Whitney Way Thore is set to return with a new season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life. In the meantime, Thore has shared an emotional admission as weight loss medications have become a recurring topic of conversation. This also comes out as fans follow Thore along one journey in particular.
Whitney Way Thore Will Return For Season 14 Of My Big Fat Fabulous LifeOn November 10
Thore was introduced to many after a video of her dancing went viral. Through this, she later became the star of the TLC reality series, My Big Fat Fabulous Life, which made its debut in 2015.
Through the series, fans have continued to follow Thore through a number of journeys. This includes her love life and her desire to have a child.
In a clip shared ahead of the show’s Season 14 premiere on November 10, Thore offered an update on her pregnancy journey. She attempted an at-home insemination last season, and she spoke about her intrauterine insemination attempts.
Speaking with her friend Ashley Baynes, Thore mused, “If that doesn’t work, we need to go to IVF [in vitro fertilization.] So I started already looking at all the IVF clinics, whatever.”
Thore Shared Mixed Feelings About The Idea Of Using A ‘Weight-Loss Drug’
However, Thore noted that there was already one issue with the process: “They have limitations. In order to get IVF, you have to be under a certain BMI. And it’s like, I’m not under it.” It was then that Ashley asked, “But if you just need a little push, could you do the GLP-1s? Are you already doing them? Because you look good!”
To this, Thore replied, “Which is hilarious because I haven’t lost weight in three years. I’m 275 pounds; I am still huge.” It was then that she admitted, “But I have a guilt thing, of taking it to lose weight. But it’s, like, I know it would actually help my body.”
Speaking with the producers, Thore gave an emotional share, noting, “GLP-1s were designed for people with diabetes and insulin resistance. And my insulin resistance has always been high. I haven’t done it, honestly, for what I consider to be a pretty stupid reason. And that is because it’s also a weight-loss drug. And I feel that as a pubic fat person, I would be shamed for taking a ‘weight-loss medication.’”
Ashley then gave her friend some advice: “I would try not to overthink it and just do the next thing that feels right every day, you know?” Thore continued to share her thoughts with the producers, expressing, “I don’t want to stay fat. I just won’t sacrifice my mental and physical well-being to be thin. The biggest thing that makes me really consider taking a GLP-1 is just that my doctor said it would certainly help.”
