Body shaming and judgment are not welcome on the new season of the hit TLC serieshttps://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/my-big-fat-fabulous-life/! Whitney Way Thore joined us to share her commitment to being a body positive advocate for herself and others. She also let us in on what to expect on the news season of the show, especially now that her engagement is off.

Whitney says she’s focused on her future. Her virtual fitness business with friend Jessica is thriving, and a recent move back to her hometown of Greensboro, NC, means she’s closer to family and friends. She's also exploring a new relationship as an online flirtation buds with a man who lives in Paris. The two met while Whitney was taking virtual French lessons, but long distance, especially cross-continental, is never easy, so the two of them are working to figure out exactly what they have. Whitney is also pursuing her goal of receiving her personal training certification, but she soon finds that anti-fat prejudices make it hard to develop a client base. Another dream of Whitney’s—motherhood—remains intact, but her journey is filled with challenges. As the season progresses, Whitney and her gang are fully vaccinated and the world is opening back up, meaning the possibilities are seemingly endless; celebratory trips ensue, but one big question remains: will Whitney get the opportunity to meet her Frenchman in person?

"My Big Fat Fabulous Life" premieres Tuesday, August 17th at 9:00pm on TLC. For more information, visit the show website.
