She obviously has a disorder that is causing her not to eat or eat properly, but I don't think that it's anorexia nervosa as is being speculated in the media.
I don't think that she has body image issues, because she's admitted to being too thin, and I have to empathize with her because I went through a similar period in my life a couple of years ago.
I had just gotten a new job, and was so preoccupied with doing the best job possible, that I never found time for eating. I guess you could call it perfectionism to the extreme. Obsessive compulsive disorder of sorts maybe? Not obsessed with the way you look, but other things in life, making eating food not a high enough priority. And when I did eat, it was just "junk", and not enough to put any weight on. By the time two months went by, I had lost 25 pounds off of my already slim frame. I'm 5'11, and had weighed 135 pounds my entire 20's, but dropped all the way down to 110!!! I was skeletal. I could've poked an eye out with my collarbones!
People around me were speculating my weight issues too! Thankfully, I have managed to gain some of it back with the help of a nutritionist, and a therapist who is slowly but surely teaching me how to delegate my duties, and not obsess over the little things.
It's still really hard though, once you lose that amount of weight, to gain it back without eating unhealthy greasy, artery clogging food!!! That is just jeopardizing health in a different manner. Your stomach shrinks so small that you can only ever eat a little bit at a time without feeling sick or full.
All I'm saying is that we should walk a mile in her shoes before we judge.

Well Lionel Richie says she works so hard and her schedule is so busy that she doesnt eat like she should.
I can understand that. I sang in a group and worked full time, and I lost sooo much weight becaused I also worked out and didnt eat enough to keep the weight on me. My Mom started to think I had a problem. I really just needed to make sure I ate three meals a day at least.
So Nichole may not have a disorder, she probably just needs to make sure she doesnt skip any meals.

i think she does have an eating disorder but i don't think she realizes it. she probably doesn't consciously say i'm not going to eat because it'll make me fat, i think she just goes all day without eating and is like oh i forgot to eat today oh well - and in her mind that's not a problem. and since she has been much "thicker" in the past throws the whole "i'm just naturally skinny" excuse out the window.

She didn't look like that before. There is thin, then there is too thin. Nicole is TOO thin, even for her height. She even admitted she was too thin. When your bones start showing & your bathing suit hangs in places it should cling to & the suit isn't too big, there is definitely a problem.

Anyone who's ribs show through their clothing has an eating disorder. She is in denial about it.

Sweetie, she just entered rehab for her eating disorder. Perhaps they should call it "lack of eating" disorder.
