Hell, it's not even her not help herself, she treats OTHERS that are helping her like shit, and refusing actual help to better her life. I have absolutely no sympathy for her.
"I'd rather hang out with you guys than my family any day" what a slap in the face to her family that's done literally everything they can for her. Smh...
That's because of the alcohol levels in her blood I guess, alcohol numbs the pain, and I wouldn't call it exactly her "friends" though. More like people who leeched of her status as a "celebrity" and wanted to be in the spotlight for a few minutes. And when Tammy eventually dies they'd all be laughing about it, like remember guys when we fed that f*t chick alcohol shots and pizza and we were on camera doing it. Good times man, good times..
@@pagalmasala soo true. They definitely just love that they’re on tv. They don’t actually care about Tammy but encouraging her to add harmful toxins into her body the way she is.
yup! and the way she walked into the doctors office that one ep with no help, yet before that was claiming she can’t walk and wanted her nurse to push her
The fact that she’s so miserable living in that body that she equates getting most likely blackout drunk every single night and being intoxicated with happiness is so sad and pathetic. Finding happiness in your friends is one thing, but the only reason she’s so “happy” with those friends is because they enable her. They’re “fun” because they don’t hold her accountable and let her do whatever she wants. The moment one of them says “maybe you shouldn’t have that 12th slice of pizza” shes gonna go off about how no one can handle her being her and how she doesn’t understand why everyone can’t just leave her alone. The moment any of them break her fantasy illusion that she’s not borderline bedridden and that she’s just an easy going party girl who all of her friends love (also notice how all of her party friends are men… that’s always a red flag but especially in this case I feel she surrounds herself with men so she can feel like men desire her in anyway and she can receive validation from them. How do I know? Because I was an insecure chubby girl in school and would be the “just one of the guys!” Girl so boys would like me and give me validation even if it wasn’t romantic at all). If she wants to do shit to her body to feel in control of it in some way, she should do a shit ton of mushroom because she’ll either have a horrible time and just never wanna do shrooms again, or she’s gonna have an ego death and be confronted with ALL the bullshit she’s been trying so hard to ignore and deny and maybe actually do something about her extreme obesity.
Your point about mushrooms was something I had wondered. Clearly nothing has worked for Tammy this far and she might actually be open to a trip. Maybe she'd experience an ego death or something and it would break her out of this cycle
I wish I could like your comment a thousand times! You just hit the nail on the head. I'm sorry you know this because you went through something similar. I hope you're doing better now! Without having to do a shit ton of mushrooms to figure it out 😅
She's suicidal and depressed. Therapy would be way more useful and meaningful than any psychedelic trip. If there is any drug she should be taking it is ketamine not shrooms. Ketamine treatment has actually been researched and proven to have consistent positive effects unlike shrooms(which have inconsistent effects and are illegal in the USA). Ketamine treatment is also done in a medical setting surrounded by actual professionals that care about your mental health (and not a-hole "friends" that are terrible trip sitters and generally terrible people that get a kick out of giving people a bad trip!). I personally never surrounded myself with those kinds of people but I know some people who have and they have trust issues now. There is also far worse things that can happen to someone from a bad trip than never wanting to do the drug again. Especially for their first time. She needs help not hell...and please don't preach irresponsible drug use. A lot of people try high dose psychedelics for the "ego death" experience and it does not end well for these inexperienced users.
@@littlebigeats7682 yeah I think her attempts at therapy on the show failed because they continued to film her. She deserves real professional therapeutic help.
I think youi're projecting a bit there! I agree about the ego death though, if not the mushrooms to achieve it. Sleep deprivation is another way to it. However both are dangerous, I don't know if her body would cope.
Chris is really the only reason I watch anymore. He does what he needs to and doesn't take any BS from Tammy. He should get a spin off to show what his life is like post-surgery.
No. No one WANTS to save Tammy anymore. They're all tired. They want to live their own lives again. It is a shame, but I do not have sympathy for people who self-inflict for attention. Tammy is a self-victim. Does it for attention but then complains about the attention she gets. Nope. It's a shame to say, but I'm done with caring about her. She has enough self-love for herself to cover everyone in chat here.
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear timo
@@timomajere he’s quoting the song ‘Complicated’ by Avril Lavigne. I looked at his channel he’s super weird, probably just trying to hijack a potential top comment.
Every time I watch Tammy, I'm shocked that I can get more angry and disgusted than I was before. I did watch an episode on the actual TH-cam channel and the amount of comments telling Tammy they were proud of her and were supporting her were nauseating. The episode was where the doctor goes to her house to talk to her. She said she didn't know how to ask for help. All she's been given was help! I was furious. She's a lost cause.
Tammy is an addict. She has used food to cope with distress her entire life and, as a result, she has the emotional maturity of a pre-teen. She views all the help offered to her as attacks against her, which is probably why she lashes out with personal attacks (eg: "fine. Maybe I did gain 50 pounds in a month, but _YOU_ did [insert unrelated thing]!") It's sad and frustrating to watch as an adult but, if you try to view it through Tammy's warped, self-victimizing lens, it's somewhat easier to understand why she's so angry when people try to save her. (Easy to _understand,_ not agree with, for the record.)
