The only way Tammy will ever lose weight is for her to go inpatient and be monitored 24/7. I have zero faith she will ever lose any weight on her own...
and when shes done, she will gain it back like an animal. Shes just a pig with no hope and I honestly feel sickened by her for making money off of people for being such a irresponsible slob.
That's were she is now, she asked herself to go which is first time she's ever made effort herself. But then on her first night their she got rushed to intensive care and they didn't think she would make it. She got better went back to the facility and has lost 100lb well last time their was an update a few weeks ago! Think this time she's doing it for herself!
@@MrConcretejoE Lmao wtf 😂
She needs someone like that home nurse but with her 24/7 who will give her lots of tough love and not let enablers bring her food not on the diet.
You guys know this is an old episode right?
Tammy just might be the Ozzy Osbourne of bariatric patients. Shes survived ALOT.

Oh ya!!!😂
Hahaha so true.
Oh my goddd this is SOOOO true lmfao 😂
amy is such a cutie 😂💕 the way she babytalks through the window n peeking through it HAHAHAH soooo adorable!
It was precious 🥰😍
Tammy is 600+ pounds looking like a nice catch for those feeders
That shit ain't cute..
Beauty is in the heart and NOT someone’s outer appearance… I feel sorry for the people who make negative comments… May God have mercy on y’all’s souls. You reap what you sow 💯 remember that when your time comes 💯
What a freaking phenomenal doctor. Treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
i mean yeah- a good doctor would try to find the root of the problem to stop it forever
the holistic perspective is everything
Tammy has Covid. But who's filming her inside her house???? Damn, TLC. The commitment.

💀💀💀💀
Tammy is bed bound now
Frt
@@Justynbrodsky123 is she?
The fact that Tammy survived is a miracle
Hamda, I agree with you. Tammy's being here is a miracle.
I think that since she has come very close to deaths door several times, she would become a little more humble.
Amen!
It's kinda sad...shesgonna move in and ruin Amy's life.
News about Tammy: she gained
@@lavendergold6379 Amy is
This doctor is WONDERFUL. He is so skilled at having a therapeutic dialogue with Tammy. If ANYONE is going to be able to help Tammy, it will absolutely be this man.
The only person that can help Tammy is Tammy!
I think the Dr enables Tammy to continue with her gluttonous. He makes excuses for her. How about some tough love here? Everybody tiptoes around that fat ---
So proud that Chris still lost weight. I believe he will make the rest of his goal. He seems like such a lovely man. You got this Chris!
Tammy is surviving out of pure spite 😂
I think that's a true saying, bad minded people tend to live longer 😄
I was going to say the opposite.
I'm dead 🤣☠
I believe it.
I'm sorry I laughed so hard 😂🤣
Whatever you believe SOMEONE is looking out for Tammy. She’s been so close to death so many times and she always bounces back. She has one hell of a guardian angel. I hope this time its enough to push herself to get started on this journey.
She ended up going to rehab and losing 113 pounds in 1 month
@@thehastycuber I realize this is an old episode now lol 😂 but I’m very proud of Tammy!
You made me realize this for myself also. I keep getting sent back. Some of us are meant to be here.
yeah it's called modern medicine lmao
@@Nelflez exactly, like how tf is tammy protected by some spaghetti monster, but a child getting graped is okay with these peoples deity? if it wasnt for modern medicine, tammy wouldve been gone looong time ago.
getting up to get that food was the quickest we have seen her move since the show started
Lmaoo
Stop
Can we talk about how great Chris is?? He is honest, genuine and just such a ray of sunshine
Edit: also lol thanks for all those likes
Yep I love Chris...he's a great brother to all his sisters
Was his voice always like that or its because of covid? Just curious.
@@HAQEEMisHERE always and he won't give up smoking, all that blubber and he smokes.
Yes. He is a lovely man
@@marilynwillett804 he stopped smoking thats how he got the surgery
The expression on Dr. Smith’s face after hearing she gained 20 pounds is priceless. This poor doctor has the same expression every time she gains weight. He then has a long pregnant pause as you see the wheels turning his head of trying to figure out what he can say to her. I feel sorry for this doctor. I had weight-loss surgery 21 years ago lost 240 pounds and have maintained it all these years. It was not easy and even today I take it day by day. It’s just a tool and takes hard work you have to put in. And I don’t think Tammi has it in her to work hard. She wants it to magically disappear, and that’s tragic.
she needs Dr Now to put her in her place-he doesn't mince his words-she doesn't give a shit about losing weight
@@burlhorse61 Dr Now would tell her not to come back!
