Fat Kevin Federline on Getting K-Fit

Kevin Federline before weight gain and after.

Kevin Federline says that despite rumors he gained weight intentionally so that he could star on VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp, he gained weight due to depression.

His life after ex-wife Britney Spears left him feeling lethargic, blue and, well, hungry. He says: “A number of things between, I mean, everybody knows what happened with me and Brit. I’m not going to say that’s the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression.”

On being offered a spot on the weight loss reality show: “They called me and they asked me if I wanted to do it and I had maybe 24 hours to decide because the show started taping the next day after that weekend. It just couldn’t have come at a better time.”

He goes on to describe vicious cycle of depression: “Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything. You’re kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed. I mean, it’s a combination of all of those things.”

Federline does admit that things between he and Britney have improved over the years, and continue to improve. “Yeah, I mean, I think as time goes on, it keeps getting better and better and better. I mean, I’m really happy the way that my life is going right now, I really am. I think, you know, I have come a long way. All of us have. My whole family. It’s gotten so much better from where we were.”

You can catch Kevin on VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp” on Monday, February 8th.