@@kingayy9267 her emotional maturity is nothing to do with her addiction it's not like a meth addiction that alters the brain, she's just a big child, she probably actually wants to be skinny but really NOTHING is going to make her give up food or her selfish ways because....she simply doesn't want it enough. People want her to loose weight a million times more than she actually wants it, if everyone left her alone she would happily die with a pizza in hand blaming EVERYONE ELS for being to LAZY to look after her LAZY ass
@@kingayy9267 But she went to get help from her food addiction and she did amazing progress and lost some weight, then she decided to go back home and fck her life up again for no reason. I feel like she knows what she is doing and if the show ends and ppl ignore her, maybe then she will try hard enough to lose weight so that ppl give her attention again because yaaay she lost weight and finally made it.
Yep, people applaud her… for what?!? She’s killin herself but blaming her family and the world! She’s had every opportunity to get better, but she doesn’t give a sh*t. It’s disgusting.
Amy has had a child and is making life moves, she's growing up finally. Tammy obviously doesn't understand the whole growing up part, as a person. Where she is in her health, she can't be acting like that and saying it's self love. She can't do 3 steps, but she thinks drinking will fix everything?
Precicely. I'd say she won't change until the spotlight is taken off of her, but at this point I'm not sure anything would change her or make her want to get healthier short of MAYBE being bed bound -- which she's already insanely close to. Either way TLC shouldn't be airing this. We're just watching her die and goodness forbid anyone be influenced by her to live a life like this. There's a lot of desperate people out there who would do anything for clout or attention :/
I love how we see Amy accomplishing so many milestones in her life. She lost weight, had a beautiful baby, bought her own home and is trying to be a supportive and loving sister. Then we see Tammy. Weighing more than when this all started and playing the victim card. Slowly killing her self in front of millions.
Taking advantage of it all , each in their own way , & TLC for whatever reason other then ratings, would air this s#$t for as long as it has been aired , is obvious in itself 💯
Fr. This is gonna sound bad, but I would leave her there and force her to lose weight. When she comes back and exhibits unhealthy habits, reverting back to how she was before therapy, I'd remove her access to unhealthy foods. I'd literally do anything to save her, even if she hated me for it. At least she'd be alive to hate me.
@@altoassassin me too. Maybe cuz i grew up in a strict household but id be so hard on her i swear. Id literally only supply the house in healthy foods and make them the only source of food she has. Shed have a cheat day once a month IF she behaved and lost a certain amount of weight each time. But even those days would be limited. Id send her to rehab and leave her, telling them not to listen to her and if she forcefully came back id drive her there again after a single week of "freedom." I wouldnt buy her an electronic wheelchair, id make her wheel herself or WALK for crying out loud. And most of all id give her support each time and give her little things when she accomplishes a goal. I swear if this was in my control she wouldnt be acting like this and she'd be living for a good while. She would hate me and dread every day, but its better than having your sister or daughtor die because they cant take care of themselves.
yes!! I would love more episodes centered around Amy. but tlc only premieres what clicks, and sadly, that's Tammy's negativity and consistent downward spiral :/
I would love a show just about Amy's story and future - she's done so well and grown so much. I can't be a voyeur to Tammy acknowledging her own imminent death and using the people who love her.
So I watched the whole season, so spoilers Tammy at the end ended up asking for help, she was ready for help and went to therapy. Unfortunately, her lungs collapsed and she went into a coma, now she has lost about 50 plus pounds, and is trying her hardest. She is a walking miracle
Tammy is like a lung cancer patient who continues to smoke 6 packs a day and complains other people didn't stop her from smoking. At least she makes for good entertainment from you two.
As someone who’s tried to lose weight my whole life it’s almost insulting to see tammys behaviour. She has access to so many resources that not many people do and she just turns around and spits in everyone’s faces at every corner.
Drinking alcohol can actually slow down weight loss a lot. It's extra calories and it occupies your liver instead of allowing it to process fat. I'm not surprised she's had such a tough time losing weight.
Honestly, I think Tammy officially gave up. I think some of us thought she gave up a long time ago but I think there was a bit of hope within her until now. I think she gave up and is trying have fun in the last few months, years, etc. she got. It’s extremely sad to witness because now everyone (including her) is waiting for the day her heart gives out. Extremely sad.
Her family will be sad but they will also be relieved. They did everything they could. Especially Amy and Chris. They dont need to feel guilty. They gave Tammy every chance, every bit of support to their own detriment. But she truly is their abuser.
It's nice to know when you give up on yourself, your family does too. God bless America, perfect culture of self obsessed hateful scum. They used to have a help line now they put you on TLC to prove no one cares.
@@MeraOnMars and you can't help someone who doesn't want your help even if you can clearly see that they need your help, u just can't force it, i really hope chris and amy wont feel bad or regretful after that
I watched this epiode the other day, and Amy is moving HALF AN HOUR away! If Tammy actually cared, she'd get her ass out and visit her nephew and sister. Best friend? Yeah no, best caregiver more likely.