@@burlhorse61 he would destroy her Dr Now dose not gaf about your feelings when it comes to your life on the line and spitting out facts
You’re strong! Proud of your hard work
Exactly she does not want to do the work and is not going to.
I love that Amy was worried about the baby seeing Tammy more then herself that’s so sweet
I have to say I'd love to have a sister like Amy. She's so kind and forgiving. My sister's hurt me so bad I divorced them. It hurts alot. Be grateful for family that truly cares and loves you. If all my problems showed on the outside I'd be bigger than Tammy.
So sorry to hear that. Sending love x
I understand exactly what you're saying! Ditto on situation.
Amy is literally the sweetest person ...and Tammy is the exact opposite. It makes me sad how kind and nice Amy is to her sister , and she treats her like actual crap.
She’s so jealous of Amy because she’s getting her shit together by losing weight and having a baby and Tammy wants what Amy has so bad even though she says she isn’t jealous.
She can't treat other people nicely because she can't treat herself nicely. Once she figures out the mental shit she's got going on inside, I'm sure we will get to see another side of Tammy, happier and more loving.
@katlynnnnnn upto now she has but theres still a chance if only she'll help herself.
Nobody treated anybody like crap in this video tho.
No body treated anybody like crap in this video
Amy is such a sweet soul.
💯 🥰
The one who was faking her death for money on the internet?
Ok
@@Matthew-vp9rh yup that's the one! It's cause she has a baby now so everything bad she does we pretend never happened cuz of BABY!
@@Matthew-vp9rh wait what she did? or is it like fake news?
@@Matthew-vp9rh Oh nvm it was in 2015 Yezz, get over it allready :P
All of Tammy's doctors are angels. Dr Now would not be as gracious. Lol
The fact that Chris said he failed as a diet buddy broke my heart. It's clear how much he loves her and wants to support her, but it's so hard to help someone with such a strong addiction and hes clearly doing his best.
“You still got the Rona?” The way she said that was so cute!!!
Lmaoo
I know I kept rewinding it 😂
Amy is honestly so cute though
That and “it’s healthy, it’s a banana.”
Bruh I can’t imagine how tough it was for the medical professionals handling her case.. the paramedics who transported her, the nurses who administered IVs, breathing tubes etc.. and the doctors who had to sought through complications with morbid obesity to target and treat her lungs. If THIS isN’T a wake up call for Tammy, she might as well be ‘asleep’ forever.
My thoughts exactly as someone married to an RN trust me it’s no joke caring for overweight folks
It might be a wake up call to her right now. But she admitted that she tries but some days/most days. She finds it hard for herself to stop and feels depressed. The root of the problem is her depression that is stopping her motivation. If she can overcome this depression and find healthy ways to deal with it and open up about her issues. And finding coping mechanisms to over power the food addiction for coping. Maybe she’ll be able to. And there’s many reasons why therapy hasn’t worked for her in the past. 1. She probably didn’t click with her therapist. You have to trust someone to open up to them about sensitive issues like depression. And maybe she didn’t trust the therapist she had. So she just felt like giving up therapy, even though once you find a good therapist. Usually you start to make progress. 2. She is still struggling. This could be her thinking that if she doesn’t make progress right away, she is just going to give up. Someone needs to tell her(if they haven’t already.) that progress shouldn’t come right away and that it’s normal for it to take months to years to make a dent. 3. She’s still not ready mentally. She might not be ready mentally to take on her mental issues face on. And some other factors. So her just opening up that it’s been hard for her to keep up with the diet and that she feels even more depressed because of her poor choice, instead of making an excuse like she usually does. Is a step in the right direction!
But I totally agree with you about the staff feeling overwhelmed or stressed when having to care for Tammy. It seems like it would be a lot.(no hate towards her, Im trying to be sympathetic to both sides.)
