As you’ve probably heard by now, Kim Kardashian posted a nude selfie yesterday.
The image has already racked up 1.3 million likes and created a surprising amount of controversy, as Kim fought back against her haters on social media.
Now, that the dust is settling (You didn’t break the Internet this time. Sorry, Kim!) Mrs. Kardashian-West’s famous body is once again taking a backseat to her troubled personal life, and it looks as though the latter may be taking a toll on the former.
According to Radar Online, Kim has been struggling with her fluctuating weight ever since giving birth to son Saint West in December.
The website claims that much of the problem is the fact that Kim feels “trapped” in her marriage to Kanye West and has been coping with the stress of her home life by binge eating.
“Kim is desperate to lose her baby weight,” says one insider. “The problem is she isn’t doing very well and the weight just isn’t dropping off.
“Kim is not being very strict about her diet. She is kind of pigging out because she is really stressed. Her marriage problems are weighing on her and that is making her not eat as healthy as she should.”
The source adds that the recent nude photo was taken at her skinniest point post-Saint, and she’s since regained a good amount of weight as a result of Kanye’s public meltdown.
“Every time Kanye goes off the rails it makes Kim go crazy too. She doesn’t know how to deal with him so she freaks out,” says the insider.
“Kim frantically works out for two reasons. One – she is trying to get rid of weight because she isn’t eating well. Two – she is hoping that working out will help her get her mind off the outrageous things that Kanye does.”
The source added that Kim would consider divorce, but as a mother of two whose marriage is constantly in the spotlight, she “feels immense pressure to stay with Kanye.”
“The tension in Kim’s life is not helping her lose weight,” says the insider. “And she is totally worried about her marriage ending but doesn’t realize that is affecting her physical appearance.”
