Talking to chat show host Jay Leno about her famous Instagram bikini selfie, the yummy mummy revealed: "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.'"
Commenting on the cruel weight jibes she had to endure while pregnant, she admitted she took them to heart.
"It really hurt my soul," she shared, "It changed how I am in 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.
"I've tried to live a more private life because of that, because they were so nasty. Why even go out as much just to put yourself in that position?"
After four months of dieting, the sultry reality star posted a seriously sexy ass selfie, in a daring white swimsuit.
The reality star, who gave birth to baby North West just four months ago, tweeted the results of her post-pregnancy diet to her 18 million followers under the caption "#NoFilter" this morning.
And boy does that bum look good.
The smokin' hot mama, who admitted she'd been struggling to lose her pregnancy pounds on hit reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, shed her baby weight using the Atkins diet .
"I've actually been doing the Atkins diet & luv it," Kim said in response to a fan who wanted to know what the key was to her weight loss.

The protein-rich diet, which was created by Dr. Robert Atkins, eliminates carbs but encourages dieters to not worry about counting calories. By cutting carbs right down, Dr Atkins says the body's chemistry is switched from a carb-burning machine to one that burns fat.
Other stars who have sworn by the diet over the years, include Jennifer Aniston, Geri Halliwell, Demi Moore and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
"Being a new nursing mother, she needed adequate calories to be healthy for her child and keep up her milk production. What's great about Atkins is that it's not about counting calories or depriving yourself," a rep for Atkins explained.
The rep went on to say that Kim has been eating a very healthy diet, consisting of "tons of lean, nutritious foods such as fish, lean cuts of meat, beef, leafy greens, broccoli, spinach, nuts, avocados and olive oil."
We'll tell you something Kimmy, it's certainly paid off.
