In an open discussion on the latest episode of her podcast, "Khloé In Wonder Land", reality TV star Khloé Kardashian shed light on the public's reaction to her dramatic weight-loss.
The 40-year-old fitness enthusiast sat down with influencer Whitney Simmons, sharing her experiences with criticism throughout her transformation journey.
Initially rising to fame on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", Kardashian recalled her transformation from being subjected to public scrutiny based on her appearance to finding herself in the spotlight for her weight loss.
The entrepreneur and mother of two shared: "The bigger I was, I was way more confident. I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you're going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that."

After placing significant emphasis on fitness, Kardashian revealed the pressures she felt to maintain her new shape.
"When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn't for me," she shared.
The reality star admitted: "I can't get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen."
Kardashian reflected on the shifting tides of public attention, noting: "It was also a different type of attention I was now receiving ... Once I got a little older, I was like, 'Wait, this is gross', I hated that, that's why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way."
She added: "I've learned, no matter what, I'm never going to make people happy."
Addressing the harsh labels she faced post-weight loss, Kardashian noted: "When I lost weight, I was 'a traitor to the bigger community'; I'm 'not myself'; I'm 'not funny anymore'."
Despite the judgements, Kardashian said she is determined to remain true to her core self: "I just aesthetically look a little different, or a lot different, whatever you want to say."
Kardashian has always publicly documented her fitness journey, highlighting her rigorous exercise regimen that includes four gym sessions a week and a mix of circuit training, along with personal training sessions.
She was interviewed saying: "I do circuit training with cardio intervals, so I'm always spiking my heart rate up and down ... I mean my weight-loss journey. It took years for me. I've always been chubby - like athletic. I've always played sports. I just was never in shape."
