Khloe Kardashian says she never wants to go back to not knowing her “true value” after losing weight...
2018 is shaping up to be a VERY exciting year for Khloe Kardashian, who finally confirmed that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson just before Christmas.
And now the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has opened up about her body image in an emotional Instagram post.
It's no secret that Khloe has worked hard on changing her appearance and leading a healthier lifestyle in recent years, and she explained that while she doesn’t think she was ever overweight, she did consider herself “unhealthy”.
Sharing a side by side picture of herself now compared to herself previously, Khloe wrote on Instagram: “Sometimes it’s hard for me to post these transformation posts only because I can’t imagine my life being this unhealthy again.
“Never would I ever consider myself far, but I would consider myself unhealthy mentally/physically and not knowing my true value. Mind, body and soul.
“For me, my transformation journey started from within. I needed to heal myself from the inside out. Once I started putting myself first, everything started falling into place.
“My life transformed a few years ago when I made the decision to stop existing and start living. I decided I was ready regardless of what anybody else was saying about me. Regardless of the pressures.
“I had to do this on my terms or I knew it wouldn’t last. It’s ok to take the control back. Choose your life. Don’t let anybody else decide for you! We are no victims to life but we can become victims and prisoners to the people that we choose to surround ourselves with if we allow them to break and consume us.”
She went on to advise her followers that they should never be afraid to put themselves first, adding: “I am so proud of myself for being stronger than I’ve ever been - mind, body and soul.
“I am even prouder of myself that I’ve been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle for so many years. I broke that cycle and I’m happier than I’ve ever been!”
We think Khloe looks great, and best of all, we're happy to hear she's feeling it too!
What an inspiration!
