Tammy Slaton from 1,000-lb Sisters hasn’t had an easy road in life. Her weight has put her health in jeopardy, she has a strained relationship with her family, and her love life has been a disaster. Unfortunately, she hasn’t made any effort toward making the necessary changes to turn her life around.
Her food addiction has gotten the best of her as she constantly gives in to her cravings and indulges her unhealthy appetite. Her physical and mental health is spiraling out of control as the numbers on the scale continue to rise. Her family has tried to constantly intervene and help Tammy in any way they can, but it hasn’t made a difference.
The 1,000-lb Sisters star has lived this way for so long, and fans are wondering why Tammy doesn’t want better for herself. She's had every opportunity to change her life’s trajectory. Let’s take a look at why Tammy hasn’t taken the steps needed toward a happy and healthy future.
Tammy Doesn’t Take Accountability
Tammy has no one to blame but herself for the choices that she has made. Instead of taking accountability for her actions, the 1,000-lb Sisters star believes the fault lies with everyone around her. While her sister Amy Slaton has made significant strides in her weight loss journey, Tammy is at a standstill. Tammy refuses to change her eating habits or follow any type of exercise regimen. Instead of admitting that her lifestyle is the reason why she isn’t seeing any progress, she blames Amy for the food that she buys for her.
Tammy Has A Victim Mentality
Tammy truly believes that everyone is against her and that she receives no support or encouragement. She plays the victim constantly on 1,000-lb Sisters and doesn’t give her family credit for all they have tried to do for her. Amy has been with Tammy since the beginning of her weight loss journey, cheering her on and being a constant source of help. Her brother, Chris Combs, has also always been by her side and worked with her to help motivate Tammy to get healthy and lose weight. None of it ever seems to be enough for Tammy as she continues to criticize them and direct her anger at them for her failures.
Tammy Has No Desire To Change
It is evident Tammy doesn’t have any desire to change. It is easier for her to remain angry because it is more work to change her deep-seated behavior. There aren't many options left for Tammy, as everyone has exhausted their resources trying different approaches. The 1,000 lb Sisters star has had a tailored exercise and diet plan, a supportive family, an in-home nurse, therapy, and rehab. Her family made sure she went to every doctor's appointment, did her grocery shopping, and helped cook her meals. They even frequently encouraged her to be more independent by pushing her to get her own mail and use an electric wheelchair.
Tammy wants a better life for herself, but nobody can make it happen for her without her doing anything. Her life is going to continue to pass her by while she sits on the sidelines if she doesn’t take action. Tammy needs to learn to rely on herself instead of everyone else around her. Her entitled attitude, aggressive behavior, and lack of motivation are standing in her way. At the end of the day, the 1,000-lb Sisters star is to blame for her own actions and the outcomes that have resulted from them.
