Khloé Kardashian has opened up about the mixed reaction to her appearance change as she reveals she's 'come to terms' with the fact that she can't please everyone.
The 40-year-old reality TV star has long since been the subject of relentless online trolling and some mixed messages from fans regarding her weight and appearance.
Now, as we know, it's perfectly normal for one's weight to fluctuate - and it certainly isn't something people should be commenting on, let alone mocking someone over.
But the mum-of-two has sadly found herself at the centre of a 'make Khloé thick again' discourse online after updating fans with pictures throughout her weight loss and health/fitness journey.

In her latest episode of her Khloé In Wonder Land podcast with fitness influencer, Whitney Simmons, she opened up about the response to her weight loss.
The Kardashians star shared: "The bigger I was, I was way more confident. I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you're going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that."
She said that she never 'thought she was fat until I got on TV and everyone told me how fat I was', adding: "I didn’t know I was fat. What's interesting is, looking back, I’m like, wait, I actually wasn’t as fat as even I convinced myself that I was. But it was a different time, too. People were so thin during that time."
She continued: "When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn't for me. I felt like, 'Well, I can't get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen'."
Khloé went on to explain that it was around this time that she noticed 'a different type of attention' that she started receiving.
"And then once I got a little older, I was like, 'Wait, this is gross.' I hated that that's why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way," she recalled.
Noting that 'with ages comes wisdom', the Good American founder resolved: "I've learned, no matter what, I'm never going to make people happy because I was once bigger, I was thinner, and I had the same amount of people, but from different ends."
And directly responding to online trolls who brand her a 'traitor' due to the weight loss and had somehow had a personality change due to it, Khloé simply explained: "I just aesthetically look a little different, or a lot different, whatever you want to say."
Such critics also claim Khloé's weight loss is down to weight loss drugs - claims which she was denied.
She continued to say that she soon 'came to terms' with the fact that she's 'never going to make everyone happy', but it doesn't matter so long as she is happy.
Earlier this month, Khloé's 27-year-old sister, Kylie, sparked quite the debate online after revealing the exact details of her breast implants.
While many fans praised her 'transparency', others highlighted a plethora of issues with such candour namely by indirectly encouraging other impressionable young women to go under the knife and by normalising plastic surgery.
