14 DAY TRIAL // With friends family like these, who needs enemies? Rob Kardashian skipped Kim Kardashian’s Italian wedding to Kanye West because he was told (either by sister Kim or mother Kris) that his being overweight would “ruin” the wedding pictures, so he decided to pack up and leave before the ceremony.
Rob has never made a secret of how insecure his weight made him feel but, in recent months, as the pounds continued to pile, he became even more withdrawn, to the point where he’s not making any kinds of appearances anymore and he’s only very rarely spotted by the paparazzi.
When he agreed to attend the wedding, he knew that there would be a lot of paparazzi and on-hire photographers, just as he knew his weight would be brought up in discussions. He probably expected his family wouldn’t do it.
When they did, Rob didn’t even wait for the weekend celebrations in Paris to be over, let alone fly to Italy with the rest of the guests for the wedding ceremony and reception. He went straight to Los Angeles where, celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson tells TMZ, he contacted him in view of drawing up a plan that would help him bounce back to shape.
This isn’t Rob’s first attempt but, Peterson explains, this time he’s “determined” to get healthy (and thin) after the “wedding fat shame.” He’s also feeling guilty for not doing his part before the wedding, skipping workout sessions and indulging in fast food.
He’s already promised he’ll be at the gym every day and that he’ll do whatever is asked of him to shed the extra weight.
“Gunnar says Rob's text was clear as crystal – he wanted to hit the ground running... literally... posting up workouts every day this week, and continuing the intensity until the fat is gone,” TMZ reports. “Gunnar tells us he will show Rob no mercy – he'll endure a full hour of high-intensity full body exercises, cardio, resistance training, the whole hog – daily.”
Peterson also worked with Rob’s sisters, Kim and Khloe, helping them to shed excess weight and, at the same time, maintain their trademark curvy posteriors. He’s famous (and such a hit with celebrities) for a very good reason: he delivers on the weight loss promises he makes.
So, if he’s saying he can get Rob back in shape, he’s probably the best person to motivate him to want to work hard enough to get his old body back. We’ll probably see results in a few months’ time.
