Khloe Kardashian on her weight: ‘I’m happy with myself if I’m a little heavier’

Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian appears in the February issue of Glamour (the one with Zooey Deschanel on the cover) to promote the Kardashian’s Khroma cosmetics line, I think. At least, she’s talking about makeup, but she doesn’t really go into specifics of the line, which had a limited launch for the holidays and is soon preparing to take over a CVS counter (and a Sears one, of course) near you. I’m not much of a makeup girl, so I probably won’t check this line out because most of my stuff is of the, uh, Revlon and Maybelline variety. Honestly, I’m such a gym rat that the expensive stuff would go to waste in my house, so give me some waterproof eyeliner and a little bit of lip color, and I’m good to go. For those who prefer a more polished look, the Khroma line may be worth checking out. Interestingly enough, Khloe comes out as very anti-fake eyelashes in this piece, which is a amusing because Kim always seems to be wearing spiders on her face. Here are some excerpts:

How her style differs from Kim & Kourtney: “I’m a little more silly than they are. I like to do designs on the side of my face, or cut out foil stickers from the crafts store and put them on my forehead. I had always been a nude-lipstick girl, but Kourtney does a pop of color on her lips. I tried it and loved it. You can wear less on your eyes and still look put together.”

On their upcoming cosmetics line: “There are always five glosses, lipsticks, and liners rolling around in my purse. So I said, ‘God, can we do something to condense it all?’ And I don’t wear false lashes, so I’m a stickler for mascara. We have four different mascaras coming out as part of the line.”

She likes Lamar’s style: “I love his New York vibe. Kim doesn’t like the jeans-and-T-shirts look. Who cares? He’s a guy! But he’s religious about his grooming. I was surprised.”

How she makes her marriage work: “I’ll be so busy, but I’ll make his favorite meal. Those little things, he appreciates them so much.”

She’s done with diets: “A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I’m happy with myself if I’m a little heavier. I realized: Why am I trying to conform to someone else’s idea of beauty? I think I’m beautiful either way.”

I’ve always felt bad for Khloe, who seems to be everyone’s favorite Kardashian (that is, if one has to pick one), because she’s so much taller than her sisters, so no matter what her weight is, she’ll always seem a lot bigger in comparison. She really does receive an unfair share of criticism in comparison to her sisters, who go to great lengths to remain thin; Kourtney seemingly bounced back to her former shape very quickly after both pregnancies, and Kim is alreadly working out with fraud trainer Tracy Anderson while pregnant. Khloe seems much more realistic about weight in comparison. I like what she’s saying here about weight and not worrying about being a little bit heavier, but I just hope she truly is happy herself. It’s so hard to deal with weight issues no matter what, but the scrutiny of her critics is something that I wouldn’t want to deal with ever.

Here are some photos of Khloe with Kris Jenner at Saturday night’s LA Clippers vs. Washington Wizards game. I’d be so embarrassed to hang with Kris in public, but I guess you can’t pick your mom.

    Kris Jenner has the biggest bitch face. Look how she looks at that girl with her side eye.

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

      It looks as if she is thinking “if you were MY daughter you’d have had your skin bleached, a nose job and a tummy tuck by the age of 10… “

  2. lucy2 says:

    I’d like to believe her, but in a few weeks or whatever we’ll see some magazine cover with her proclaiming she lost 15 lbs or something. Gotta keep the publicity and money rolling in – I wouldn’t want to have to face Angry Kris up there.

    • karma kandi says:

      Exactly. They always say this prior to major weight loss then announce how unhappy they were heavier

    • Lilalis says:

      ITA. Whatever brings publicity.
      “Khloe done dieting, is totally happy with her body!”
      “Khloe lost 15 lbs in 7 weeks, says I feel so much better now!”

      Meh…

      • Carolyn says:

        Absolutely. Whenever I see those quotes when they’re heavy v thin I think “oh countdown 3,2,1 to the totally opposite”. Do stars & their PR teams think we’re stupid???

        If celebs are so happy being big (by celeb standards) why do they bother losing weight at all?

