Kim Kardashian<\/b><\/a> has changed quite a bit since her family\u2019s former reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians<\/i><\/a> first began in 2007, with her weight fluctuating throughout her time in the public eye.<\/p>\n The SKIMS founder spoke in a June 21, 2022, interview on the TODAY <\/i>show about her major weight loss ahead of the 2022 Met Gala<\/a>, when she shed 16 pounds in three weeks<\/a> to fit into Marilyn Monroe\u2019s iconic dress.<\/p>\n \u201cI looked at it like a role and I really wanted to wear this dress,\u201d Kim told TODAY<\/i> co-anchors Savannah Guthrie<\/b> and Hoda Kotb<\/b>. \u201cIt was really important to me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n For the prestigious evening, Kim wore the very Jean Louis gown that the late Hollywood icon wore in 1962 when she sang \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to then-President John F. Kennedy. Kim attended the event with ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson<\/b><\/a>, who wore a simple black tux.<\/p>\n Later in the interview, the reality TV star went on to explain that since the event<\/a> she has maintained her slimmed figure and has lost even more weight.<\/p>\n \u201cSince then, afterwards, I continued to eat really healthy,\u201d the mom of four said. \u201cI\u2019m down 21 pounds now. I\u2019m not trying to lose any more weight, but I have more energy than ever. I cut out so much sugar \u2014 a lot of junk food I was eating, I didn\u2019t realize, like a lot of fried foods. And I just completely changed my lifestyle.\u201d Kim credits the drastic change for teaching her \u201ca lot about [her] lifestyle and [her] mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n Although the Kardashians<\/i><\/a> star is proud of her transformation, some of her fans were not so pleased with the move. After news of her rapid weight loss broke, Kim received backlash<\/a> for dropping so much weight in such a short period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
