You may recall a couple of weeks ago when Kim Kardashian posted a selfie of herself wearing very little... Well, People magazine can now tell us why the future Mrs West decided to show it to the world.
"I was trying on a bathing suit, and I actually just sent that to my boyfriend, my fiancé, and I was like, 'Babe, can I post this up? This is my big, like, middle finger to the world on everyone that called me fat,'" she says.
During her pregnancy Kim faced constant criticism about her appearance and she admits that it got to her. "It really hurt my soul. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant, and it was just really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things … Why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? … I've definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that."
Her pregnancy was not a fun ride, but she knows it was all worth it in the end. "I always envisioned that I would have this easy time just being pregnant, only my belly would get big. And it has just been so not that way for me,” she tells People. “But sometimes, you just have to take life for what it is and enjoy the ride."
