In need of some fitness inspo? Khlo Kardashians most inspirational quotes about weight loss and working out prove how hard the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has worked over the years.

The Revenge Body host found solace in fitness amid her divorce from ex-husband Lamar Odom. Khlo split from former NBA player in 2013, but they werent legally divorced until 2016.

For me, I was overweight I was unhealthy for a lot of my life, the Good American founder explained on host Jay Shettys On Purpose podcast in October 2019. I started going to the gym during my divorce, like a significant and consistent amount for my mental [health]. I needed a release and I needed to feel strong and I just needed to get rid of all these thoughts. And, I wanted to be alone and the only place to really be alone was to be on an elliptical with headphones in my ears and kinda just vibing out.

While using the gym as an escape, her body began to transform. As a side effect, I started losing weight and I was like, Oh, I kinda like this. Then, losing weight just became some sort of competitive weird streak in me that was like, I want to see if I can get arm muscles, she explained. It started as that, but it was never my goal. It was never: I want to look good in a bikini. It was never my goal. I just wanted to feel good mentally. And, I think when you start putting yourself first, you start feeling so much better.

The Strong Looks Better Naked author gave birth to her daughter, True Thompson, in April 2018 with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, which gave her a drive to stay fit.

Ive always been good with kids, but she gives you a different kind of patience. And, when you feel like youre exhausted and you cant go on with your day when youre around your own child, you get this surge of energy, KoKo noted about the sweet girl. Youre just like, Oh, Ive got to keep going. You just figure it out. So she just gives me, I think, more of a drive to stay fit and stay healthy because I want to be an active mom with her. I want to be here as long as I can. I would say its a different type of patience, its softer patience.

Khloe Kardashian's Quotes About Weight Loss and Fitness - Life&Style Weekly

Celebrities live under constant public scrutiny and every change in their looks is immediately noticed and cataloged. That means that even the slightest weight gain puts them under fire. Some of them go in the opposite direction, trying to lose some weight. Here are some of their transformation stories.

Rebel Wilson has had enough with her weight. In an Instagram post, she made the following announcement: Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called The Year of Health so I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays Ive just had but Im going to do it! Whos with me in making some positive changes this year? Her plan seems to be working, judging by the recent photos shared by her trainer.

Jillian Michaels was not always the amazingly-looking fitness and health guru we know today. She recently shared a picture of her, captioned: Heres me at 50 tall and 175 lbs. If I can do it anyone can.

The chubby Jonah Hill we know from the start of his career a few years ago is no more. Today, the actor looks much slimmer and he seems to be enjoying his new body.

Adeles look has been a subject of many Internet jokes, almost all of them in bad taste. Still, she also knew that she had to make some changes and she did. Her transformation was inspired by her desire to be the best mom possible. According to the pictures of her from a vacation in Anguilla, she is well on her way of achieving one of the most impressive look changes we have seen.

Christina Aguilera always had trouble keeping her weight under control, even at the beginning of her career. After she gave birth to her son in 2008, things only changed for the worse. However, when she appeared at the American Music Awards in 2013, people were amazed at her appearance. She has finally managed to shed all that baby weight and she looked incredible. She said that the recipe for her weight loss was: Laughter, happiness, breathing and I did some yoga.

The fat kid from Remember the Titans is no more. Instead, we have a chiseled athlete and actor posing in tight t-shirts in the gym. On the photo that shocked his fans, he said: This may be my favorite moment of the year in the gym because its empty. 2020 goal: all the abs. What are yours?

Khloe Kardashian was never the thinnest in her family. She was often criticized for it, having been born in the family of models. Her divorce with Lamar Odom, a basketball player, prompted her to start working out and eating healthier. By 2015, she looked incredible. Her transformation was an inspiration to millions of her fans. She jumped at the opportunity to create a business opportunity by making a show about weight loss, calling it Revenge Body. Her methods did draw some criticism, but the results speak for themselves.

Khloe Kardashian claims she lost an incredible 20lbs in just 20 days, after piling on weight as her marriage to NBA star Lamar Odom started to crumble.

The 27-year-old took refuge in comfort food after Odom, 32, blamed her for the humiliation of being fired by the Dallas Mavericks, a source told Life and Style Weekly.

