Kim Kardashian’s ditching surgery and stepping up her fitness in order to get her teen body back. Good luck, girl

And it’s all because she wants to look good for her new baby

She may have employed a surrogate to carry her third child, but Kim Kardashian is still fretting about having the perfect figure for when the baby arrives in January.

Following years of reported surgery on her body, Kim, who’s 36, has vowed to stop having any more work done, because she feels like she’s gone too far and wants to look like she did as a teenager. So, instead of stepping into a non-existent time machine, the star has upped her exercise regime to look her natural best.

“She’s been going back through old pictures of herself as a teenager – no huge butt, no alien-like face – and realises just what she’s done to herself. Kim loved how she looked,” our source says. “She regrets it all, because she knows she’s doomed herself to a life of upkeep or her whole body will turn into Play-doh.”

We’re told that by the time the baby comes, Kim – who already has children, North, four, and 20-month-old Saint, with husband Kanye West – will be more or less surgery free. “She’s brainstormed a program – with the help of beauty experts, and the cooperation of her surgeon – that will see her gradually become more natural,” our insider continues. “The plan is to be surgery-free, apart from the occasional round of Botox or collagen, by the time her surrogate delivers early next year. Above all, she’s maintaining her diet and fitness routine and wants her body to be in perfectly sculpted condition when the baby arrives, because she knows all eyes will be on her. She’s doing loads of ab work, using free weights and dumbbells at home, as well as squats galore and other exercise routines that she fits in and around her work commitments.

“She wants to add muscle and tone up, but not to a point where she looks too butch. Kim and her trainer are working on losing weight around her rear end, but keeping it taut and toned rather than plumping it up with anything fake.”

However, it’s not going to be easy for Kim to maintain her new, more natural self, because surgery is such a normal thing in LA and everyone has similar looks. “Kim’s a realist – she looks around Hollywood and sees some pretty tragic surgery cases. She realises that now’s the time to stop, before it completely takes hold and she winds up looking like one of these victims,” our source explains. “It’s a huge commitment on her part, which will require a lot of willpower if she’s to see it through.”n
