1000-Lb Sisters fans took to Reddit to discuss Tammy’s journey.

“I’m starting to feel sympathy for Tammy…” the thread begins. The original poster continues to say they too are severely overweight and struggle to make healthier choices. They pursued bariatric surgery in the past, but the pandemic happened and forced them to postpone the procedure. However, they did make it happen.

“…Now 17 months post op I am 200 lbs. still want to lose another 30ish. These last 30 have been HARD AS F—.” They went on to say that they too are a food addict. The OP struggles with their addiction from time to time, as would any other type of addict.

“Sadly, all the bullying, even all the encouragement won’t do anything for [Tammy]. I had so many cheerleaders in my life and until I decided for myself that this was my rock bottom, it’s time to do this, I couldn’t do it,” OP confessed. “I was able to lead a successful, fulfilling life while being overweight. I was horribly depressed but I am the type of person that is able to bury that deep inside of me and just continue to push. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to do that. Tammy is clearly one of those people. I think addiction is her #2 problem, but her mental health is #1 and that needs to be addressed first.”

Other former addicts sounded off in the comments, revealing they also began to sympathize with Tammy. After all the hate Tammy received online this year, it’s refreshing to see that she has some advocates.

In case you didn’t manage to check out the Season 3 finale, Tammy Slaton had a pretty major health scare. Just one day after checking into rehab, she suffered a medical emergency and almost lost her life.

Thankfully, she did recover and is living a much healthier life these days. She told fans she gave up smoking, drinking, and excessive partying. Hopefully, this is the start of a brand new Tammy Slaton.

We don’t know if Season 4 will happen, but fans would love to see Tammy’s journey as she finally succeeds. Keep following us online for the latest news on Tammy and the rest of her siblings.
