Kardashian Talks About The Time She Was Pregnant

Kim further shared that she gained 60 lbs and delivered 6 weeks early. She revealed how she cried every single day over what was happening to her body. This, she said, was majorly because she was compared to what society considered a healthy pregnant body.

She said, “I gained 60 lbs and delivers almost 6 weeks early and I cried every single day over what was happening to my body mainly from the pressures of being constantly compared to what society considered a healthy pregnant person should look like – as well as being compared to Shamu the Whale by the media.”

Kim also revealed how she felt broken after giving birth to her daughter and struggled to leave her house. She continued and wrote, “Looking at all of the photos of myself online and in magazines made me so insecure and I had this fear of wondering if I would ever get my pre baby body back.”

The reality star shared that she was shamed on a weekly basis with cover stories that only made her insecurities worse. She described it as “painful” and that she could not leave the house for months after. The Skims founder shared, “It really broke me.” She revealed how she was able to overcome her insecurities and channel them into moving forward in her career.

Kim shared, “Luckily I was able to take these frustrating, embarrassing feelings and channel it into motivation to get me where I am today, but to say this didn’t take a toll on me mentally would be a lie.” She added that she is sharing all this to hope everyone involved in the business of shaming and bullying someone might reconsider.
