Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Post-Baby Weight Loss

*Kim Kardashian didn’t waste any time losing weight after giving birth to her little one.

She attributes her 43-pound transformation to breast feeding and going on a strict Atkins diet, reports the New York Daily News.

Now that she’s a bride to be (congrats!), Kim is likely to take her diet and exercise routine to another level. The reality show diva told reporters that her goal is to lose 50 pounds, which would put her at the size she was before being pregnant with daughter North West.

“To get back to myself just makes me feel good again,” Kardashian, 33, told People.

She continued, “You want your guy to think you’re really hot.”

And he clearly does (hell, who wouldn’t). The rapper proudly proclaimed he was “heading home” after Kardashian posted that racy swimsuit photo (above) of herself in a tight white one-piece to Instagram.

But the most famous Kardashian sister admitted she wanted to “tune out the media” because of all of the controversy surrounding her body.

“Pregnancy for me was a lot tougher than people saw on my show or from magazines,” she said.

She reportedly endured symptoms of preeclampsia while carrying her now 4-month-old bundle of joy, who was born in June. The baby,  North West, was born a few weeks premature as a result of her complications.

“I always envisioned that I would have this easy time just being pregnant, only my belly would get big,” the reality star previously said on an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

She added, “And it has just been so not that way for me. But sometimes, you just have to take life for what it is and enjoy the ride.”
