Star: ‘Snooki is 80 lbs, only consumes lettuce, egg whites, booze and laxatives’

The full story from Star Magazine:
Ever since Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi became a mom last August, she’s been shedding elements of her “Jersey Shore” persona, including her partying habit. But those close to her say that she may have shed a little too much lately: The 4’9″ former “meatball” has lost more than 42 lbs., attributing it to exercise — while friends claim she’s just plain starving herself. “All she eats is lettuce and egg whites,” says a source. “most of her calories come from booze, and she uses laxatives too. It’s scary. She looks emaciated, and everyone is worried sick.”
Snooki has been trying to hide her unhealthy behavior, but at a March 16 event in New York City that she attended with BFF Jenni “JWoww” Farley, her pals saw the evidence firsthand. “We all watched as Snooki refused the bread and then pretended to eat salad,” says an insider. “JWoww said to her, ‘Honey, you need to start eating something; this is ridiculous,’ but Snooki just gave her a blank stare. All she did was drink wine.”
Even Pauly D expressed concern at a recent event in Las Vegas over his former costar’s dramatically thinner figure, which she has been flaunting nonstop on twitter. While on the show, he recalls, “Snooki told us all how she had battled an eating disorder in high school. We knew after that we were never allowed to talk about her weight.”
Snooki’s past struggles with food may be all the more reason to suspect that he’s in trouble, according to New York psychiatrist Dr. Wendy Wolfson, who specializes in eating disorders. “Because she’s admitted to having a disorder when she was young, I’d be concerned by her rapid weight loss,” Dr. Wolfson says. “There’s a high likelihood of relapse under stress, and having a child can cause that kind of stress.”
Weight-loss expert Alicia Hunter agrees. “Snooki looks to weight between 80 lbs. and 84 lbs.,” she says. “Even at her size, this is extremely low. It’s obvious from her pointy chin and jutting collarbone that the last thing she should do is try to lose any more weight!”
