Khloé Kardashian Decided It’s Never Too Late to Prioritize Health
For years, Khloé Kardashian’s body transformation has been a hot topic of conversation.
Many wondered how she achieved her dramatic weight loss.
Some speculated about the role of weight loss drugs and surgery, but Kardashian emphasizes a decade-long commitment to her well-being remains the true driver behind the transformation.
A Journey Motivated by Heartbreak
While Kardashian says medications like Ozempic were not part of her journey, she acknowledges they exist as tools. “I’m just mad Ozempic wasn’t around ten years ago,” she once confided.
“As long as people feel good about themselves, who am I to judge?” she posited regarding discussions around using these medications. “It really doesn’t matter what people think
“It Was a 10-Year Journey! What Are You Talking About?”
For Kardashian, the journey began during a painful period following her divorce from Lamar Odom in 2013.

" I remember I was going to therapy, and the next thing I knew, something private I told my therapist was on a tabloid,"
she recalled, confiding that she

"And I knew that my therapist disclosed this information to a tabloid because there's no way this could have gotten out there,” she asserted. My weight loss journey started because I was getting a divorced.
I stopped going to therapy and started going to the gym."
“As a byproduct, my body started changing.
I loved the way I felt. I loved testing myself and challenging myself. And I've been doing it for ten-plus years now, and I love it," she

was
"ridiculous."
"When I started losing weight, I got the same thing
I was fat-shamed every day when I was bigger, and then when I lost weight, people were like, 'How dare you, you are so insecure, you're following society.' And I'm like, 'OK, you guys are so confusing!'
I realized you'll never make everyone happy.

I have to do what's best for me."
Since

she would have considered taking weight loss drugs in the past,
her attitude toward weight loss
has evolved.
Now, her emphasis is on encouraging fitness
for self-improvement, not to conform
to societal standards. "I really wanna encourage healthiness and not
about the number on a scale.
No Number on the Scale Is Worth It
I just think people should be active.
I don’t
really care what your size is, you should just be healthy
and stronger for yourself.”
