Khloé Kardashian Odom is opening up about body issues in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan UK.

"I'm confident in who I am. I've always known that I'm not Kim and I'm not Kourtney—I've always been OK with that," the E! star tells the mag. "I probably thought I was prettier before I entered the spotlight because being compared to somebody else every day does sort of beat up your spirit and soul. But it's made me stronger. I've gained another level of confidence."

She adds, "I don't care what size I am; I care about how I look," she says. "If my jeans are tight and I have a little muffin top, then OK, I have to cut down on the carbs. I don't expect to be a size 2 and nor do I want to be. I'm 5 feet, 10 inches and I like being curvy, but I also like being toned."

When the subject turns to starting a family with husband Lamar Odom, Khloé insists she's in no rush to have a child.

"I do want to have a baby, but I don't feel the urgency to have one this very moment," she says.

Of course, speaking of little bundles of joy, sister Kim is expecting one with boyfriend Kanye West, with whom Khloè and the rest of her family have a great relationship.

A new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians premieres June 2 at 9 p.m., only on E!

"I think Kanye knows how to deal with Kim really well," Khloé says. "Because we've known him for so long, he'll come to us if he wants advice on a birthday present or something. I like that. Kris [Humphries, Kim's soon-to-be-ex-husband] wouldn't even talk to us. I love that with Kanye we have that friendship. Because when you're with one of us, you're with all of us."

The June issue of Cosmopolitan UK, featuring Khloé on the cover, hits newsstands on May 2.