She degrades her body as a form of manipulation and it's worked for years. Really entertaining watching her self destruct thinking she is getting some form of petty vengeance. It's why I play my internet bill.
This show was meant to show us two sisters in their weight loss journeys so that we would become emotionally invested and supportive. Now that Tammy has given up on it, there's no purpose for the show anymore. That's why we lost interest in it. There's no point in hating Tammy or being fed up with her. It's her decision to make. It doesn't matter if you care about her; she will live her life the way she wants. We all (including her family) have to move on and let her be. This story already reached a conclusion. There is nothing left.
Supposedly Tammy is actually losing weight now after season 3, something about going to a weight loss place and losing at least 115 pounds. She's been fairly quiet on social media, but I think she mentioned that it would be covered in season 4? I don't know how accurate this is, but if it's true then maybe she's finally putting in some effort to be healthy.
Tammy is so privileged. I come from a very small town in South Africa. The fact that she has so much food, medical attention and psychiatric help but she doesn't appreciate the help and she's killing herself with food, bothers me. I know many people who would greatly benefit from medical or psychiatric care, not to mention a good meal.
Maybe she just isn't capable. Like we wouldn't expect certain people who can't learn well, to learn all things. So maybe she's just not capable of anything that we're expecting or thinking she could do. Just a thought
@@suzannenichols6900 if she’s capable of putting food in her mouth all day, and make excuses for it, she’s capable of putting healthier food in and being responsible for herself. She’s a grown adult, not a child.
11:56 that shot is insane to see the true size difference between them now. You could literally fit to Amy’s inside of Tammy. Props to Amy for getting her shit together and caring about her life, Tammy gonna end up dying sad and alone
Tammy talking about eating bread to “soak up the alcohol” reminds me of Amy in the first season saying their mom told them if they eat “a sugar”, drinking a diet soda will cancel it out
@@brandythompson2171 the capitalization of nuts just instantly reminded me of Arin Hanson’s famous quote “Suzy (incoherent mumbling) Santa’s going NUTS” lmao but I feel like everyone knows that if you eat before drinking, the food in your stomach makes the alcohol absorb slower so you don’t get as drunk as fast. Not bread specifically though, but that’s what I always heard growing up
everybody knows if you eat greasy savory food while drinking it helps your body not feel so sick. Not sure why it works, but it's a cure as ancient as time.
@@charliedeegan1598 girl what? That dumb ass myth has nothing to with American education system, should I remind you how many doctors nurses scientists astronauts biologist archaeologist surgeons anesthesiologist optometrist ophthalmologist podiatrist gastroenterologist etc there are in America not to mention lawyers judges police officers firefighters teachers. There are lots of smart people here in America some people choose to make their own dumbass decisions do not blame the country of America as a whole and if you are not from America please mind the business that pays you thank you!
Honestly, I come from a family of addicts. My dad passed away from alcoholism. Tammy is an addict. As much as you love them, and want the best for them, there's a point where you just have to surrender and let things go. Not because you don't love them and not because you're selfish, but because it's the only thing left to do. This comes after years and years of forgiveness, second chances, ultimatums, arguing, money spent, time spent, emotions being fully drained. What happens after that is end-stage addiction and Tammy's there.
YOu give up trying to change them, but there is no need to give up on loving them, or being in their lives to a safe extent. Only if they are a danger to you should you abandon. I know it's hard to watch a person destroying themselves slowly, but truth is, they'll do it whether you watch or not, and after they are gone, you'll regret it if you abandon them entirely. I'm talking simple things, phone calls on birthdays, cards, and telling them you love them. Turning your back on a loved one is the last resort. I know sometimes we need to, but if you don't, keep loving them because you will anyway, so may as well let them know.
@@davidmoyes7010 he didn't pretend to want to lose weight tho. He chose to be unhealthy and used his veganism making him sick as an excuse at first, and now does it for content and money. My guy is rich from getting fatter
I just want to thank you guys for being a bright spot through my depression. I spend so much time unhappy and miserable, but when I watch your videos I always feel better. ☺️ Thank you. ❤️
When my grandma kept telling my grandfather to go to the doctor for something and he refused. She’ll tell him “Well die then” It was years of him choosing to stay sick or his body hurting, but she was tired of being the voice of reason. I think this family is there.
I’m thinking Tammy’s embarrassed of struggling up the steps in front of the cameras, knowing the whole world will see. But then contradicts herself by being self destructive. She needs to be honest with herself.
My 3 year old son loves when I watch you guys. He says “It’s Ken and Buffpro?” and then starts cracking up everytime you guys laugh. Your laughs are contagious and we love you guys.
I love how Ken's commentary regarding Tammy has gradually changed from "wholesome" to "I'm done." 😅 I was at that point with her by the end of Season 1 and my disdain for her has only increased throughout the following 2 seasons. I tried to be hopeful but she's been nothing but one excuse after another.
I don't know how it happened that I got invested in Tammy's well being - considering I dislike reality TV lol - but I really fear that the show has enabled her destructive behaviors. I'm caught between wanting the show to continue because I'd like to know she's still alive and well, but also thinking the show should be cancelled because I think it isn't doing her mental state any favors.
the story of her going to family member to family member shows she had an horrible attitude way before the show. she only got herself to blame, ..but she ll keep blaming everyone around camera or not.
