AceShowbiz - Kourtney Kardashian, the reality star and Poosh founder, recently shared a powerful message with her over 223 million followers on Instagram, signaling a call to arms against diet culture. "I've finally reached my goal weight of don't f**king care. My body is the least interesting thing about me," she wrote in her Instagram Story alongside a meme of a woman on a scale.
Since giving birth to her fourth child, Rocky, whom she shares with her husband Travis Barker, Kardashian has been open about the challenges and realities of adjusting to her postpartum body. Just seven months after welcoming Rocky, she offered support and tips to new moms on navigating postpartum changes. "Dear new mommies, Your body is beautiful at all stages," she noted, emphasizing that the pressure to revert to a pre-pregnancy body is unrealistic.
Kardashian has faced the physical and emotional toll of motherhood head-on, sharing that she wasn't ready for a big photoshoot just three months postpartum. "I was 3 months postpartum and not feeling quite ready for a big shoot like this," she explained. Despite these challenges, she adopts a positive mindset, feeling blessed to work alongside her family and bring her baby to work.
This isn't the first time Kardashian has spoken out about body image. Motherhood has influenced her body evolution since she welcomed her first child, Mason, in 2009, followed by Penelope and Reign. Reflecting on her postpartum journey, she admitted to Us Weekly in 2012, "I was working out and not eating enough. I definitely pushed myself too hard."
With age and experience, Kardashian has grown more resilient to external criticisms. Highlighting her self-acceptance during the quarantine period, she stated, "I love my body and I'm proud of my shape... We're all shaped differently and that's my body and I'm proud of it." Her words are a testament to embracing one's natural beauty rather than succumbing to societal pressures.
Venturing into IVF treatments with Barker added another layer to her journey. "Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically," she revealed during season 2 of "The Kardashians". Yet, Kardashian has found a place of comfort and happiness with the changes.