I work at the hospital and im a pct one day we had a patient come in icu about Tammy size and around COVID . It look literally 10 of us just to transport him on a stretcher off the examination bed which is metal just to turn him over. He couldn’t fit in the beds i guess and he was a new admit but wasn’t conscious it was a lot going on with him but he was dead weight on top of his weight and I was just like wow . For my team
My thoughts also. I thought, I hope they warned 911 operator, because that would a special trip.
Dr. Smith is such a phenomenal doctor!! I'm not overweight, but I sincerely wish I had a doctor like him for my own personal health issues. I've had many that have contributed to my suffering, it would be such a gift to have someone like him.
I'm all in with the doctor on this one. I'm really proud of Tammy not because she gained more wight but she just admitted to herself that she has a food addiction and she's finding it really hard to stop! That's the definition of owning up to your problems and not blaming others or making up any excuses! Well Done Tammy!!! You got this! I know you can eventually make it! You have to believe in yourself!!!!!!!
Hmmmm
Can’t imagine how her heart has lasted all this long
Right???
I honestly don't know
Tammy is VERY lucky to be alive
Ikr, I know healthy people who died because of covid-19.
@@provrr oh really? It only affects people who are immunocompromised and not as healthy where I'm from...and if they're healthy and got it, it wasn't bad because of their strong immune system so I guess those people weren't as healthy as you thought.

I have been following Amy, Tammy, and Chris for years like a lot of us have. I really hope Tammy gets it together one day. I wish that for her. You can do it Tammy. I lost 80 lbs from diet and little exercise.
What did u eat
the doc has a very effective communicating strategy
Two thoughts: 1) I absolutely love Dr. Smith. He has so much empathy and passion for his work. He’s direct with them without making them feel bad about where they are right now. 2) When your weight loss journey becomes your career, does it make it even harder to lose the weight 🤔
Almost like they’re purposefully trying to drag the show on.
I agree 100% about Dr. Smith. Very good bariatric doctor, how he treats and respects the patients is wonderful. Are used to dread weigh in times, not because my doctor was mean or anything, I was just so afraid I went up and didn’t go down. I didn’t want to let my doctor down and he always would say you’re not letting me down you’re letting yourself down. I could see Dr. Smith doing the same. I really enjoy watching his interaction with the patients since I have been down that road before.
The fact she continues to gain weight every weight in is actually super impressive but impressive for all the wrong reasons
She could eat 3 double cheeseburgers every meal and still lose weight. She has got to be eating truck loads of food to get like this.
she’s fine.
She's probably burning over 4000 calories each day just being alive. You really have to work hard at that point to keep gaining weight.
Honestly I'm super proud of Tammy for realising and admitting that she has an addiction. That's a huge step in the right direction
Hmmmm
Bruh u kno how many she said this
Give me a fkxing break tlc needs to cancel her
I don't think Tammy realises how lucky she is to have a family as caring as hers .
Dr Smith always tries to find something positive and encouraging to say in any situation but the look on his face at 6:57 just screams, "Oh, shyte! NOW WHAT??" I was impressed that he still managed to find a nugget of optimism despite Tammy's weight gain. That takes talent.
Too bad the commenters don't have the same compassion the Doctor has.🥰
LITERALLY BRY
Amy is the sweetest. I’m really proud of Tammy admitting she has a problem, I really hope she can beat this addiction before it’s too late
Thank you for a positive comment regarding Tammy. Most are just haters, and I'm sure a large part of those commenters are overweight too. 🤗
i hope so too!
News about Tammy: she gained
It sounds like tammy is suffering from major depression and this will not be helping her she will only start to make progress when she is true Happy inside her self until this happens she will be stuck she just needs to find her happiness inside herself
@@1mjkennedy
I agree, but I believe she feels hopeless from the reality of trying to accomplish such an overwhelming fight.
I've watched some videos of people, just as large as she is, and in ONE year, they have remarkable results. Just ONE year.
I wish I could tell her, that ONE year is going to pass regardless of what she chooses to do, and one year is nothing, compared to the years she's been obese.
