Is a broken heart causing Star Jones to pile on the pounds again..?
From The National Enquirer
Friends fear the worst as STAR goes super-nova, packing on the pounds in a face stuffing orgy of 5,000 calories a day following a crushing emotional blow less than a decade after undergoing weight-loss surgery.
The former “View” co-host was devastated after her boyfriend, executive chef Herb Wilson, moved from New York to Las Vegas for work, because she fears it may signal the end of their relationship. Now she’s stunned those close to her by turning to food for comfort…and gaining at least 37 pounds in just a matter of months!
“Star’s turned back to her first love – food – for comfort,” said a friend.
“She knows it’s dangerous, but there are days she’s so sad she snacks on junk food all day.
“Star knows over time she and Herb will see less and less of one another and, besides, there are so many beautiful women in Vegas that eventually he will start to date someone else.
“Star feels it’s inevitable.”
Although she’d been doing well with her diet program, sources say Herb’s departure has sent her into a tailspin and she’s turned to her old favorites to deal with the loneliness.
“She loves the breakfast sandwiches from fast food restaurants, mac and cheese for lunch and sometimes a whole pizza for dinner,” revealed the friend.
“But the worst is at night when she’s home alone. She’ll sit in bed, watching TV, downing a couple of double cheeseburgers and orders of fries.
“She’s past the 5,000 calorie-a-day mark but should be eating less than 2,000.”
Star, who admitted weighing 307 pounds at her heaviest, lost about 160 following her stomach bypass. But now she’s pushing 185, with no end in sight, says the friend. “She understands gaining weight for her is especially dangerous, but that doesn’t make it any easier,” the friend added.
