About this show

Whitney was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and quickly gained more than 200 lbs. Once a slender dancer, Whitney felt like a skinny girl trapped in a fat girl’s body; she felt as though her life was over. Eager to continue sharing her passion for dance with the world, Whitney posted a video on YouTube in January 2014. “A Fat Girl Dancing” became an overnight sensation and turned her life upside down. Now 380 pounds, Whitney has a fresh outlook on life. She has learned to embrace her body and love herself again and urges others to do the same.
