All about My Big Fat Fabulous Life season 10

The new season of My Big Fat Fabulous Life will air on Tuesday with rather heart-breaking news for Whitney as she learns that her mother has suffered “another stroke”, leaving her hospitalized.

The family does not know “what her prognosis is.” Her mother, Babs, is her “priority” but after talking to her doctor, she is scared as the doctor "didn’t see any progress.”

Whitney’s 76-year-old mom suffered her first stroke in 2017. Whitney took her mother Babs to the gym for some exercise during a previous season as part of her recovery plan to help her get back on track. In the confessional, she said:

"You know, there are some things about my mom that have declined obviously since her stroke but my mom is vibrant and beautiful and so full of life. She makes people happy and she makes people laugh. I just want her to have her zest for life back."

Now, the second stroke is making Whitney worried for her mother’s health. In the preview clip, Whitney is seen crying her heart out as she is not ready for anything bad. She even says that she wants her mother to know that she loves her.
