Though her boyfriend Kanye West doesn't seem to care about her weight, Kim Kardashian reportedly wants to get down to 115 pounds before she's willing to step back into the spotlight and be photographed, the Daily Mail reports. Is Is the fame-loving reality star self-conscious now?
During her pregnancy, Kardashian proudly showed off her baby bump in a number of fitted outfits and hit the red carpet plenty of times with West, who didn't seem fazed that she'd gained weight, a natural occurence during pregnancy. However, Kardashian soon became the subject of intense media and tabloid scrutiny.
The 32-year old mama has been tucked away with daughter North "Nori" West in her mom Kris Jenner's home in Calabasas, Calif. with Kanye West, and though the two seem to enjoy parenthood so far, we have yet to get a glimpse of their baby. The new mom has apparently gotten the hang of breastfeeding, which has helped her out on her weight loss journey. But until she reaches her goal of losing yet another 30 post-baby pounds, we won't see Kardashian out and about.
"She's extremely self-conscious about her current body," a source told Us Weekly. "She said when she comes out and gets photographed for the first time, she wants to look hot, hot, hot."
Kardashian is now reportedly obsessed with losing those final 30 pounds before making a public appearance beyond a quick video message for her mom on her talk show "Kris."
"The weight is not coming off as quickly. She plateaued. This is the hard part now," another Kardashian source told Us Weekly, while a friend of West added, "She's always complaining about her size. She says she hates looking this way and won't go out again until she is skinnier."
An intense exercise regime and a strict diet are helping Kardashian shed her baby weight, opting for low-callorie dishes like lemon chicken instead of her boyfriend's favorite fried mac n' cheese, and it may take another month before we get to see the results.
"She thinks it will take her at least another month and a half to get to where she wants to be," a source said to US. "Only when she's there will she start thinking about showing her body to the world."
Either way, we think she looks beautiful as she is, and since weight doesn't always come off quickly for women after pregnancy, we don't think there's any need for her to rush.
