Never can anyone say that the reality star isn’t willing to put some effort into something.

According to Kardashian, it was a tremendous challenge. “Like playing a role, I was committed to fitting.”
The 41-year-old continued, “I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict. I also wore a sauna suit twice a day to run on the treadmill.”

Ballio attributed her weight loss to walking in her free time, gradually increasing her daily walking time from 30 minutes to two hours, doing hot yoga, and switching to a vegan diet.
She stepped on the scale, and she reflected, “I had control over my body, and that was inspiring to see that I had control over something.”

The shifting mentality, according to Ballio, is what inspires her. “I wanna play my dream roles on Broadway that have nothing to do with my weight. And I definitely see it going that direction.”
