Khloé Kardashian’s health and fitness journey began after her divorce fromLamar Odom.
The Good American co-creator, 38, whose divorce from the former Lakers star, 43,was finalized in December 2016, said in a recentinterview withInStylethat she “turned to the gym” because she “didn’t really know what to do” after their split.
“Of course, in the beginning, you [have to] get over that hump of it being really hard and something so new for you,” she shared. “But I felt so accomplished.”
Odom and Kardashiantied the knot in 2009after only one month of dating. Theycalled it quitsin 2013, though the she didn’t officially file for divorce until 2015 because ofhis near-fatal overdose.

“When I first started [working out], I cared so much,” she recalled to the outlet. “Maybe [it’s] just being younger. I think you care about the scale. The scale Fs with you. I don’t even look at a scale anymore. I think it’s really unhealthy. I haven’t in years. They’re just numbers.”
What’s kept her dedicated to her health journey, she added, is knowing that she’s in control.
“I’m sort of a control freak, but in life, we can’t control everything,” theKeeping Up With the Kardashiansstar said. “But the gym, what I put in it, I know I’m going to get out of it. And being a control freak — I’m proud of it — I love that I have that control.”