    • crtb says:

      OMG – this is exactly what I was thinking. yadda yadda yadda. That is what all of them say, then in a couple of months after they have lost the weight, they talk about how much better they feel.

      • pamspam says:

        I know. Instead of proclaiming yourself blissfully happy when heavier, maybe just say “I’ve accepted that my weight fluctuates, and I’m happy with myself either way” sort of the Kelly Clarkson approach?

  3. Jayna says:

    I love Khloe. I saw her and thought she had put awful cheek fillers in and then realized in the interview I saw she had just gained weight.

    I saw Kim and Kourtnet in an interview. Kourtney sitting next to Kim, the differene with Kourtney’s natural face compared to Kim’s
    phony face with overuse of Botox and filled with filler was shocking.

  4. Mew says:

    She’s actually a human being unlike other Kardassian bots. She’s likeable and real, keep it up Khloe!

    • Nina W says:

      I hope you mean likable and fake because they are all fake. There is nothing “real” about these people except their over-whelming ambition otherwise everything is faked for the camera. Though I do agree Khloe is the most likable of the flakes, I mean fakes.

  5. Zorbitor says:

    All hail Lord Disick!

  6. lettylynton says:

    I wonder what her height and weight really are? I never thought she really looked that big; I’d love to see her in person to gauge this. I’d actually like to see them all in person to see if Kim and Kourtney are really as ‘tiny’ as they say they are.

    • Shelly says:

      I saw Khloe in person last year. I stood right next to her. She is very tall and very thin, and I am 5’9″ and normal-weight, and she was way taller than me with her heels on. I was surprised at how thin, because she looks heavier in photos. Even the curvy Kardashian butt didn’t appear so curvy in person. No way did she wear more than a size 8, maybe even a 6. She was also very pretty.

      • Joanna says:

        Yeah, I’ve never thought that she was fat. It’s just that we as a society are so used to seeing extremely petite and thin women in print, that an average sized person looks bigger in comparison. Take for exampe, Susan Lucci. She is tiny and she is the size of most Hollywood stars. so of course, someone like Khloe is going to look bigger by comparison.

  7. Nev says:

    gorgeous!!!

    • Becks says:

      I have seen Khloe. I actually was stdnding next to her at Bottega Louie. We were both wearing very high heels, and she wasn’t that much taller than me. I would say she is about 5’8 or 5’9. (I’m 5’7). She looked like a size 8. She’s not big at all. I think the camera andthe way she dresses make her look bigger. She’s very very pretty, but she had way too much makeup on!

  8. dagdag says:

    Yes, a real classy woman. Well educated, elegant, sophicated speech. And never vulgar.

  9. Beatriz says:

    I loathe the Kardashians, but always feel bad for Khloé when they scrutinize her for her weight. I have a sibling who suffers from anorexia and it all started with a comment made from our mother. So I really can’t imagine how it would feel hearing stuff like that from thousands of other people. The worst part is that Khloe is actually thin, no? She’s just very tall.

  10. I.want.shoes says:

    She isn’t that big. She put up some of her clothes for auction and most were size M. She also wears designers jeans that don’t come in sizes larger than a 10.

  11. mar says:

    I really can not stand these people, but Khloe does not bother me for some reason

  12. Jennifer12 says:

    I like her attitude and she’s right that people criticize no matter what. And she’s not a big girl at all.

  13. The Original Mia says:

    I like Khloe & wish her all the best. She shouldn’t have to conform to anyone else’s ideal. She’s a beautiful woman in her own right.

  14. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    I kind of liked her…until X Factor hosting duties came into her life. Poor thing, it was like watching a bunny get slowly rolled over by a car.

  15. orion70 says:

    On a side note to this, I was watching some interview yesterday with Kim and she was going on and on about her fertility issues and how Khloe has been open about them but she hasn’t etc. Really seemed off-putting to me, that she was sitting there pregnant and fertility-jacking her sister.

  16. missiecoco says:

    to the tune of Pink Floyd The Wall:
    hey, Khloe. Leave your lips alone.
