Whatever size you want to call her, Khloe Kardashian is great.
She struggles with two things most of us can relate to: weight loss and self love.
Kardashian covers the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar, a strategic move that is not lost on her.
“I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I’ve lost weight,” Kardashian told the magazine.
“Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney and Kim, but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn’t even that crazy big!”
Kardashian has worked with her personal stylist, Monica Rose, for as long as she can remember.
And she’ll continue to do so as long as there is a breath of air in her bootcamp-loving lungs.
“At my fattest, Monica would always come with racks of clothes and make me feel special. She never told me, ‘Oh, they don’t have that in your size’,” Kardashian revealed.
“Other people actually said, ‘I just can’t work with you’ — because I was too big.
“That always hurt my feelings, of course.”
These days, those same stylists want nothing more than to dress the youngest Kardashian lady.
“I’m just like, ‘Fuck you. I’m not going to reward your bad behavior."”
Kardashian never set out to lose the forty pounds she shed over the course of a few years, but the demise of her marriage to Lamar Odom prompted Kardashian to seek refuge at the Woodland Hills Equinox.
“My home [with Odom] was dark and toxic,” she said
“At the time, my family didn’t know what I was going through. It was the biggest secret I’ve kept. I just needed a place to go.
“They had a TV and I could watch The Real Housewives on an elliptical,” she said with a laugh.
“No one talked to me. I loved that solitude.”
Kardashian noticed that weight began to melt off, so she hired celebrity personal trainer Gunnar Peterson and focused on health, which was the inspiration for her self-help book, Strong Looks Better Naked.
“I never thought about the number,” she revealed. “When I started seeing that I could lose weight—because I just thought my body would never change—I started taking it more seriously and eating better.”
Kardashian shares her fitness routines on Snapchat and Instagram, and often works out with her oldest sister, Kourtney.
“I love that we can work out together. Because Kim sort of prances and is super cute and gorge, while Kourtney and I are dripping wet,” she joked (not really. Their sessions look intense).
“I’m a beast at the gym. I’m super competitive and I’m a sweater. I’m like, ‘Don’t fuck with me and don’t mess up my routine,"” she said.
We’ll have what she’s having.