She would have gotten to this state without the TV show, she has set her self up for death before the show, she gave up, and whether or not it was filmed, she will get closer to death. As sad as it is to say, I don't see her coming back although she still possibly come, however with some possible severe issues after.
If they didn't have a shoe I guarantee she'd be losing weight. If she's not doing it on purpose the attention that show gives her DOES enable her behavior. She thinks it's cool and funny
I completely agree with you..it’s very sad but I think mentally doing the show, her attitude has kinda stayed negative because she knows what people think of her. She is constantly reminded through cameras that everyone is watching and she’s helpless so she stays there. She CAN get better, but she won’t 😔 I was rooting for her too. It’s absolutely her fault, but we as her audience didn’t help much with our comments. It’s hard to explain, but the mind can turn into a toxic place if you don’t use it right. I believe Tammy never took control of her own life because if she did none of us would be here:/
This show has been the greatest hell she ever had. She was a toxic and grossly overweight person all her life before the show and still is with the show. At least the show got her in touch with an amazing health care team and is likely paying all the bills and got Chris and Amy on track to show her how it can be done. But she just doesn't care. She wants an easy way out that doesn't exist.
i can understand amy’s want to have tammy support her. tammy is her big sister; and little sisters want their older siblings to be proud of them. i feel so bad for amy 🥺
First off, Ken i freakin love that shirt!! Second: At this point, just let Tammy do whatever she's gonna do. I know they want her to live and such, but she has yet to give a crap. Lol. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink it"
Tammy calls these people her family because they enable her self-destruction, but if she deteriorates to the point where she can't party anymore, they'll drop her like a hot potato.
Tammy just "wants to be happy", but she doesn't know how to go from where she is and what she's experiencing to get to the point where she can be, and every time, EVERY TIME someone tries to help her, she *doesn't want to be helped or happy like that*. She is suffering horribly from psychological damage and the only thing she can think to do about it is to physically damage herself to match. This show is self-torture porn.
Tammy suffered from carbon dioxide poising, which means that her lungs weren't able to expell the CO2 in her body. that's why she needed the trachea. It's sad
Respiratory therapist here. Most people I've seen with emphysema are actually thin especially end stage. Chronic bronchitis you may see more rounded individuals. We have that pink puffers and blue bloater thing. Look up pink puffers and blue boaters and you'll see an image of what i mean. But what potential respiratory conditions I see with Tammy's weight more are with CHF (potential because pulmonary edema) or obesity hypoventilation syndrome which the latter is what I may assume she suffered from. Not so much copd which is what emphysema and chronic bronchitis would be under. Though given her vaping, she may have a history of smoking and certainly that could still be a thing. But, I don't know her medical history. She has a massive restriction on her lungs given her weight. It is easy to assume that she cannot get the proper lung volume to ventilate (blow off that CO2) which could be a reason why she had too much of it. Hypoventilation syndrome is VERY common with Tammy like sizes.. Obviously, I'm not her doctor or even a doctor at all but I only commented because I really haven't met an emphysema pt her size (not saying they don't exist) but seeing that comment was a bit weird.
Often self-love and self-care aren't about doing what feels good to you at the moment, but rather what's actually good FOR you, i.e. taking care of your health, finances etc. Tammy seems to be unwilling to do any of the work - mentally or physically, this tells me that she'll probably never change. Unless there is some huge external stressor or event to shake her up and even that's no guarantee. It's all denial, childish defiance, selfishness and unwillingness to take responsibility for her own life. It's sad to see. She's a lot like Eugenia Cooney, only on the other side of the weight spectrum. Edit: Misspelled Name
Exactly. When my depression is horrible and I can't get out of bed, it might feel better to tell myself I can stay there for ~*self care*~ but then in the morning my laundry is still dirty and my groceries still haven't been bought. Sometimes self care is forcing yourself to do the absolute bare minimum so future you can thrive a little better, rather than languishing because it feels nicer in the moment.
That self love line I've heard over and over again, and not just with addicts, I feel like people just use it as an excuse to let go and concede that they don't want to change and will never do so.
Totally agree. I like having a drink now and again, and I do consider it part of my ritual of self love, but it’s part of a balanced lifestyle. Eating shit, and getting drunk make you feel like shit. Where’s the love in that?
Exactly. Self love is about doing what is best for you and what you need. My self care looks a lot different than someone else’s. I have bad depression and anxiety and I often force myself to go go go every second of every day, I don’t take time off and I feel guilty not being productive. For my self care I will try to let myself sleep in, or take more time in the morning, or take a break when cleaning or running errands, and this is hard to do! So many people think self care is just easy and chill and whatever they want, but that’s just self indulgence
there is a limit to how much self destruction family and loved ones will tolerate before they cut themselves loose from your sinking ship of a life. Tammy you have reached that point.
