Kim Kardashian has been open about the difficulties of her pregnancy with North West, and now she's revealing why she really thinks she gained a significant amount of weight during that time.

"I'd think God was doing this for a reason," she told Elle U.K. "He was saying: 'Kim, you think you're so hot, but look what I can do to you.'"

She continued, "My body just went crazy. After five months I swore I'd never get pregnant again. I got so huge and it felt like someone had taken over my body."

After enduring harsh public scrutiny because of her weight gain, Kardashian worked hard to drop the pounds and regain the curves she's grown to love over the course of her life.

"I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford's," she recalled. "No one looked like me."

Over the years, especially since becoming a mum, Kardashian says she's worked hard to shed the weight and reclaim her body confidence:

"It's taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today. I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford's. No one looked like me," she shared.

"It's good to break the mould and recreate one. 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."
