The resurfaced photo was posted on a popular Kardashian-dedicated Reddit board titled "This Kim >>>".

It shows Kim, 41, standing nude in her bathroom mirror with thick black bars obscuring her more private parts.

The mirror selfie was just one in a collection of throwback Kim pics where the SKIMS founder appeared much curvier than in her more recent appearances.

The "This Kim >>>" caption, is to be taken as the post creator's preference for Kim's fuller figure of the past than for the slimmed-down look of the present.

Other Kardashian fans seemed to agree with the Redditor as they shared their opinions in the comment thread.

One person wrote: "Wow. This is the Kim I know and love."

A second Redditor commented that it's "crazy how much thinner she is these days. I feel like she was super healthy back then and now she is just going [too] crazy with the weight loss.

Another fan responded, writing "They ALL are going crazy with the weight loss! I just don’t get it! Khloe is WAY too thin for her body frame and it does NOT look good.

They continued, adding "[Khloe's] too tall and the pencil-thin, [her] ribs sticking out just isn’t a good look on her...I don’t get Kim with her super tiny waist either. They need to eat something and get a little meat back on them."

THE FANS' TAKE

Recently fans shared theories on the reasoning behind the LA native's sudden weight loss.

Kim revealed that she dropped 16lbs in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic $5million dress for the Met Gala.

The reality star, who is famous for her hourglass curves, has since shocked fans with her petite frame while attending events and on social media.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Kim's family is concerned she's losing too much weight and is "barely sleeping".

Amid the speculation, a fan suggested that Kim's weight loss could be to do with Pete's exes which include the likes of Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, and Pheobe Dynevor.

The user wrote on Reddit: "Kim's weight loss - a theory.

"I could be way off here but I’ve just realized all Pete’s exes are tiny. Like, incredibly thin. Even for Hollywood. I wonder if Kim noticed too."

Others agreed, with one writing: "Yeah he was with Ariana and that Kaia Gerber so I was like is he into Kim? Then she got skinnier.

"Which is kind of sad because it’s his looks that are trailing in the relationship, not her."

Another added: "You could be onto something. Also - as he is so skinny, maybe she’s trying to feel “smaller” to match him physically."

A third posted: "Pete’s been with skinny white women, she probably feels insecure about not being his typical type."

Earlier this month, an insider revealed Kim's family is worried about how much weight she has lost.

“Kim looks amazing, always, but she’s good at keeping how stressed she is hidden,” the source told The Sun. 

KIM TOO SLIM?

“She's the skinniest she's ever been and barely sleeping. Her family knows that a lot of this is her rebounding from a very controlling marriage, and her determination to show Kanye how much better she is doing without him.

“But whereas before she was incredibly healthy and well-rested, now she's constantly jetlagged and she’s finding it hard to fit workouts in. I think Kim’s really struggling but won't admit it.

“She’s juggling being a hands-on mum, her studies, the high-pressure filming schedule and is always on edge that Kanye will go on another rant.

"She is having a great time with Pete but the travel is taking its toll and she’s barely sleeping. Everyone is worried she’s burnt-out.”
