"I went a million ways on it. I actually ended up talking about it in therapy, oddly enough, because of my own body insecurity issues and what celebrities have done to people in distorting their image of what a real human body looks like," Chrissy told .
"You get frustrated because I look at and I'm like 'You're so beautiful and you're so strong.' And the change that she has made to her body, she's so proud of and everybody's so proud of and you want someone to be like 'f**k yes, this is my body' in any light
"But at the same time, I'm like 'Oh my god, if anyone's able to say and have any kind of portrayal of the body they want people to see. If she didn't want that photo to be out, she didn't want that photo to be out, and that's fine too," Chrissy said.

“And then shares it to the world - you should have every right to ask for it to not be shared - regardless of who you are."

She then got honest about the impact online chatter has had on her: “In truth, the pressure, constant ridicule and judgement my entire life to be perfect and to meet other’s standards of how I should look has been too much to bear.”
The reality star then went on to quote several harsh comments she has received over the years: “Khloe’s the fat sister. Khloe’s the ugly sister.
"Her dad must not be her real dad because she looks so different. The only way she could have lost weight must have been from surgery. Should I go on?"

“I am not perfect but I promise you that I try everyday to live my life as honestly as possible and with empathy and kindness.
“It doesn’t mean I have not made mistakes. But I’m not going to lie, It’s almost unbearable trying to live up to the impossible standard that the public have all set for me.

She concluded by saying that she “never got used” to being told “how unattractive one is” and admitted that if one “hears anything enough” they “start to believe it."