I have about 35 pounds to lose, and THAT seems overwhelming to me...AND depressing. I can only imagine how Tammy feels.😥
White Okay ruclips.net/user/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
I love how the doctor praises Tammy for her recognizing how she doesn't know how to stop, how the doctor sees that food is her survival tool from so much that has happened (and not happened) to her and to keep having those issues-coping still daily.
I was 513 lbs and had gastric sleeve surgery, had major complications and almost died a few times, and we lost our daughter after she was born due to a gastric leak and she passed from sepsis. Now I am not able to have anymore children nor do I have living children. If this doesn’t shock Tammy into doing what she needs to to survive nothing will. Almost dying hasn’t so I don’t know what will. She had so much life left in her. I hope she gets it together.
She loves the attention she isn't a nice person, Amy is a caring lovely person. 🌷
i mean imagine all the bullying she went through and still goes through, i feel like it would be super hard to be nice if you were her but i can see where you’re coming from she doesn’t seem appreciative at all
Amy still didn’t do what she needed to do. She is having a second baby. She wasn’t to have one yet. I don’t see them psychologically prepared. It’s borderline malpractice, in my opinion. All for ratings for shady TLC.
@@rosebudadkins6803 Capitalist exploitation doesn't care.
@@rosebudadkins6803 whatever she has a baby so everything bad amy has done we pretend never happened because baby and cuteness and awwwww and booo tammy. We are easily persuaded as an audience its hard to think for yourself.
Amy smoked through the first pregnancy and is still smoking, pregnant with the 2nd kid.
Amy is just as manipulative and a schemer, but hides it differently.
Food costs money ,i m amazed on how these ppl afford to eat that ammount of food
That’s my thought to
🤔
Food stamps ! Lazy people get rewarded . Trust me it’s $500 min a month
Food stamps honey
Finally, facing the fact that depression is a vicious cycle. I am so happy that Tammy said out loud that she doesn't know how to stop. It is an addiction, like so many people have with one thing or another. Honestly, despite all her attitude issues my heart goes out to her and in prayer I hope she gets the strength she needs...one hour at a time Tammy...slow but steady...prayers girl🙏🕊️😊🙏
I felt so bad for Chris when he said that he failed Tammy.He didn't fail Tammy,She failed herself
The amount of people who still have sympathy for this woman never ceases to amaze me. She’s got you hook, line & sinker, & she knows just what to say to the right people to get those sympathy votes rollin’ in. She’s had so much help handed to her on a platter it’s actually unbelievable; including for food addiction! You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. She’s foul mouthed, bad tempered, & think the world owes her a favour. If even an ounce of her wanted to lose weight, she’d have done it.
I am the BIGGEST advocate for food addiction & eating disorders, I’ve been diagnosed myself & struggle every day. I’m also not small - but I’m a lot smaller than I used to be. I also don’t care what size Tammy is, apart from the fact it’s evidently impacting her entire family (which she doesn’t seem to care much about). It’s her attitude I really can’t stand..& if you’ve ever been a long time viewer of her channel you know exactly what I mean. She knows just when to put those water works on.
I’m just so glad Amy & Chris got something out of this.
Glad to see someone say it
I totally agree…I wonder how long it will be till her body gives up, as it surely can’t go on much longer under all this stress…and before anyone comes for me I’m a big girl who has lost a lot of weight in the past and kept it off!
@Aculite Yes but it's legitimate. I use Tammy as an exercise and diet motivator. It's not her extreme obesity that motivates me but her toxic attitude and mindset. All I have to do to run an extra mile is watch 1000 lb sisters and see her ugly personality and weak will. I'd say I lost 20 lbs in the last month.
@@Orangestardust Tammy is a good "anti-drug" for bad attitudes
@Aculite not really that much frustration. And it’s warranted. Very annoying to see people on TV vying for sympathy and making excuses. People with common sense will see right through it. People like you will buy into that shit and feel sorry for her, further enabling her behavior. You are part of the problem pal.
Tammy admitting she cant stop and she has an addiction is the step in the right direction. for once she didnt point fingers. I hope she can work through her addiction with her doctor!
Emily I totally agree with you. Tammy might be starting to face her demon. It is SO HARD.
I love how caring Amy is towards her sister💗
Dr. Smith is such an amazing doctor! He is so motivating and so committed to helping Tammy.
