After being harshly criticized by the media for her recent weight gain, Jessica Simpson has reportedly embarked on a “revenge diet” to show the world that she could, any time she wanted to, get back to the enviable shape she had in “Dukes of Hazzard.” However, one obstacle she needs help to overcome is resisting junk food, for which reason she has hired a “food cop” to keep her in check whenever the craving kicks in, ShowbizSpy is reporting.

According to a source close to Jessica, the singer and actress simply cannot resist high calorie fried food, no matter how determined she might be to shed the extra weight. This is why she has teamed up with her former trainer again, Mike Alexander, who will not only help her in her daily workout, but also keep her away from the junk food she so much loves – up to the point of overeating actually, it has been said.

“She just can’t resist junk food. She literally needs to be watched all the time. Jessica has a problem with binge eating, which is usually triggered by stress. Jessica’s most recent violation was indulging in the terrible trio of chicken wings, nachos, and alcohol at the Great Dane Pub in Madison, Wisconsin.” an unnamed, but reportedly reliable source, reveals for the aforementioned publication.

Whereas the rest of her workout and diet have not yet transpired in the media, word has it that, with the “food cop” taking care of her craving for junk food, she should lose some pounds in almost no time, and thus get back to her former thin self. Nevertheless, this report does come to contradict what Jessica herself repeatedly maintained during the highly-mediated “fat-gate,” namely that body weight did not really matter as long as one was happy, and should definitely not be held as a standard by which people judged one’s value.

Speaking of weight gain, Jessica has also come up with a way of profiting from it, in spite of being criticized for it. The singer will soon be launching a new fashion line especially designed for ladies with a fuller figure such as hers right now. “I know what flatters a woman, and trust me, I’ve been judged a lot in my life. By now I know what works if you’re curvy. If my clothing and accessories make you feel great and let you walk proud and tall – in big, big platform shoes – then I’m happy.” Jessica explained the other day, as she was announcing her upcoming fashion line.
