Kim Kardashian has been complaining about her body. The 39-year-old reality star and SKIMS founder took to Snapchat recently to get candid about her silhouette, also promoting the 2019-founded SKIMS shapewear brand that's so far proven a giant hit.
Despite showing off her killer body in a bubblegum-pink bikini less than a week ago (and definitely looking in shape), Kim has made headlines for admitting to having gained 18 pounds. The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians star" revealed her weight gain back in November 2019.

Kim's video showed her in a closet and stylishly clad in a tight outfit showing off her fit and curvy body. The KKW Beauty founder was rocking black glossy pants with a sleeveless tan body-shaping suit.
Kim spoke into the camera as she showed off the merch.
“So usually tops like this – especially because I am wearing a bra gives me major bra fat, and this suit doesn’t do that,” the star said.
"This bodysuit doesn't really do that. I am not wearing a different bra than I'd usually wear, to this is very exciting to me. Usually tops like this don't have compression, but this one does," she added.

Kim is candid when it comes to sharing her weight. The star revealed that she weighed 116 pounds back in 2018, although whacking on the 18 pounds Kim claims to have gained, this would put the mother of four at 134 pounds. Still, Kim remains pretty trim, being both a workout queen and having her eye on the calories.
Fans seeing the video over on Kim's Snapchat will likely have drawn the same conclusion – there wasn't any back fat to be seen. The video was also documented to have garnered over 4 million likes.

Kim's recent social media activity has packed on the swimsuits. First, came Kim's "packing" snap – the star took a closet selfie in a super-tiny and bubblegum-pink bikini.
Then came the revealing latex monokini as the Calabasas-based star soaked up the sun on Mexico's shores. Here, Kim showed off what was arguably more skin – multiple angles revealed the monokini to have a cheeky thong finish.
Both snaps proved immensely popular amid Kim's 157 million Instagram followers.
Kim may well offer a shrinking act, though. The star vowed to get back on track following her weight gain.

Kim didn't seem too pleased with herself as she revealed having gained those 18 pounds.
“So we’re doing a night workout before my dinner, which I never do — with this one — but I figured we have to get into it at some point,” she began.
“And yeah, I mean, sometimes we fall off and sometimes you really gotta get it together, and this is one of my fallen-off times where I am, I think, 18 lbs. up from what I was about a year ago, a year and a half ago," Kim added.
On the plus side, SKIMS is flying off shelves like crazy. The brand has even been speculated to make Kim a billionaire.