I'm proud of you Tammy for telling him what's wrong.and being honest
I’m not. Ppl like her need to be eliminated from society

@@pepironi992 You mean like that guy whose picture you use for your profile? True. He belongs in jail.
I do not know they dragging the inevitable out for the show but it was obvious way back she can not manage this by her self. Trouble being she is compos mentis and unless she gets diagnosed otherwise she will always get the last word and therefore get what she wants. If family want to change things around and save her from total self destruction they need to stop all the wrong food coming to her and her place of home. Simple as that but its been shown and we seen sister and others still bring her the wrong food. So it continues ....
this doctor is such a sweetheart... dr now would not have this level of patients LOL
Patience?
@@AseAleisha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 screaming
My mom was an emotional eater and got to over 500lbs when I was a kid. It took her years to get under 400lbs. At that weight, it can be hard to lose it. Emotionally and physically. It is like hauling around a few full grown adults.
🙏🏽😔😇.. bless her
Dr Smith is such a kind person
I hope Tammy makes it on this journey. She's cheated death many times, she's got a guardian angel looking out for her
I do too. She's been through a lot of trauma in her life nd nobody deserves to suffer like this and then pass away because of this
yeah her gravitational force keeps the angel within her orbit
Fax its crazy
@@TheALLisMind.TheMindisALL her food addiction is caused by trauma in her life, and people that go through trauma the pain can manifest in different ways, different struggles, possibly different addictions. You can joke and laugh, but someone's pain and ability to cope with that pain isn't a joking matter when her life is on the line. I think intense counseling therapy, that Tammy accepts, is the key to her success.
Tammy is probably reading these comments with a pile of nachos
665lb is 47 and a half stone for any Brits reading.
No Chris you didn’t fail you can’t help someone who won’t help themselves.
Amy is such a good sister, God bless her💕
I'm really like this new doctor. He seems completely understanding and is super patient, which in some ways is a bad thing. But he tries his hardest not to completely shit on them.
Idk how the doctor was able to spin that in a positive way. His response to both their failed goals is nothing short of impressive.
Literally 😭 give That man a raise 🤣
Dr Smith is great, caring, understanding, patient!
I love how straight forward but kind their doctor is. You can tell he really cares about Tammy and only wants to help her. I hope he can help get her on the right track. I don’t care for her, but I do give her credit for admitting finally that she needs help and that she feels she cannot stop without help.
Oh no,… poor poor Tammy! I’m cheering for you Tammy…
I really want to see actually what Tammy eats every day how much. She needs to do a video of like those RUclips channels do that are titled “ what I eat in a day” lol really Al curious though they never talk about what she eats and actually how much all day.
Very good point.

There are no words for someone who refuses to help themselves.
Chris is so amazing. He admitted he was not doing his best and will get the rest of it off. Tammy is still a 665, and counting, pound baby who will never stop whining
I am so happy that Tammy admitted what she is actually dealing with. The vulnerability she just displayed when she always tries so hard to protect herself is powerful. It really feels like she's getting close to turning around. Hopefully with therapy she can start addressing those issues and making real progress on her health and positive changes in her relationships.
Tammy gurls been in therapy forever if it still hasn’t changed her view how will it now?
What a lovely comment! 🥰
@@marvelgurl3581 she's never had 1on1 mental health therapy that she was open to. It was always forced. I think that is a big difference. I work with mh concerns daily at work and have taken course work. The biggest part is admittance of a problem and a desire to change. I think she finally has both.
What a wonderful doctor they have. He doesn't put them down when they fail to meet their goals. If only all doctors could take a lesson from this humane and kind doctor.
Tammy has many hearts like that of a cat and a sweet sister who loves her very much...get well Tammy
Proud of you Tammy for admitting that, been waiting so long for you to not blame others. Progress 100%
Please correct me but isn't this an old episode. ?
@@taintedmuse6169 yes

Yes she’s such a lovely soul I agree with you Melissa
Tammy's body no longer looks like a human body...it's genuinely scary.

At least Tammy is being fully honest now. She’s not denying anything. That’s a HUGE step.
