Nicole Richie: Ready For Baby Weight

Despite eating disorder rumors, and an unusually thin appearance, Nicole Richie says she’s prepared to put on a few extra pounds as she moves along in her pregnancy.

She says that gaining even 50 pounds is worth it, if that means that her baby will be healthy and happy. She’s already 10 pounds closer, as a result of being preggers for the past 4 months.

“It’s what my baby needs and to me, numbers don’t mean anything. If I gain 40 pounds, or 50 pounds, then that’s obviously what my body needs to do. I’m totally okay with that,” she told press.

And the former Simple Life star has no problems putting down some serious food. “I eat all the time. I’m constantly hungry. I’m eating at least every hour. And just like any mother, I want to take the best care of myself, especially while I’m pregnant. I’m definitely eating healthier now.”
