Tammy Slaton has struggled to keep up with her weight loss goals in 1000-lb Sisters, and some fans speculate the TV personality has no ambition to change her lifestyle. As Tammy and her sister Amy embark on season 3, the elder Slaton sibling is once again trying to make headway in her 3-year battle to qualify for weight loss surgery. From her habit of sabotaging her progress to her dependent relationship with Amy, here’s why some 1000-lb Sisters fans believe Tammy might not want to lose weight.
Tammy and Amy started their challenging roads to reducing their weights alongside 1000-lb Sisters‘ debut. Since childhood, the Slaton sisters have had unhealthy relationships with food and have suffered severe life-threatening complications thanks to their addictions. During season 1, Amy and Tammy asserted they would finally commit to a weight loss plan and reclaim their lives before their overeating habits left the pair bedridden. Throughout 1000-lb Sisters season 1, Amy consistently accomplished her weight loss goals and, ultimately, qualified for bariatric surgery. Since undergoing the weight loss operation, Amy’s life has changed for the better. Not only is her body healthier, but Amy was also able to give birth to her son Gage thanks to the surgery.
While Amy’s progressed in her weight loss efforts even after enduring her gastric bypass operation, Tammy hasn’t enjoyed the same triumph. Instead of following in Amy’s fruitful footsteps, Tammy’s had trouble committing to the diet her doctors have instructed her to follow. During 1000-lb Sisters season 2, Tammy regressed and gained weight. Fans were frustrated with Tammy when she went to a rehab facility for food addiction. While Tammy’s supporters were happy the reality star was taking her weight loss seriously again, viewers were disappointed to learn the Slaton sister left the facility before getting rid of the 100 pounds she planned to lose during her stay. When Tammy opted to leave rehab only 60 pounds lighter, fans suspected the entertainer might not ever want to lose weight. One Reddit user proposed, “Tammy is not the least bit interested in losing weight.”
1000-lb Sisters fans were convinced Tammy could’ve stuck it out and lost the 100 pounds she planned to at rehab but left early because she doesn’t really want to get thinner. One commenter suggested, “[Tammy] has a very low self-esteem and men are giving her attention at the size she’s at.” While many viewers agreed Tammy appreciates the attention she gets, others argued the reality star’s reluctance to lose weight is a result of her not wanting her dynamic with Amy to change. After Amy underwent weight loss surgery, her entire life changed. Skeptics suppose Tammy is scared of the liberty that comes with losing weight. A fan hypothesized, “If [Tammy] were to lose weight and regain mobility… She’d be forced into independence, and she just doesn’t want it.” The Slaton sisters have a dysfunctional dynamic, but Tammy might be comfortable being taken care of by her sister.
Tammy’s family and fans have hope the reality star will finally make progress in her weight loss journey in 1000-lb Sisters season 3. Based on her pattern of giving up and her complicated relationship with Amy, Tammy’s critics think she won’t ever lose weight by choice. Hopefully, Tammy will disprove these theories and reclaim her health in the upcoming 1000-lb Sisters seasons.
