Comments (3)
Kim Kardashian discussed her recent eventson "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Wednesday to talk about various topics such as wedding planning, her daughter North West, and her recent selfie.
Kim also revealed to Jay that she has lost a whopping 50 pounds with the help of exercise and the Atkins diet, and also explained that while she was pregnant, she received a lot of criticism which “really did affect” her.
The "Keeping up With The Kardashians" star went on to say: “It really hurt my soul. It changed how I am in the public a little bit...There were these stories where I was, like, 200 pounds. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant and it was really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things. And I think people sometimes question, they think I'm out 'in hiding' now. No, I just wanted to kinda adjust my life a little bit because why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? I just didn't need that energy, I'd rather be in a happy place at home...I've definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that, because they were so nasty. Why even go out as much just to put yourself in that position?"

On the subject of her infamous Instagram selfie, she revealed: “I was trying on a bathing suit and I actually just sent that to my boyfriend and I was like, “Babe, can I post this up? This is like my big middle finger to the world on everyone that called me fat.” Her then-boyfriend, famous rapper Kanye West, proposed four days later and they were engaged to be married.
Recently, Jessica Simpson and Tori Spelling have been losing weight as well, albeit one via a better method than the other.
The "Dukes of Hazzard" actress became a spokesperson for Weight Watchers in May 2012 and credits them for preventing her from piling on the pounds during her second pregnancy.
Tori Spelling, however, starved herself after the birth of her fourth child, Finn, last year. She had lied about the way that she lost her weight, instead by saying that she had been on a diet and had been doing exercise.
