"My body just went crazy," Kardashian said and added, "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."

"I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford's. No one looked like me," Kardashian shared, "It's good to break the mold and recreate one," she added.

"I'm an Armenian girl, I have a shape, and it turned out people liked that," she continued, "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," Kardashian said.

Finally, Kardashian also recalled that her father, Robert Kardashian Sr. helped her with her self-confidence.
