Khloe Kardashian is Shape magazine’s latest cover girl.

Inside the May 2016 issue, Khloe opens up about her weight loss journey and how Lamar Odom‘s hospitalization impacted her fitness. She even spills that she wears hoop earrings and makeup while working out, but are we really surprised?

Check out the highlights below.

On how her breakup from Lamar Odom kickstarted her weight loss:

“When Lamar [Odom] and I broke up, I had all these emotions that I didn’t know what to do with. Some people suggested therapy, but instead I joined my local Equinox gym, where I’d get on an elliptical and watch bad reality TV. As a result, I started losing weight.”

On his hospitalization

“When Lamar was in the hospital, I stopped doing the one thing I really needed: exercise,” she said. “The gym takes all the anxiety away when I’m overwhelmed or stressed out.”

On the importance of feeling cute while working out:

“I also always wear hoop earrings; they’re like my security blanket,” she said. “I’m inspired to do an extra squat or an extra lunge. People laugh at me, but why not? They make me feel more dressed up. I also wear makeup when I work out. I put on a tinted moisturizer, mascara, and cherry lip balm, and fill in my eyebrows. If I feel cuter with a little lip color and mascara, why should anybody else care?”

Shortly after Khloe’s cover was revealed, she took to Twitter to share her displeasure with the shot Shape chose:

Either way, she’s looking better than ever. Pick up the May issue of Shape, on newsstands April 19.
