Kim K made her first post-baby visit onThe Tonight Show With Jay Leno Wednesday.
She touched on a number of topics including pregnancy weight, wedding planning and the now infamous white bathing suit selfie.
Kim, who revealed to Jay that she is “50 pounds down” with the help of exercise and the Atkins diet, explained that all of the criticism directed at her weight while she was pregnant “really did affect” her.
“It really hurt my soul,” she said. “It changed how I am in the public a little bit…There were these stories where I was, like, 200 pounds. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant and it was really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things. And I think people sometimes question, they think I’m out ‘in hiding’ now.
“No, I just wanted to kinda adjust my life a little bit because why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? I just didn’t need that energy, I’d rather be in a happy place at home…I’ve definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that, because they were so nasty. Why even go out as much just to put yourself in that position?”
Talking about how that famous Instagram selfie came to be, she revealed, “”I was trying on a bathing suit and I actually just sent that to my boyfriend and I was like, “Babe, can I post this up? This is like my big middle finger to the world on everyone that called me fat.'”
I suppose that bathing suit did the job because 4 days later, she had a ring on it.
“He did really good…the best ever,” Kim said about her ring. “I mean, I know he has good taste, but this is more than I could ever have expected.”
As for the wedding plans, Kim says her and Kanye are “hoping for next summer.”
“I don’t think we’ve even had the right time to sit down and talk about it,” she said. “I think I’m enjoying just being engaged and I think we’re gonna get through his tour and then really talk about when and where and all that.”
And when asked if stepdad Bruce Jenner, who’s currently separated from her mom, Kris Jenner, will walk her down the aisle, Kim said “of course.”
I like Kim. Good for her. Now if only she keep control Kanye’s mouth.
