MBFFL: Whitney Way Thore Looks Unrecognizable In Teen Throwback — The Rare Photo Left Fans In Total Shock

While taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Whitney shared a throwback photo and recent photo of her and her friend Heather.

In the first snap, the two teens smiled for the camera and were all dolled up in eye shadow, eyeliner and lipstick.

The second picture captured the friends posing together in a pool, which was taken much more recently.

Whitney explained it was Heather’s birthday in the caption, writing: “@isntsheheather has been blessing my life as my best friend since 2002!”

The My Big Fat Fabulous Life star continued: “(An interesting little tidbit is that we met when Todd called me to come choreograph his high school’s production of GREASE and also play Cha-Cha. Heather was Rizzo…and was also dating Todd! 🙈)

“Since then, I have enjoyed the longest-lasting and best friendship of my life and I am so grateful for Heather. What a gift it is to have a friend who is loyal, steadfast, and always wants the best for you. A friend who I’ve shared my best times, worst times, and biggest laughs with.

“How wonderful it is to watch your best friend be so amazing, so smart, so talented, so beautiful, and such a good mother.”

Whitney concluded: “I am so lucky to know you and love you, @isntsheheather! You’re the best. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
