Kim Kardashian seems quite comfortable with her life situation and proudly showed off her curves in a Dolce & Gabbana white lace dress on Jay Leno.
During her appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” Kim shared that she is “50 pounds down” thanks to exercise and the Atkins diet, but the criticism she faced over her pregnancy weight gain “really did affect” her.
“It really hurt my soul,” she said. “It changed how I am in the public a little bit…There were these stories where I was, like, 200 pounds. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant and it was really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things. And I think people sometimes question, they think I’m out ‘in hiding’ now. No, I just wanted to kinda adjust my life a little bit because why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? I just didn’t need that energy, I’d rather be in a happy place at home…I’ve definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that, because they were so nasty. Why even go out as much just to put yourself in that position?”

Kim explained the story behind her famous Instagram selfie, saying, “I was trying on a bathing suit and I actually just sent that to my boyfriend and I was like, ‘Babe, can I post this up? This is like my big middle finger to the world on everyone that called me fat.'” Kanye approved, and just four days later, they were engaged.
Speaking about the engagement ring, Kim gushed, “He did really good…the best ever. I mean, I know he has good taste, but this is more than I could ever have expected.” Kanye sourced the 15-carat diamond from jeweler Lorraine Schwartz and put a lot of thought into it. “He took so much time and thought put into this and made sure that it was perfect.”

Regarding their wedding plans, Kim mentioned they are “hoping for next summer” but haven’t had the time to discuss details yet. She’s considering a destination wedding, possibly in Paris or Italy. “Maybe I’ll pick the place and then he can plan it.”

Kim confirmed that her stepdad, Bruce Jenner, who is currently separated from her mom, Kris Jenner, will walk her down the aisle.
As for her name after marriage, she plans to have “Kardashian as my middle name and then West…My daughter has the last name West and we’re a family so I want [my last name] to definitely be West.”