Spoiler alert, in the last episode of the season, she goes back to rehab but a day after she arrives there, she goes to the hospital and goes into a coma where the doctors tell the family that they may have to start planning a funeral. Thankfully she ended up waking up from the coma and goes back to rehab. About a month after the season ended, she posted that she had lost 100 pounds during rehab. So yeah she ends up getting better and actually starts to be serious about losing weight. Also reason why she goes back to rehab is because the doctor dude ends up coming to her house and talks her into going back to rehab.
Wonder how long that will last. What is crazy is if she even cut her calories DOWN to 3500, she would lose like 300 pounds in like eighteen months. I guarantee she is at least 6000 cal a day.
are they really her friends though? they are literally enabling her in every way! if they were really her friends they would have the same concerns as her family.. do they not realize she's dying? no no have some pizza.. you can barely breathe but oh well VAPE AWAY AND EAT SOME PIZZA FRIEND😂 they need to start planning her funeral or something infront of her because how is this women gonna wake up and realise she needs to fkn move.. also how is she partying she can't move😂.... does she not realise nothing matters unless she loses weight. she could win the lottery and it will mean nothing because at the end of the day she won't be able to live. the most upsetting thing about this is if she does pass away. the trauma for the family is going to be awful for a very long time, maybe for the rest of their lives
EXACTLY! Were these folks her friends before the show? Or have they conveniently latched on for her money and to get on TV? (I genuinely don't know, but I'm assuming the latter).
@@Neeneenugget they are definitely here because of the show. I feel the disgust they really have for the lady. they need to be drunk to hang out with her
I agree with you on her family should start planning her funeral arrangements. "Here's your casket or urn. What songs would you like to be played? What pictures would you like to have? Here's your plot. Which headstone do you prefer? What would you like us to put on your headstone?" But even if they went down that path to try and wake her TF up she STILL wouldn't give a shit
I feel like they have bad intentions for her. They're giving her alcohol and junk food and getting her to vape on-camera and encouraging her self-destructive behaviors. I don't trust these guys at all. They're pretending to be her friends, either because they want attention from being on tv, or because they want to see her fail and self-destruct. Everyone who actually cares about her has given up because she won't save herself, so she's left with people who don't care if she lives, or even those who would see her die. They're using her.
The moment she realizes dancing qualifies as exercise, she’s probably stop. Amy tried to get her the hula hoop exercise thing. Amy and Tammy both went swimming then the nurse took Tammy to the pool. Tammy liked swimming (it seems) but hated the idea of exercise
@@msmaria5039 when someone is at that level of obesity, even the most basic tasks burn tons of calories and work multiple muscle groups. it takes so much energy to carry an excess of 400-500 pounds on your body.
The irony is Tammy isn't lacking self-love, in fact she has too much self loving that she has developed soo much entitlement and has become so self-absorbed. She needs to face reality.
Self love isn't destroying your body. That's literally self hatred. I used to starve myself out of self hatred. And for ages I didn't want to change. It's the same thing as self harm
I agree with the other comments. This isn't self-love. If she loved herself she wouldn't do this to her body nor her relationships Narcissism, entitlement, putting others down, etc... All of that's self-hatred disguised as "self-love". Nobody who loves themselves has to feel like they're above others. The fact that she thinks this is "loving herself" really sad.
Honestly, I understand Tammy’s attitude. I’ve had it myself.. Only difference is that I was a teenager going through puberty, and she’s a 35 year old grown ass woman……
Amy’s already a mother of one, maybe expecting another, and she has to deal with a literal infant around her age (aka Tammy). Like okay Tammy? Literally who cares? Who cares about you and your attitude again?
Tammy is the definition of a toxic narcissist. If they re up the show I hope they exclude her from it. I’d rather watch the positive changes in the rest of the family.
I've been waiting for you to come to this part, and it was worth the wait!!! Plus, I think this is the fastest we've ever seen Tammy move! The hustling to the car so they could get alcohol.
Tammy: I'm completely aware that I'm doing more damage to my body, but no worries! Also Tammy: I'm not taking that step because I might fall and hurt myself.
Y'all my dad acts just like Tammy. Gotta be the victim, never his fault, everyone is attacking him, the list goes on. It's exhausting. I understand how hard it had to be for Amy to say that she's moving because I remember the same stress. Bruh don't miss it!
She’s full on narcissistic. It’s unfortunately common in people and it’s gross. These ....(insert favorite word of expression here) are going to ruin their lives and anyone that allows it.
@@CreativeCreatorCreates oh yeah exactly like my dad. I'm currently going through a serious rough patch with him because I just celebrated the 2 year death of my daughter and he wanted to text me about how "he doesn't deserve the punishment of a crime he doesn't know he committed". Because I don't want to stir the pot, I just left it alone. I feel like I have so many things I need to say but I already know exactly how he's going to respond to everything and it's exactly like Tammy. "If you aren't with me, you're against me."
