Throughout the years, Kourtney Kardashian has openly discussed the impact of motherhood on her physical transformation. She expanded her family with her long-term partner, Scott Disick, giving birth to their son Mason in 2009. Subsequently, she welcomed her daughter Penelope in 2012 and her son Reign in 2014.

During this time, Kardashian admitted that she placed excessive pressure on herself to quickly shed her baby weight. In 2012, after the birth of her second child, she confessed to Us Weekly that she had been overexerting herself with workouts and not eating enough. She even acknowledged pushing herself too hard.

Eventually, Kardashian reached a point where she no longer allowed other people’s body comments to affect her mental state. In a 2020 YouTube video, she addressed rumors of her being pregnant with a fourth child, asserting her love and pride for her body. She emphasized that she does not look pregnant and embraced her unique shape. Dealing with negative comments hasn’t always been easy for her, but she remains proud of her body.

In 2021, after finding love with Travis Barker, the couple decided to pursue IVF treatment in order to have a child of their own. Barker, who has children from a previous marriage, also plays a father figure role to his ex-wife’s daughter. Kardashian opened up to her friends during season 2 of The Kardashians in October 2022, explaining the changes her body has undergone due to the hormones administered during eight months of IVF treatment. She expressed that this process has taken a toll on her mentally and physically, but she has finally reached a point of comfort and happiness with these changes.

Following the birth of her first child, Kardashian revealed her changing dietary habits.
She commented to
Natural Health
magazine during that period, “I wasn’t brought up this way – people weren’t as conscious about healthy eating back then. After school, I used to have chips or cookies as snacks, and even as an adult, I had no idea what organic meant. I would just go to the supermarket and purchase the same items my mom did. I never really gave it much thought until I became a parent.”

In 2012, Kardashian shared her unique perspective on food during her second pregnancy. Instead of relying on leftovers, she preferred to keep everything fresh and avoid freezing meat in her household. One of her concerns was the potential growth of bacteria on reheated food. She emphasized the importance of consuming fresh, organic, and healthy ingredients as much as possible.

In 2013, a California resident openly shared her struggles with post-pregnancy weight loss. She confessed that losing weight for the second time was particularly challenging. Frustration would creep in when the pounds remained stubbornly stagnant, leading her to question if her pre-pregnancy body would ever be regained. However, a sense of self-compassion would prevail as she reminded herself that she had just given birth to two beautiful children, and that it was important to take things slow and steady.

The method of intermittent fasting was openly shared by Kardashian on her social media platforms. In her posts, she explained that her approach included refraining from eating for a period of 14 to 16 hours after dinner. Specifically, she avoided consuming any food after 7 p.m. in the evening. As for her breakfast, she would delay it until after her morning workout, which typically took place between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.

In June 2019, Kardashian shared on her platform Poosh that she had achieved her best body ever by following the keto diet for two months. She expressed that the keto diet helped her control sugar cravings, burn fat, and jumpstart her weight loss journey. However, in 2020, she mentioned to Health Magazine that she was open to trying new things. Kardashian revealed that she and her family are currently gluten and dairy-free due to her sensitive skin, as dairy negatively affects it. Although she is not currently following the keto diet, she still appreciates the positive changes it brought to her body.

After having three children, the female entrepreneur revealed that she gained a total of 40 pounds throughout her pregnancies. In a personal essay she wrote for Poosh in May 2020, she admitted that she didn’t engage in intensive workouts during her first pregnancy with Mason and didn’t hire a trainer during that time. Instead, she focused on running, enjoying short runs of two to three miles accompanied by uplifting music in her local area. She also incorporated at-home workouts and uphill walks with the stroller into her fitness routine.

In the year 2022, during the filming of an episode for the famous reality TV show, The Kardashians, the well-known socialite decided to open up about the changes her body has undergone over the years.

She candidly admitted, “I used to be really obsessed with my weight. At one point, I only weighed 95 pounds. Then, my weight gradually shifted to 105 pounds, and that became my new normal. Currently, I weigh 115 pounds.” Reflecting on her journey, she added, “I have grown to embrace my curvier figure. When I stumbled upon old photos of my extremely thin body, I couldn’t help but cringe at the memory.”

It’s refreshing to see someone in the public eye discuss their body evolution in such an authentic manner. Instead of conforming to societal expectations, she has learned to appreciate and love her body, regardless of its size or shape.
