#mce_temp_url#Kim Kardashian had recently expressed her dissatisfaction with her current weight and her desire to lose 20 pounds via a throwback Instagram post. In recent days, she has taken to twitter to interact with her fans and to speak more about her struggle and the steps that she is taking to achieve her goal.

After posting a photo on Instagram from five years ago in which she was posing on a red carpet where she says that she was 20 pounds lighter, Kim indicated that she needs to work hard to get back to the same weight.

Kim Kardashian Unhappy With Current Weight, Wants To Lose 20 Pounds

Kim faced a lot of criticism when she was pregnant with her first child, North West, for gaining a lot of weight. She worked hard in the months following the birth and was soon back in good enough shape to manage some sexy photo shoots and even a racy selfie book. It appears that while already looking hot, Kim still wants to get rid of the remaining baby weight and a year after her baby's birth, she feels that it's about time!

off to an intense workout. Can't seem to shake this last 15-20 lbs of baby weight. no more excuses. my baby is 1 years old! UGH

Kim was also seen in a recent episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" sharing some aspects of her efforts to exercise and lose weight. Kim was seen enlisting her sister Khloe to go on a mud run with her where she challenged Khloe on a race through a muddy obstacle course. Kim had been confident that she could win but soon found out that while she works out regularly, she is no match for the much bigger and stronger Khloe. Back to her twitter account, the reality star then took back what she said about the weight being on account of her pregnancy and took the responsibility for her weight gain:

I'm not gonna call it baby weight bc thats an excuse. i just gained weight & that's it. why is it so much harder to lose after baby though!! — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) August 5, 2014

Kim then reaches out to her fans and shows a more down-to-earth side by revealing that she also needs to struggle just like other moms out there. She even hazards to call her own hips and butt huge:

do any of u moms see their bodies just not the same? a different shape? ughhhh my hips & butt are huge now! they were big to begin with!

She then offers an insight on the process of losing weight and the discipline needed to keep the weight off:

i think after having a baby u get so excited u lost a lot of weight then u get comfortable & eat how you used & it creeps back up. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) August 5, 2014

She ends her barrage by taking on a positive vibe and resolving to get to work and to stop complaining. She then motivates herself and tries to encourage her fans as well:

Just need to get down to my weight a few years ago. Not gonna complain anymore. Starting diet TODAY! No carbs. crazy workouts. Whos with me?

— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) August 5, 2014

wish me luck on the dieting...its soooo hard for me! — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) August 5, 2014

Things seemed to be off to a good start until Kim shared a photo a few hours later about how her younger sister Kylie was making her eat carbs while they are out on dinner together.

It remains to be seen how effective her new diet will be. If her recent selfie posts are any indication however, there should not be much to worry about.
