While each member of the Kardashian-Jenner family is loved for different reasons, Kourtney Kardashian became much loved for both her natural lifestyle and looks, often being branded as the 'natural beauty' of the family.
Throughout the seasons, fans have had a sneak peek into her lifestyle choices, including her diet of organic, fresh and vegan food, alongside choices that she makes for her own self-care. However, being such a big star in the public eye doesn't come without judgment, with many stars being heavily judged on their appearance. Despite this, it seems as though Kourtney has been feeling very positive about her own perception of herself.
Kourtney Has Struggled In The Past With Comments About Her Body
Anyone who's watched the Kardashians on reality TV likely knows that Kourtney is a huge fan of vegan and organic food, and even encourages her children to eat the same healthy diet that she follows.
She has also previously expressed her interest in the keto diet in 2018, even trying it out herself.
However, despite always looking what most would consider 'picture perfect', the star has shared that she has still struggled at times with comments from others about her appearance.
One example of this is in 2020, when a fan commented on one of her posts, where she was pictured lounging in a bikini, stating that the star was pregnant.
Kourtney quickly responded to the false claim, stating: “This is me when I have a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it. I have given birth three amazing times and this is the shape of my body.”
These sentiments were reflected in a recent episode of The Kardashians, when the star inferred that it can be tough seeing so many comments on her social media about her weight. She has also admitted that she has previously become 'focused on the numbers on the scale'.
Such statements suggest that the reality TV star may feel self-conscious at times due to such comments, affecting the way that she feels about her body image.
However, she also stated that since being with Travis, he has made her 'so into' her new body, indicating that she may actually now be feeling more comfortable in her own body and her own skin compared to when she wasn't with the Blink-182 drummer.
Kourtney Much Prefers Her Body Now Because When She Was Skinny, She Was Unhappy
Despite not feeling as positive about her body image in the past, it would appear that Kourtney is much more at peace in her own skin now.
In the same episode of The Kardashians, she reflected upon her previous weight in a confessional, confessing that she was only ever skinny when she was 'unhappy'.
"I'm so into my thicker body. When I was super skinny, it's like a time when I was super anxious. Not about eating. Not about staying at a certain weight. But, like, just in toxic relationships. I used to always say this: When I'm super skinny, just know I'm not happy."
Kourtney Loves Her Post-IVF (And Post-Baby) Body
Kourtney has expressed that her recent weight gain is down to her IVF journey, which affected her hormones, and thus, triggered her to gain weight.
However, she also stated that she is 'really happy' with the changes, although it 'took a while' to get to that stage: "Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically. I think it's taken me a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes."
Her body-positive mentality has been radiated online to her fans, who have commended her attitude. Fans on Reddit left comments applauding the reality star.
One fan wrote: "Honestly, this is the reason why Kourt is the only KarJenner I follow on IG. She actually makes me feel good about my body because she doesn't Photoshop her pics the way her sisters do. She shows cellulite, hip dips, and body rolls."
Other fans echoed similar sentiments, with another taking Kourtney's comments as truth rather than creative reality TV editing, writing: "That whole scene was so refreshing! I really feel like she was speaking her truth and genuinely loves her curvier body."
So, it seems as though both Kourtney and her fans are feeling positive about her newfound love for her body. On an even better note, it also seems to have encouraged fans of the reality star to feel more positive about their bodies too.