It's very hard to deal with people like this, then they try to build all this guilt on to you because you don't want to be a part of that toxic relationship. Specially when it's not just a family member it's a parent. I feel this very deeply
My mum is similar. Except whenever anything bad happens to me and I have issues with my BPD or depression, she somehow makes herself the victim. I don't like talking much... somehow that means I'm punishing her (a small example). I got a boyfriend at 17, apparently that was me being disrespectful and she did everything in her power to ruin my life as a result (told my teaches to not let me leave school for lunch, called and kidnapped my bf to try and turn him against me, grounded me for 3 months and took away everything in my room, called me a prostitute, would assume I'm off sleeping with my bf if I was 5 mins late from school and kick up a fuss, told the whole family about me..... the list of things went on)... when I think about it I'm pretty sure she is the reason I'm fucked up. I can't wait to get enough money to move out
Here saying that I really appreciate the react videos you and Buff do for the 1000lb sisters. I could go watch it myself, but I 've just been chillin.. waitin for your videos to come out. Much better watching it with you guys :) Thank you!!!
She doesn't have too much longer to live, I can 100% see it. Honestly sad how someone can be so careless with themselves just because they feel spiteful of something someone else recommended they fixed.
I think people are just tired of watching a woman refusing to help herself and dying in front of the world
I absolutely agree. I had to check out because I’ve seen enough in my own life. I can’t stand to watch it on tv.
speaking my mind
Kind of like Eugenia Cooney, just on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Hell, it's not even her not help herself, she treats OTHERS that are helping her like shit, and refusing actual help to better her life. I have absolutely no sympathy for her.
the tiredness come from her being a rude ass to everyone all the time. the compassion left the window a long time ago.
"I'd rather hang out with you guys than my family any day" what a slap in the face to her family that's done literally everything they can for her. Smh...
Right?! Like the only people who give a shit about her and there she is shit talking them.
It's amazing that nothing hurts when she's with her "friends". And she even walks without complaining! 🤦🏽♀️
That's because of the alcohol levels in her blood I guess, alcohol numbs the pain, and I wouldn't call it exactly her "friends" though. More like people who leeched of her status as a "celebrity" and wanted to be in the spotlight for a few minutes. And when Tammy eventually dies they'd all be laughing about it, like remember guys when we fed that f*t chick alcohol shots and pizza and we were on camera doing it. Good times man, good times..
These guys are obviously using her as a novelty just to get on tv….they’re not her friends at all….sad
@@pagalmasala soo true. They definitely just love that they’re on tv. They don’t actually care about Tammy but encouraging her to add harmful toxins into her body the way she is.
@@pagalmasala at this point at least someone is happy thanks to her instead. All she’s caused otherwise is misery.
yup! and the way she walked into the doctors office that one ep with no help, yet before that was claiming she can’t walk and wanted her nurse to push her
The fact that she’s so miserable living in that body that she equates getting most likely blackout drunk every single night and being intoxicated with happiness is so sad and pathetic. Finding happiness in your friends is one thing, but the only reason she’s so “happy” with those friends is because they enable her. They’re “fun” because they don’t hold her accountable and let her do whatever she wants. The moment one of them says “maybe you shouldn’t have that 12th slice of pizza” shes gonna go off about how no one can handle her being her and how she doesn’t understand why everyone can’t just leave her alone. The moment any of them break her fantasy illusion that she’s not borderline bedridden and that she’s just an easy going party girl who all of her friends love (also notice how all of her party friends are men… that’s always a red flag but especially in this case I feel she surrounds herself with men so she can feel like men desire her in anyway and she can receive validation from them. How do I know? Because I was an insecure chubby girl in school and would be the “just one of the guys!” Girl so boys would like me and give me validation even if it wasn’t romantic at all). If she wants to do shit to her body to feel in control of it in some way, she should do a shit ton of mushroom because she’ll either have a horrible time and just never wanna do shrooms again, or she’s gonna have an ego death and be confronted with ALL the bullshit she’s been trying so hard to ignore and deny and maybe actually do something about her extreme obesity.
Your point about mushrooms was something I had wondered. Clearly nothing has worked for Tammy this far and she might actually be open to a trip. Maybe she'd experience an ego death or something and it would break her out of this cycle
I wish I could like your comment a thousand times! You just hit the nail on the head. I'm sorry you know this because you went through something similar. I hope you're doing better now! Without having to do a shit ton of mushrooms to figure it out 😅
She's suicidal and depressed. Therapy would be way more useful and meaningful than any psychedelic trip. If there is any drug she should be taking it is ketamine not shrooms. Ketamine treatment has actually been researched and proven to have consistent positive effects unlike shrooms(which have inconsistent effects and are illegal in the USA). Ketamine treatment is also done in a medical setting surrounded by actual professionals that care about your mental health (and not a-hole "friends" that are terrible trip sitters and generally terrible people that get a kick out of giving people a bad trip!). I personally never surrounded myself with those kinds of people but I know some people who have and they have trust issues now. There is also far worse things that can happen to someone from a bad trip than never wanting to do the drug again. Especially for their first time. She needs help not hell...and please don't preach irresponsible drug use. A lot of people try high dose psychedelics for the "ego death" experience and it does not end well for these inexperienced users.
@@littlebigeats7682 yeah I think her attempts at therapy on the show failed because they continued to film her. She deserves real professional therapeutic help.
I think youi're projecting a bit there! I agree about the ego death though, if not the mushrooms to achieve it. Sleep deprivation is another way to it. However both are dangerous, I don't know if her body would cope.
