Find Out What 'Big Fat Fabulous Life' Star Whitney Thore Says She Quit!
TLC star Whitney Way Thore admitted she's quit something that used to be a major part of her life.
The My Big Fat Fabulous Life star opened up to her half of a million Instagram followers about her rollercoaster ride of losing and gaining back weight. She said there was a time she restricted herself too much and it led to giving up on one major thing that helped her lose weight.
"Because of the weight loss and restriction-based mentality that gyms can foster, I quit going consistently for years," said the reality star.
With her gym days behind her, Thore opened up about how she views herself now. She referred to herself as a "fat athlete."
"Exercising is not a means to an end; it's not something I suffer through to lose weight," Thore added.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Thore has become a body image activist after she fought for her own happiness after weighing 340 pounds. Thore endured a hellish childhood, with the reality star being bullied and having suicidal thoughts.
