Khloe Kardashian Embraces Her 'Newfound Body Confidence' and Wakes Up 'Happy'

Khloé Kardashian is getting trolled for seemingly losing too much weight but she’s taking it all in stride and is thrilled with the way she’s looking right now – as friends and family members hit her up for advice and applaud her unrivaled dedication.

“Khloé has struggled so long with her weight and with being called the fat one, so to have people saying she’s lost too much weight is a compliment in her eyes, she actually loves it. And she doesn’t believe a word of it, she thinks people are just jealous that she’s got her dream body,” a source exclusively tells Life & Style.

“She has never felt this confident in her skin and it’s allowing her to grow in so many other ways. She’s expanding her business, she’s waking up happy every day, she’s loving her life, and her newfound body confidence is a big part of that,” the insider continues.

“She knows people are accusing her of using drugs to achieve this, but she denies it and says she’s done it slow and steady with clean eating and daily workouts. It’s been years and years now of working with her trainer to the point where she’s absorbed so much. Now her sisters and her friends ask her for advice on getting in shape, it’s the best feeling,” the source says of the Stronger Looks Better Naked author, 40.

Khloé Kardashian and True Thompson

When Khloé posted a bikini photo while posing with daughter True Thompson on April 28, fans were quite divided about her body.

“I liked her better when she was thicker,” one person commented, while a second wrote, “Everyone is so obsessed with being so skinny. It’s not healthy. She looked way better before.”

A third person noted, “People saying she looked better bigger probably commented when she was bigger telling her to get smaller. This app is so strange,” while several users accused Khloé of taking a popular weight loss drug.

“It’s giving OZEMPIC,” a fourth person chimed in, while a fifth told the reality star, “Y’all gotta chill with the Ozempic life.”

However, fans raved over Khloé’s trim and fit body in the comments of a May 28 Instagram post, where the Good American founder wore a figure-hugging beige dress at a party for sister Kylie Jenner‘s Khy fashion brand.

“Arm workout deets,” one person asked, while another fan wrote, “Quietly became the hottest sister”

“DAMNN girl,” a third wrote about how amazing Khloé looked, while a fourth noted, “You look SOOO HOT!! Omg.”

Khloé began her weight loss journey towards dropping 40 pounds following her split from ex-husband Lamar Odom in 2013.

“For me, I was overweight — I was unhealthy — for a lot of my life,” Khloé explained on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast in October 2019. “I started going to the gym during my divorce, like a significant and consistent amount for my mental [health].”

“I needed a release, and I needed to feel strong and I just needed to get rid of all these thoughts. And I wanted to be alone and the only place to really be alone was to be on an elliptical with headphones in my ears and kinda just vibing out,” Khloé said of turning to workouts for peace.

“As a side effect, I started losing weight and I was like, ‘Oh, I kinda like this.’ Then, losing weight just became some sort of competitive weird streak in me that was like, ‘I want to see if I can get arm muscles,’” she continued. “It started as that, but it was never my goal. It was never: ‘I want to look good in a bikini.’ It was never my goal. I just wanted to feel good mentally. And, I think when you start putting yourself first, you start feeling so much better.”
