Cheryl Cole on eating spree to combat loneliness

Cheryl Cole has always been open about her affinity for sweet stuffs having admitted in the past her “four o’clock chocolate fix”. However, trying to deal with loneliness in Los Angeles as well as efforts to end smoking has resulted in Cole gorging on junk comfort foods.

A source reveals that “Cheryl used to smoke when she was stressed,” adding that she however has “been trying to quit, so she’s been eating instead.”

The source adds that “as well as ordering rubbish late into the night, she’s also loving Subway sandwiches, which Derek Hough introduced to her last year. Normally she’s very health conscious, but after a tough day she hits the bad stuff. She knows she’s gone up from a size 6 to 8 and put on 5lb but she’s so stressed she has to eat.”
