Rob: ‘HYPNOSIS IS HIS ONLY CHANCE’

Kim’s little brother desperatel­y needs to lose weight

-

Barely-seen Kardashian son Rob has faced his fair share of drama this year, but it is his weight that has friends and family most concerned. Rob suffers from type 2 diabetes and doctors are very concerned that if his weight remains unchecked, it could lead to dangerous complicati­ons and even heart failure.

We’re told his medical team are running out of options, and as a last resort, have suggested he try hypnosis. “Rob was initially reluctant, but now that they’re saying it’s a matter of life or death, he’s going to give it a shot,” an insider close to the reality star says. “He likes the idea that he doesn’t have to actually do anything but lie there.”

According to our source, it’s sister Kim who managed to convince Rob to try hypnosis. “She’s used it many times and is a big believer in it. Kim has promised to go with him to his appointmen­ts. She wants to give him all the support he needs. She’s truly scared for his life.”

It’s believed Rob – who’s dad to oneyear-old Dream – needs to lose more than 10st to get into a healthy weight range, but his lifestyle means he’s struggling. “Rob has no real life. He basically stays in his house all day eating junk food and playing video games, and he never works out. It’s like he’s got a death wish.”

The insider continues, “There’s no doubt that Rob’s very depressed right now and that’s why he’s treating himself so badly. His family are grateful that he’s at least agreed to do this. Helping Rob get his life back on track is a big family priority for next year, and Kris and Kim are both determined that it’s going to happen.”■
