Pregnant Kim Kardashian ‘Can’t Stop Eating:’ What Drove Her To Ditch Her Diet For Binge-Eating
Aug. 24 2015, Published 6:46 p.m. ET
Kim Kardashian vowed not to gain as much weight during her second pregnancy, and even went as far to hire a professional to monitor her food intake—but now her friends are saying she’s ditched her diet completely and is slated to balloon more than ever before.
“She can’t stop eating,” a friend told Star magazine, adding that at the rate she’s going, the 5’2” starlet could shoot up to 185 lbs.
And while the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star hired a nutritionist to help stick to a nutritional diet while pregnant, her pal said that diet already went out the window.
“Her healthy eating lasted all of two weeks,” the source said. “She simply has no willpower.”

So what happened to the very motivated Kim, who bragged in July that she loved hearing that she was “skinny?” The family source said that her family—from Caitlyn Jenner’s public transition to a woman to Kourtney Kardashian’s breakup with Scott Disick—have taken a toll on her.

“She’s been out of her mind with worry about how the public would react to Caitlyn’s transition and she’s deeply concerned about Kourtney, who is absolutely heartbroken over Scott,” the source said. “It’s all unbelievable stressful for Kim, and she turns to food as a coping mechanism. She pigs out on comfort food all day.”
And while Kanye West is busy on tour and happily supporting his wife, who is just over five months pregnant with a baby boy, Kris Jenner doesn’t see the weight gain as negative.
“Kris knows that the bigger Kim gets, the more publicity she’ll garner. Kris only thinks with dollar signs in her eyes,” the friend said.
