Split helped Khloe Kardashian to get into shape

Los Angeles: Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian says her failed marriage to basketball player Lamar Odom motivated her to get her body in the best shape.

The 30-year-old told Cosmopolitan Body magazine that during the difficult time, she found gym as her “only refuge”, reports people.com.

“The gym was my only refuge. I could put music on and dance around with my girlfriends and be silly,” she said.

“When me and Lamar were having issues, I decided to channel my energy into working out. If I went out with my girlfriends, I would be hounded by paparazzi and made to feel more humiliated," she added.

Khloe is proud of her curves and says she's always "had all this confidence" and has "never felt fat".
