expands she is worried she will never get her enviable curves back.

Her change in shape stems from eating while alone as well as making plenty of trips to fast food outlets.

"She's lonely and feels fat. She's terrified she'll never get her body back," the pal claimed.

While in Atlanta, she was spotted eating greasy soul food, which was estimated to contain 1,100 calories per dish.

In Beverly Hills she has been frequenting Italian eateries and was seen at the same branch of Il Pastaio twice.

"Kim is over being pregnant and hates her new curves," a source added. "She feels like she can't be herself and wear fabulous clothes and be sexy. Her very identity has been stripped away – and it's driving her insane."