Chris is really the only reason I watch anymore. He does what he needs to and doesn't take any BS from Tammy. He should get a spin off to show what his life is like post-surgery.
No. No one WANTS to save Tammy anymore.
They're all tired. They want to live their own lives again.
It is a shame, but I do not have sympathy for people who self-inflict for attention.
Tammy is a self-victim. Does it for attention but then complains about the attention she gets.
Nope. It's a shame to say, but I'm done with caring about her.
She has enough self-love for herself to cover everyone in chat here.
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear timo
Except for the people that couldn't care less about her.
@@AxxLAfriku I have no idea who you are.
You ever even cared about them?
@@timomajere he’s quoting the song ‘Complicated’ by Avril Lavigne. I looked at his channel he’s super weird, probably just trying to hijack a potential top comment.
I'm really happy to see Amy thriving and not being dragged down by Tammy
Every time I watch Tammy, I'm shocked that I can get more angry and disgusted than I was before. I did watch an episode on the actual TH-cam channel and the amount of comments telling Tammy they were proud of her and were supporting her were nauseating. The episode was where the doctor goes to her house to talk to her. She said she didn't know how to ask for help. All she's been given was help! I was furious. She's a lost cause.
Tammy is an addict.
She has used food to cope with distress her entire life and, as a result, she has the emotional maturity of a pre-teen.
She views all the help offered to her as attacks against her, which is probably why she lashes out with personal attacks (eg: "fine. Maybe I did gain 50 pounds in a month, but _YOU_ did [insert unrelated thing]!")
It's sad and frustrating to watch as an adult but, if you try to view it through Tammy's warped, self-victimizing lens, it's somewhat easier to understand why she's so angry when people try to save her.
(Easy to _understand,_ not agree with, for the record.)
The people telling her truth probably get deleted for “bullying.”
@@kingayy9267 her emotional maturity is nothing to do with her addiction it's not like a meth addiction that alters the brain, she's just a big child, she probably actually wants to be skinny but really NOTHING is going to make her give up food or her selfish ways because....she simply doesn't want it enough. People want her to loose weight a million times more than she actually wants it, if everyone left her alone she would happily die with a pizza in hand blaming EVERYONE ELS for being to LAZY to look after her LAZY ass
@@kingayy9267 But she went to get help from her food addiction and she did amazing progress and lost some weight, then she decided to go back home and fck her life up again for no reason. I feel like she knows what she is doing and if the show ends and ppl ignore her, maybe then she will try hard enough to lose weight so that ppl give her attention again because yaaay she lost weight and finally made it.
Yep, people applaud her… for what?!? She’s killin herself but blaming her family and the world! She’s had every opportunity to get better, but she doesn’t give a sh*t. It’s disgusting.
She's probably paying for every bit of her and those guys entertainment so that's why dude in the purple was so happy 😂😂😂
Amy has had a child and is making life moves, she's growing up finally. Tammy obviously doesn't understand the whole growing up part, as a person. Where she is in her health, she can't be acting like that and saying it's self love. She can't do 3 steps, but she thinks drinking will fix everything?
There is something disturbing about a person who needs oxygen getting drunk and vaping.
She’s got a mission and no one will stop her.
@@CreativeCreatorCreates i read it as mansion and died thinking about her trailer style house
@@lillegoman I thought they said "mansion" as well 🤣
This is why we can’t have free healthcare. People would be doing this shit because medical expenses would be free
@@BrokenBabydoll people do it anyway
Tammy doesn’t want to get better. She wants the attention that comes from being a “victim”.
You said that perfectly.
Precicely. I'd say she won't change until the spotlight is taken off of her, but at this point I'm not sure anything would change her or make her want to get healthier short of MAYBE being bed bound -- which she's already insanely close to.
Either way TLC shouldn't be airing this. We're just watching her die and goodness forbid anyone be influenced by her to live a life like this. There's a lot of desperate people out there who would do anything for clout or attention :/
Do you know what the word help means. She isn't growing her own food. She isn't earning it. Cut her off. That simple. Stop enabling.
So basically being an Amberpoop
Or she’s just given up.
I'd be depressed watching 1000 pounds sister without Ken and Buff's commentary. This shit is sad.
Would you sniff her gut folds? 🤔
She's the type of person who says "I'm oppressed!" yet has no consideration for the poor chair she is oppressing into the earth's crust.
You two are the only reasons I can watch this dumpster fire. You're both hilarious and make this show tolerable
I agree, buff's excessive nodding and raising of the eyebrows really helps.
You are easily amused. The thing is we know you wish to sniff her belly folds.
I love how we see Amy accomplishing so many milestones in her life. She lost weight, had a beautiful baby, bought her own home and is trying to be a supportive and loving sister.
Then we see Tammy. Weighing more than when this all started and playing the victim card. Slowly killing her self in front of millions.
Not very slowly, honestly.
Love your comment
Love your user name
Love your profile pic! 😁👍
It’s night and day.
*Clearly Tammy just wants the title of the show to stay accurate*
Taking advantage of it all , each in their own way , & TLC for whatever reason other then ratings, would air this s#$t for as long as it has been aired , is obvious in itself 💯
Her family is more patient than me. When she called them to pick her up early from rehab, I would have left her there.
