Khloe Kardashian UnKomfortable in her Own Skin

I know there ARE millions of more important topics to discuss than the Kardashians, but I couldn't help but sympathizing with Klhoe as she broke down in tears on the latest episode "Khloe and Lamar" (I'll admit I watch that show) after being called "fat" by the media and "overweight" by her mother. I feel it's an issue most women can relate to, especially if she has sisters.

In case you think any Kardashian show or spinoff is a total waste of time, here's a quick recap. Khloe received a phone call from her class act mom telling her to stop talking about "eating cookies" to the media because her "size" was bad for the image of the diet pills the three sisters are hawking.

Earlier in the episode, her brother Rob told her tabloids and bloggers were calling her "fat" after her husband, Lamar, was quoted as saying Khloe was "not small." Yes, it was her choice to allow all of this body bashing to go on the show and she's making lots of money, but her feelings being crushed seemed genuine.

The reason I think it's such an important topic is women occasionally compare themselves to other women, their friends or their sisters at all points of their lives. It's surprising how fast their body confidence can change in the matter of hours. For example, my freshman year of college I was 5'7" and I outweighed my high school sister by 25 lbs.

I went to borrow one of her shirts and she said,

"No, don't wear that, you're too big and you'll stretch it out and ruin it."

Honesty between sisters can be brutal. ;) Within a few years she had a growth spurt and we were almost the exact height and weight, but I'm sure many women can relate at some point feeling like the "big girl" or maybe the "runt" of the family. 

Recently, I was going out with a group of girl friends who were shorter than me and petite. We took a few photos and I thought to myself, "Wow..I look huge, like as big as Khloe."

I've read Khloe is 5'9 and about a size 6, but she's called "huge!?" Plus, I'm sure a lot of women might feel "big" having to pose next to Kourtney (5 ft) and Kim (5 2") all the time. What do you think?

Khloe is much closer in size to her younger sisters, ages 13 & 15

So in conclusion, not to sound like self-esteem camp counselor, but I think it's so important to keep everything in perspective when it comes to body issues, especially if you compare yourself to others because it's like comparing apples to pears.

If you're at a happy weight for yourself or even if you're not, there are always going to be women who are shorter, taller, slimmer, more petite or bigger.

And speaking of more important topics, who's excited to see all the Royal Wedding coverage? :)

Cheers to William & Kate!
