Reality star Kim Kardashian opened up about her well-publicised baby weight in a recent interview with Elle UK.
Kardashian's hourglass figure gained a rumoured 70 pounds during her pregnancy with daughter North, and the socialite said it may have been a punishment for vanity.
"I'd think God was doing this for a reason," she admitted. "He was saying: 'Kim, you think you're so hot, but look what I can do to you.'"
The weight gain and cruel comments online became so difficult for the wife and mother that she was determined never to go through it again.
"My body just went crazy," she said. "After five months I swore I'd never get pregnant again. I got so huge and it felt like someone had taken over my body."
Now, Kardashian says, she is confident about her body and cannot wait to have more children with rapper-producer husband Kanye West.
"I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straight away," she gushed. "I loved being part of a huge family -- and I want that for North. We'd do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally."
The 34-year-old considered freezing her eggs before she got pregnant after being told that she was infertile.
"A few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant," Kardashian revealed. "Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen. I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North."
The star's interview appears in the "Confidence Issue" of the top magazine, and she explained that her self-esteem did not grow overnight.
"It's taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today," she admitted. "I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford's. No one looked like me. It's good to break the mould and recreate one.
"I'm an Armenian girl, I have shape, and it turned out people liked that," she continued.
"That makes me feel good about myself and about other women for being so supportive. I am a confident woman, but I didn't just arrive confident – it has built over the years and that is a big part of who I am now."
