14 DAY TRIAL // Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to her second child, daughter Penelope, almost two months ago but, unlike when she had Mason, she's in no rush to shed the excess weight. She believes she gained about 45 pounds (20.4 kg) while with child but she's fine with that, she says.
Kourtney and Penelope are featured in the latest issue of Us Magazine. The photo made available in the online edition of the mag confirms what Kourtney says in the interview: Penelope really has the Kardashian eyelashes – and the eyes too, we might as well add.
In the same interview, the reality star talks about her weight gain and whether she's already started to work out and diet to shed the excess pounds.
She hasn't, Kourtney swears, but that's not to say she's not fully aware of the task at hand.
“I gained nearly 45 pounds. I'm 5 feet tall [152 cm], so that's a lot,” she explains.
Though she's “not really” thinking about losing the weight right now, she's already on the right path, having already overhauled her diet to take out all those guilty treats she's been indulging in over the past 9 months.
“While I'm here around the house, I just eat healthy,” she notes.
Fans who never miss an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which centers on Kourtney and her sister and family's life, will know that, right after she gave birth to Mason, she put herself on a strict diet.
It saw her bounce back in shape in an almost record 3 months but, at the same time, it also made her so weak that she passed out.
Later, she admitted that it was rather silly to obsess over losing weight to the extent of putting her health at risk. It looks like she won't be making the same mistake again.
In the same Us interview, Kourtney also gushes a bit about Penelope and the delivery. It was “really easy,” she says – and she even got to assist the doctor in it by pulling the child out.
“I did! She was coming out, and I was thinking, I should pull her. With Mason, I had no idea I was going to do that. This time, I thought, This is what I'm supposed to do,” she says.
