She also acknowledged that as a public figure, she is aware that her life is on constantly on display. \"Oh but who cares how she feels because she grew up in a life of privilege. She's also on a reality show so she signed up for all of this,\" Kardashian wrote, acknowledging comments critics have made. \"I'm of course not asking for sympathy but I am asking to be acknowledged for being human.\"

She said that her body has constantly been subject to judgement throughout her time in the public eye.

\"For over a decade now in photos, every single flaw and imperfection has been micro-analyzed and made fun of to the smallest detail and I am reminded of them everyday by the world,\" she wrote. \"And when I take that criticism to use as motivation to get myself in the best shape of my life and to even help others with the same struggles, I am told I couldn't have done it through hard work and I must have paid for it all.\"

Kardashian also said that she is not going to let comments dictate the images she chooses to share of herself.

\"I love a good filter, good lighting and an edit here and there,\" she wrote. \"The same way I throw on some make-up, get my nails done, or wear a pair of heels to present myself to the world the way I want to be seen and it's exactly what I will continue to do unapologetically.\"

\"My body, my image and how I choose to look and what I want to share is my choice,\" she added. \"It's not for anyone to decide or judge what is acceptable anymore.\"
