Kim Kardashian in love with her new, slim bod

Washington (ANI): Since her split from NFL star Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian has been strutting her noticeably shrinking bikini body in Miami while filming 'Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami." The 29-year-old socialite, however, admits she"s enjoying her new figure, and the attention it gets.

"I've lost five pounds in five days," Fox News quoted her as telling Life & Style magazine. "I really wanted to just buckle down and get rid of the tiny bit of excess weight I was carrying. I used to be so shy and insecure walking around in a bikini doing shoots and things."

Now that she"s dropped a few pounds, Kardashian says that she feels much better about herself. “It gave me a lot of confidence with my body. I work out to feel good about myself – and sure, it doesn't hurt if someone notices," she added.
