LOS ANGELES, June 15 (UPI) -- Khloe Kardashian says stylists used to reject her for being "too big." The 31-year-old reality star revealed as much while reflecting on her weight loss with Harper's Bazaar. Kardashian, who now works out three to five days a week, has lost 40 pounds in the past few years.

"I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I've lost weight," she said. "Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing ... I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn't even that crazy big!"
"People actually said, 'I just can't work with you' -- because I was too big. That always hurt my feelings, of course," the star admitted. "[Now when those people offer to dress me], I'm just like, '[Expletive] you. I'm not going to reward your bad behavior.'"
Kardashian said she started exercising to escape her "dark and toxic" home life with Lamar Odom, whom she split from in 2013. She previously told Cosmopolitan Body the gym was a place where she could decompress and be "silly" with friends.
"When me and Lamar were having issues, I decided to channel my energy into working out," the star revealed. "If I went out with my girlfriends I would be hounded by paparazzi and made to feel more humiliated. The gym was my only refuge."
"Now on my Instagram page people comment saying, 'I liked you better when you were bigger' and I think,' Thank god I don't live my life for other people because I'd be in a constant tug of war," she added.
Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom again in May and has since been linked to Odell Beckham, Jr. The reality star initially filed for divorce in 2013 but called off the proceedings following Odom's hospitalization in November.
