Khloe Kardashian Shares Super-Skinny Pic, ‘People Love To Call Me The Fat One’

My usual disclaimer when writing about the Kardashian women: I’m not a fan, don’t watch the show, and their style def isn’t my style. However, they’re still human beings.

I feel a special kinship with Khloe. Like her, I’m an average woman with a stable full of stunning sisters. When Khloe and her husband (ex?) moved to Dallas so that he could play for the Dallas Mavericks, I heard this on Jack FM, one of our radio stations:

Dear Mark Cuban,

If you had to buy us a Kardashian, did you have to buy the one who looks like Chewbacca?

Cruel. Unnecessary. But as most people say, these people put themselves out there publicly, so they should expect to hear negative things. But Khloe’s been working out and has gained a whole new perspective. From her Instagram:

Looking back at pictures of myself I didn’t realize at the time how unhealthy my lifestyle actually was. People love to call me the fat one but as weird as it sounds I still don’t think I would consider myself fat back then. Definitely overweight and unhealthy, yes. About two years ago I decided to turn to fitness as a form of therapy and as a stress reliever. I started slow and eventually I started working out 4 to 5 days a week. We all have to start somewhere and doing something is better than nothing at all. Start small so you don’t get discouraged and give up. Remember it is all about consistency. There are no quick fixes if you want long-term results. Working out is a huge part of my life now. I genuinely enjoy sweating out my frustrations and living a healthier life. My workouts are not all about vanity. They are about clarity for my mind and soul. We all have different journeys in life, make sure your journey is for you and you alone. Remember in the end the turtle won the race. Slow and steady. dedication and tenacity.

Her openness and honesty are heartwarming. She added this in another photo caption:

My fitness journey will be a life long journey. Fitness is not about being better than someone else? It’s about being better than you used to be. I’m not where I want to be and who knows if I ever will be. But I am healthier than ever and due to my consistent workouts, I am slowly seeing results. Hi baby abs !! I see you!!! I hope to meet your other ab friends soon. (yes I’m talking to my muscles. I’ve never met most of them before)
