AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian opens up about her battle with body confidence when she was a teenager in an interview with ELLE U.K. for its January 2015 issue. "When I was 13 my father wrote me a letter," she tells the magazine, "I was unhappy with my body - I developed really early."
"Every night I would sit in the bath and cry, I prayed my boobs would stop growing," she continues, "[My father] told me I had a body not many girls have, that later it would lead to attention from men, but that the most important thing was that I was a wonderful girl and I had to understand my self worth."
Kim admits that the process of gaining confidence of her body took some time. "It's taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today," she says, "I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford's. No one looked like me. It's good to break the mould and recreate one."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star adds, "I'm an Armenian girl, I have shape, and it turned out people liked that. That makes me feel good about myself and about other women for being so supportive. I am a confident woman, but I didn't just arrive confident - it has built over the years and that is a big part of who I am now."
Talking about her recent nude photo hacking scandal, Kim responds, "I feel violated because these are private pictures. I didn't choose for them to be out there. But I'm also realistic. I'm on covers of magazines naked, so I can't go crazy about it. The only choice I can make is to not let it shake me up. I'm not having that choice taken away from me."
In the interview, Kim reveals her plan to give siblings for North West. "I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straight away," she shares, "I loved being part of a huge family - and I want that for North. We'd do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally."
Kanye West's wife continues, "A few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant. Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen. I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North."
