What is My Big Fat Fabulous Life about?
For those who have yet to see the long-running TLC series, My Big Fat Fabulous Life follows Whitney Thore’s emotional journey after being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The disorder caused Whitney, a slender dancer at the time, to gain more than 200 pounds in one year at college.
Feeling trapped in a big body, she struggled with self-doubt and negative stereotypes. Now over 250 pounds and eager to continue sharing her passion for dance, Whitney has learned to embrace her body and love herself again.
What to expect from My Big Fat Fabulous Life season 13
Those tuning in for this upcoming season will get a front row seat to the next chapter of Whitney’s life as she officially enters her 40s. With her biological clock ticking, Whitney focuses on a gradual romantic journey and shares her desire to start a family.
To kick off season 13, the premiere episode shows Whitney returning to normal life after a whirlwind trip overseas. Ready for big changes, Whitney finds herself considering artificial insemination. Meanwhile, a friend from the past reemerges leaving Whitney in the middle of an unfriendly situation.
