This week, “My Big Fat Fabulous Life” star Whitney Way Thore was honored at “Give a Little TLC”, an event held by the channel in honor of personalities that fight against bullying.

The star posted a few photos on Instagram, as well as a video addressing the guests at the Union Park Events, where the event took place.

“In case y’all forgot how I feel about you”, Whitney said. “Thank you so much for letting me into your lives via your TV, your tablets, your phones… However else. You have given my life so much purpose and meaning and hope and I am forever grateful.”
