LOS ANGELES, Oct 30 — It’s no secret that Khloe Kardashian has at times been treated like the black sheep in the Kardashian clan and she’s now opening up about the criticism she faced after “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” premiered.

A lot of the negative comments, Khloe revealed, were focused on her body. “Growing up, I was always chubby. But I was still always in sport. I was still a healthy active kid.”

“I didn’t really realise that I was ‘the fat sister’ if you will until I went on TV and the media started saying that about me,” she told People magazine. “I started saying it before people. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m the fat, funny sister. Who cares?’ I almost let that take ownership of me. [But really] I wasn’t fat. I wasn’t obese. But I would let society make me believe that I was.”

“I knew I didn’t look like my sisters and I didn’t have those shapes, but I didn’t think that was wrong,” she said. “I had parents who were incredibly loving and nurturing and always made me feel beautiful so I never really questioned that.”

These days though, Khloe says her priority is maintaining a healthy lifestyle by eating right and sticking to a regular workout.

“I don’t believe in numbers. I don’t believe in one size fits all. As long as I can lay my head down at night, that’s all that matters. It’s not about fitting someone else’s standards.”
