Lose Weight Comments Off on Whitney Way Thore Responds to Weight Loss Comments in Candid Post – Prevention Magazine

For years, intimate scenes from Whitney Way Thores life have been chronicled on her TLC reality show, My Big Fat Fabulous Life. That publicity seems to make some people feel comfortable commenting on her body and her weight. On a recent Instagram post, the 39-year-old was inundated with commenters asking if she had

The post was a casual outfit video that shared the theme of her dads birthday celebration: Mardi Gras. Can anyone guess what were doing to celebrate Dads birthday? , her original caption read. She later edited the post to address the influx of weight loss comments.

I hate addressing this, but no, I have not had medical intervention to lose weight, she wrote. In 2015 (season 1), I weighed 385 pounds. In 2018, I lost 50 pounds. When my mom got sick and eventually died, I lost 50 more. I weigh 285 pounds and I have been this weight for almost a year now. This is the second time in my life Ive lost 100 pounds. Im still very fat.

She continued: Thank you for the compliments, but I really dont like obsessing over my body and I dont like it when others do it either.

Thores mom, Barbara Babs Thore, died in December 2022 of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, a complex cerebrovascular disorder, per People. As shown on her show, Thore cared for Babs until her final days, and was hit hard with griefa significant contributor to her weight loss, she previously told Entertainment Tonight.

I think its obvious that I have lost some weight and that is true. And people say, like, Is it surgery? and Im like, No, its grief, but thanks, she told the outlet in September 2023. On the show, Ill talk about my weight more, but in my personal life, I dont really find it necessary to talk about how much I weigh. Its just not something that I care to focus on and talk about.

When the show premiered in 2015, it set out to document Thores experience with weight gain after she was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, an endocrine disorder that impacts hormonal production, reception, and transportation. The series specifically aimed to capture Thores thriving life as a dancer, despite her weight gain. Although she says she has not opted to undergo surgery or use weight loss injections like Ozempicwhich some have also accused her of doingshe isnt one to judge those that do.

Ive been fat now for 20 years and fat in the public eye. I know how hard it is and I do not ever judge a fat person for doing anything that makes their lives easier. I am not that fat person thats gonna say, Oh my gosh, why are they on Ozempic? Why are they losing weight? Theyre betraying me. Its their body. It has nothing to do with me and its hard out here for a blimp, she told ET. It is really difficult to live in bodies like this and there is no judgment from me.

Its clear Thore doesnt like to obsess over her body, and she doesnt think anyone else should either.