I hope she finds the inner strength to want to live. Just recently recovered from Covid myself and I’ve got to say that it did make me think about my health more seriously and push me to make better choices, so there is hope Tammy will do the same. I’m worried she has already given up and just doesn’t want to be here because of the depression.
Loved her sister calling it..." The Rona"🙏❤️

Amy loves her sister so freaking much !!!!!!! She will not know how to feel when she is gone thats her sister to the moon and back 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Amy is truly the cutest most caring person ever
AMY IS SO FREAKING CUTE! 😫😫💕💕 WHEN SHE WAS TALKING TO TAMMY FROM OUTSIDE WITH HER WITTLE HANDS AGAINST THE GLASS! 🥺💙💙 Man, I wish my sister was as goofy and attentive. 😮💨
I wish I had a sister
The first thing to do is check emotional health. Reminding her she's making a "bad" choice is not okay.
This doctor is so lovely! You could see the dissapointed in his eyes. :(
I am a retired RN. I struggle with weight too. My sister's obesity was a factor in her own recent death. Tammy is like a terminally ill patient who needs Hospice. This is so hard to watch because I feel that the end is near. God bless her. I pray she is prepared for any outcome.
What is it going to take ?
To make you realize you are going to die!
Very sad 😢 I wish you happiness and good health to come your way
Shes done
I agree
Chris should be proud of his slow but steady progress and no way feel "like I've failed as a diet buddy" because his sister feels entitled to eat whatever, whenever. That's her choices not Chris's.
I know this is an old episode, but I just love how Amy talks to Tammy, she's HILARIOUS!
I feel compassion for Tammy, I love that she was able to admit bingeing for depression. Self sabotage is deadly strong! Hoping for her
She still doesn't realize how lucky she made it thru that at her size.im praying she makes some big changes 🙏❤️
the few times I've watched this show - I continue to be amazed at how often Tammy blames and diverts responsibility. This has been going on for years. I'm not sure - but I think the net weight loss for Tammy is actually a weight gain. It's very sad. These two have a great love for one another and an incredible way of finding humor in their day to day existence. I really hope they both get healthy. How great would it be to re-visit these two in 20 years?!?!!
Bless their heart and grant them the motivation needed to be successful in all future endeavors 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She needs to be doing the therapy by herself and no cameras. As long as there’s cameras present she will not feel comfortable talking about deep traumas. She needs that therapy more than anything right now.
Amy: i wish you could hold the baby :.(
Tammy: (coughs at her)
Halley, I caught that too
I know exactly why she’s gaining weight. I’ve been through it so many times myself. When you go on a diet, and this is for people who have no idea what it’s like to be morbidly obese which is what the doctors office calls it. But anyway when you go on a diet, it’s generally not “we’re just cutting out soda“ or “I’m just not going to eat out”. You’re going for example from a speeding train to a bowl of half set Jell-O. I heard that said one time and it’s a pretty good example. L O L. It’s a drastic difference.
So when you first start out it’s excruciatingly hard. You go from eating out, eating sweets, drinking sweet tea and/or sodas, eating candy, cookies, ice cream… You name it. Now you’re eating apples and bananas and salads with hardly any salad dressing on it. It feels like you’re eating just lettuce in a bowl. If you get a hamburger, and that would be considered a big splurge , you would have to get it with no mayonnaise no bacon no cheese. So after you’ve been doing this for a while, you start spiraling mentally. This is a mental struggle as much as it is physical. Actually more mental than it is physical.
The people who go to be evaluated to see if they can have bariatric surgery in order to lose weight are evaluated mentally. And that’s because drastically cutting your food intake does make you spiral. You have to be well enough mentally to even have it done.
For someone who deals with depression, and I’m guessing that Tammy probably does (depression for everyone isn’t the same… I was in my teens and was having severe depression and anxiety and didn’t know it. It came out as anger for me. I was a lot like her), “going on a diet“ May not be quite as drastic as bariatric surgery, but to her it feels like it.
She’s still having an extreme drastic change which takes every bit of your mental energies to just get through it.
