Nicole Richie confronts her weight problem

If you don’t approve of Nicole Richie’s stick-thin frame, you’re not alone. Richie herself is admitting that she has gotten too skinny - even for Hollywood standards.

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Richie confesses, "I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.' I do know that they will, which is another reason I really do need to do something about it. I'm not happy with the way I look right now."

Nicole claims that she is not sure of her exact weight, but says, "I have gained weight since I was my thinnest." She explains her drastic weight loss as a reaction to stress, particularly the stress of her break-up with on-again boyfriend, Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. Richie’s interviewer, Leslie Bennetts says, "She dealt with that by not eating and her weight went down, which she couldn't afford at that point."

Nicole is currently working with a team including a doctor, a psychiatrist, a nutritionist and a trainer to help her to regain some much-needed pounds. Her doctor told Vanity Fair, "If it's not anorexia, she should be able to gain the weight. If it ends up being anorexia, we'll help her with that."
