Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Confidence and Body Image Struggles

Khloé Kardashian recently shared her thoughts on confidence during a candid discussion about her weight loss journey, PEOPLE reported. On the March 26 episode of her podcast, "Khloé in Wonder Land," she spoke with guest Remi Bader about her evolving self-image and the challenges she faced after losing weight.

Kardashian, 40, reflected on societal pressure and its impacts. "I tell my friend, who works with me, that we were both bigger. Now, we’re smaller and athletic," she shared. "We often joke about how we felt much more confident when we were fat and chubby."

She added, "Now, in a bathing suit, I’m critical of every little thing I see. It’s nuts." Bader, 30, echoed the sentiment, noting that negative self-assessment is common.

"It’s shocking how harsh we can be with ourselves," Kardashian expressed. "I believe much of it stems from society’s constant scrutiny. Whether you’re thinner and getting criticized for it or shamed when you’re bigger, it’s exhausting." At times, she felt overwhelmed by these pressures.

Kardashian discussed her experiences and realized that her weight loss journey was personal and unique. "I have learned that what works for one person is not a universal solution," she said. Achieving control over her weight came through persistent fitness efforts.

"It’s not as easy as it appears," she admitted. "I’ve devoted about ten years to exercising. It involves many small steps and consistent effort. Many people forget how long that takes."

She emphasized that inner work is just as crucial, stating, "Your brain is a muscle too. You must retrain it to love and accept who you are."

As Kardashian progressed on her fitness journey, she faced criticism on social media. Many commenters stated they preferred her former self. "They said, ‘We liked the fat Khloé,’ as if I’ve disappointed many. Ultimately, I realized it’s about not disappointing myself," she shared, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance.