So going back to my original statement about I know why she is gaining weight. Because by the time you get to that spiraling point after you have dealt mentally and physically with the drastic changes, you say “I just really want a hamburger.” But I’ll get right back on my diet! I just need this one thing. So you go to Wendy’s and get a cheeseburger with everything on it. Actually I liked the double. 🥴. All of a sudden your depression, your body, your anxiety, your mental struggle is completely gone for the moment. You feel so darn good not just because you’re eating something that tastes a lot better, but you are feeling so very much better because all of the bad that you’ve been through for days or weeks or even months has suddenly vanished. THAT is why she’s gaining. She starts good, but then when everything crashes around her, she says I just want one thing but that one thing takes away the world crashing around her it makes everything better again. Once you have that “just one thing“, it’s very difficult to make your mind up to go back to the depression/anxiety/physical and mental struggles of losing weight that you know from experience is what is waiting for you. How many of you could leave a vacation on the beach to voluntarily go to prison? That might sound kind of extreme to you, but what she is going through is extreme. Some of you need to cut her some slack.
It’s easy for us to sit and judge her. Even people who have been big. Because your experience may not be exactly what she’s going through. I didn’t have bariatric surgery because my insurance won’t pay for it. However I have now lost almost 80 pounds. But I also still have over 100 pounds to lose. So I know what I’m talking about.
My weight loss started when I got Covid. I lost 17 pounds within 14 days. After that, I lost a little by little simply because I hadn’t been eating hardly a thing. Plus I still felt not quite up to par. So because I had such a great head start ”, I tried to cut out sweets. I was very successful. Altogether I think I lost around 35 pounds maybe when I suddenly got parosmia. It is a long term effect of Covid which starts about three months after you have Covid. It’s a small percentage of the population that have it, but you can look it up. It’s real and it’s devastating. Suddenly meat, onions, garlic And most hot foods meaning cooked, hot to the touch… Not spicy hot… , chocolate, nuts, beans also are rank. Most of those foods smell like rotten meat. So I was trying to lose weight and all of a sudden almost the only things I can eat are sweet. After a month of that I was so upset that I had went back to eating sweets that I made up my mind that I was just going to have to find other things to eat. Skip to today because it’s a long drawn out process. There were times when I could only eat 400 to 600 cal per day, but I’m back up to around 800 to 1200 cal per day. From November until now I’ve lost over 50 pounds. The only sweets that I eat now are pears and Jell-O. Getting enough protein is impossible, so finally I’ve resorted to ordering bariatric vitamins which does increase your iron intake which is crucial. The actual proteins I still struggle with. On a good day I might get 30 or 30+ grams of protein. I’m supposed to be getting 60 g per day. The only soups I can eat are tomato, cream of celery or mushroom, and miso. But they are the bulk of my diet. When I eat salad, I can’t have peppers, onions, and the only salad dressing I’ve found that I can tolerate is the refrigerated blue cheese which is expensive, thick and full of calories. So basically I don’t enjoy a lot of what I eat but I have to eat it just to survive. And I’m still deprived of protein. Most people with us end up losing a lot of their hair and muscle mass. So life is just wonderful right now. 😆 but I do admit that it did help me lose that 50 pounds after I had already lost about 30.
You talk a hell of a lot of sense. Congratulations on losing so much weight already. With your intuition you're bound to succeed 😍

Very well said and explained; I completely agree that people love to judge Tammy without empathy or understanding external factors contributing to her journey. Btw Congratulations 🎉 on your weight loss success!! Keep going, have an amazing day! 🥳💜
@@vatsalasaxena8430 thank you ! 🥰
YOU GOT THIS CHRISSS!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING AND WORTHY TO BE ON THIS PLANET💞💞💞
I cried when Tammy explained she couldn't stop eating. She has a food addiction and she acknowledged it. I want to give Tammy the biggest hug, I understand her pain and how food can be like a torture. We have to eat. Most addictions you get clean and don't abuse your drug of choice again if you can. Imagine having to get clean when the drug of choice is food, and you have to have it every day, in small portions.
I click on these thinking they’re new lol 😂
Wow she’s close to 700! Right now I’m 290 I wanna be 280 so bad I guess I should count my blessings.. praying for Tammy

@@Mistydawn1 you tell them. The best way to lose weight is to have a goal and to WANT to lose weight. And it sounds like you do. Follow through for yourself! It’s all about you. I believe you can get to 280. Good luck!
