Before reality TV! RHOA vet Kim Zolciak, 37, is almost unrecognizable in snap taken with her daughters 12 years ago when she was a 'single mama' 

Kim Zolciak almost doesn't look real any longer thanks to her cosmetic procedures and her tendency to pile on the paint.

But on Sunday the 37-year-old Real Housewives Of Atlanta vet reminded her Instagram followers that once upon a time she was stripped down to her natural beauty.

The Bravo star posted a photo from 12 years ago when she was posing on the beach with her eldest daughters.

Kim's caption read: '12 years ago!! I showed this pic to Kroy and he asked me if I shot it at Walmart!'

The Don't Be Tardy standout clarified: 'This was Destin FL, one of the most beautiful beaches.'

The TV sensation added three hearts and the hashtags for it were: 'it was just me and my girls' and 'they are/were my strength.'

She also wrote 'single mama' and 'dreams do come true.'

She then met the love of her life: The photo was taken before she wed football player Kroy Biermann; here they are seen in 2013

The outspoken reality wonder also added: 'keep believing.' 

Kim looked fresh and happy in the image where she was laying down on the sand as her daughters Brielle and Ariana sat on her back.

Kim had her long blonde locks parted in the side and her makeup was nicely done with lined eyes and pink lps.

The performer had on a white tank top with frills on the sides and a cuff bracelet with a chunky ring and her standard French manicure nails.

Kim was last seen on social media on Thursday when she shared a video version of one of her favourite pastimes. The looker donned a frilly white bandeau bikini to show off her figure to her 1.8 million followers while admiring her reflection in a full-length mirror.

She captioned the short clip: 'No need to photoshop! Follow me on Snapchat KimZBiermann.'

In the video Kim awkwardly twists and turns her torso to show off all the angles of her physique and says: 'Do you like my little bathing suit? It's from Beach Bunny... like three years ago.'

The mother-of-six rubs her hand over her stomach and sticks her butt out to maximize the hourglass effect.

Her blonde locks are pinned up high and she shows off a long pink manicure.

In the past Kim has been accused of Photoshopping her Instagram images to make herself appear slimmed down.

She has always denied the allegations, even blasting critics in 2014 over accusations of photoshopping a thigh-gap into a selfie.

And when pictures emerged last year of her on a beach in Mexico looking somewhat different to her social media images, the reality star hit back with a video saying 'Go f**k yourselves'

Since then the star has made it clear via her postings that she doesn't care what people think.