But ironically, a period of intense training with Odom has brought her both closer to her husband, and to a smaller dress size. Khloe, who is a strapping 5ft 10in to her sister Kims 5ft 2in, posed in an indigo bikini for the publication under the banner: 'How I got thin fast!.

Khloe's dramatic weight loss is credited to eating healthy meals cooked by a personal chef and intense workout sessions with her hubby and a trainer.

Its been reported that the pair are set to take a break from their reality TV career, but as RadarOnline.com first reported, sources close to Lamar think its doubtful he will walk away.

The revenge body may be doing more harm than good. Getty/Alberto E. Rodriguez

Breakups are tough. When we're wronged or feel rejected by an ex, many people may try to improve themselves, while others strive to get their former partner back. Sometimes, they might try to do both at the same time by aiming for a "revenge body."

A "revenge body" refers to when a person loses weight after a breakup as a way to make their ex jealous whether intentionally or not. The term is generally seen as a positive act of self-improvement or a way to "get over" your former significant other.

And while it's been used to describe everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Janet Jackson, most recently Khloe Kardashian has embraced the term. She shed some weight after her split with Lamar Odom and suddenly that's all people could talk about. Kardashian's body and Odom's betrayal were directly linked it even spawned the E! show "Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian."

On the show, people who go through breakups or hardship are challenged to lose weight quickly to enact a sort of "revenge" against the person who had wronged them. People took to it so much that it's been renewed for season two. Kardashian took the term "revenge body" that was being thrown at her by tabloids and branded it to be about empowerment.

Body-positive activists take issue with the term for many reasons, health coach Beth Clayton told INSIDER, including the idea that your body or any physical factors can be altered in such a way to manipulate someone into wanting to be with you again.

"If you are changing your body for someone else, you are the one that loses in the end because you are still letting that person dictate your life and your body and you are doing it for their approval," body positive coach Michelle Elman told INSIDER. "So what happens when you don't get it? Despite the person being it for whatever reason, they remain the focus of your life and it also sends the implicit message that the reason they should've stayed with you is for your appearance, which I believe should never be the sole reason you are with someone."

A "revenge body" instills an idea that the person who left the relationship wouldn't have if the other person had just been smaller or more traditionally "attractive." It makes weight and physical appearance a scapegoat for the problems in a relationship, implying that your fat or larger self was inherently flawed and that weight loss has made you better.

"Whenever we are using our bodies as a currency for love or validation, or to prove our own worth to ourselves, we are playing a game that will never end with our winning," health coach Beth Clayton told INSIDER. "We are making decisions out of fear of not being enough rather than genuine desire to be loving toward our bodies and ourselves."

If you want to get healthy, do it for you.ND300/Shutterstock

Breakups or other traumatic experiences that people emerge from with "revenge bodies" are extremely stressful life events. Stress can make people lose weight in an unhealthy way and even signal the presence of a mental illness. Weight loss is not always a positive thing, and assuming that it is can have dire effects on someone's physical and/or mental health.

Even if you mean it as a compliment, commenting on someone's weight if they have an eating disorder can be a huge trigger. If you praise someone for losing weight but they've lost it because they've been too depressed to eat, that may trigger them to go another day without food in an effort to get even more exterior validation.

Obviously, not all weight loss is bad. Kardashian was public about how she found an escape and a type of therapy in going to the gym and the weight loss started to follow from there. Other people develop better eating habits out of a relationship because they're not cooking for two or they're less busy. But it's important to keep why you're doing it in mind, not just the how.

"I think stereotypically when you are in a relationship you have less time than when you are single so it's understandable to not only have more time for workouts but to use the gym to get out negative feelings around the breakup," Elaman told me. "But to twist that motivation into 'revenge' is what's the problem and to associate working out with simply appearance based results."

If you're looking to get healthier and weight loss happens to be a factor in that, then great! There is nothing saying that can't be a part of your healing after a breakup. But comparing yourself to an ex's new fling or the people on "Revenge Body" (which has been criticized for showing an unrealistic portrayal of weight loss) is not a healthy way to go about it.

And using the term to describe someone else's body can have even worse consequences.

So the next time you feel the need to praise someone on their "revenge body," think twice about using that term. Try a compliment that gives them ownership of their own body like "you look so radiant/happy/strong" instead.

Or better yet, just keep your mouth shut unless they ask for your opinion.
