Dancing her way through the haters, Whitney Way Thore is embracing her body in a world that judges people by their size. She navigates both career challenges and relationship mishaps with her vivacious personality, a sense of humor, and an abundance of courage. This series follows Whitney, who was diagnosed with an endocrine system disorder known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which caused her, a slender dancer at the time, to gain over 200 pounds in just one year at college. Feeling trapped in a larger body, she struggled with self-doubt and negative stereotypes. Now at 380 pounds and eager to continue sharing her passion for dance, Whitney has learned to embrace her body and love herself again.