Her family are trash. You might have accidentally done the right thing. Good God people it's like you'll dance around the obvious all day
Fr. This is gonna sound bad, but I would leave her there and force her to lose weight. When she comes back and exhibits unhealthy habits, reverting back to how she was before therapy, I'd remove her access to unhealthy foods. I'd literally do anything to save her, even if she hated me for it. At least she'd be alive to hate me.
@@altoassassin me too. Maybe cuz i grew up in a strict household but id be so hard on her i swear. Id literally only supply the house in healthy foods and make them the only source of food she has. Shed have a cheat day once a month IF she behaved and lost a certain amount of weight each time. But even those days would be limited. Id send her to rehab and leave her, telling them not to listen to her and if she forcefully came back id drive her there again after a single week of "freedom." I wouldnt buy her an electronic wheelchair, id make her wheel herself or WALK for crying out loud. And most of all id give her support each time and give her little things when she accomplishes a goal. I swear if this was in my control she wouldnt be acting like this and she'd be living for a good while. She would hate me and dread every day, but its better than having your sister or daughtor die because they cant take care of themselves.
I'd totally be interested in a show about Amy living her life and being funny. I feel like that would be really wholesome and motivating 😊
yes!! I would love more episodes centered around Amy. but tlc only premieres what clicks, and sadly, that's Tammy's negativity and consistent downward spiral :/
Amy is a scammer anyway that stole money from her TH-cam fans.
I would love a show just about Amy's story and future - she's done so well and grown so much. I can't be a voyeur to Tammy acknowledging her own imminent death and using the people who love her.
The content we deserve.
Same! Amy shows that if you work toward things you can definitely achieve it
thanks for making this show watchable - it's actually put into perspective some of the same behaviors in my own family.
So I watched the whole season, so spoilers
Tammy at the end ended up asking for help, she was ready for help and went to therapy. Unfortunately, her lungs collapsed and she went into a coma, now she has lost about 50 plus pounds, and is trying her hardest. She is a walking miracle
You know what, good on her, too bad she had to have the near death experience to get the kick in the ass she needed
Tammy is like a lung cancer patient who continues to smoke 6 packs a day and complains other people didn't stop her from smoking.
At least she makes for good entertainment from you two.
YOU SHOWED UP TOO.
@@suzannenichols6900 exactly ...
Don't act like you aren't consuming the content
@Strivingtoonedaybeuseful
What point were you trying to make?
Did you think OP was claiming to not watch it?
@@kingayy9267 right!?
it’s literally rinse and repeat at this point with Tammy and her behavior, it’s sad seeing how wholesome it started and now where it’s at
But was it wholesome or did they deceive people? They weren't wholesome to begin with, their dirt was just hidden.
As someone who’s tried to lose weight my whole life it’s almost insulting to see tammys behaviour. She has access to so many resources that not many people do and she just turns around and spits in everyone’s faces at every corner.
Drinking alcohol can actually slow down weight loss a lot. It's extra calories and it occupies your liver instead of allowing it to process fat. I'm not surprised she's had such a tough time losing weight.
It’s actually fluid from the liver not fat when you drink
She hasn't even tried to loose weight
Lol you think you just broke the Internet with the most obvious shit ever????
Honestly, I think Tammy officially gave up. I think some of us thought she gave up a long time ago but I think there was a bit of hope within her until now. I think she gave up and is trying have fun in the last few months, years, etc. she got. It’s extremely sad to witness because now everyone (including her) is waiting for the day her heart gives out. Extremely sad.
💯💯💯
Her family will be sad but they will also be relieved. They did everything they could. Especially Amy and Chris. They dont need to feel guilty. They gave Tammy every chance, every bit of support to their own detriment. But she truly is their abuser.
It's nice to know when you give up on yourself, your family does too.
God bless America, perfect culture of self obsessed hateful scum. They used to have a help line now they put you on TLC to prove no one cares.
@@MeraOnMars and you can't help someone who doesn't want your help even if you can clearly see that they need your help, u just can't force it, i really hope chris and amy wont feel bad or regretful after that
Exactly this
I'm still sad for Amy's family losing Little Bit as of this year. God rest his little soul doggo.
Nooo
I watched this epiode the other day, and Amy is moving HALF AN HOUR away! If Tammy actually cared, she'd get her ass out and visit her nephew and sister. Best friend? Yeah no, best caregiver more likely.
for real, I don't describe my best friends by what they do for me.
She degrades her body as a form of manipulation and it's worked for years. Really entertaining watching her self destruct thinking she is getting some form of petty vengeance. It's why I play my internet bill.
This show was meant to show us two sisters in their weight loss journeys so that we would become emotionally invested and supportive. Now that Tammy has given up on it, there's no purpose for the show anymore. That's why we lost interest in it. There's no point in hating Tammy or being fed up with her. It's her decision to make. It doesn't matter if you care about her; she will live her life the way she wants. We all (including her family) have to move on and let her be. This story already reached a conclusion. There is nothing left.
Supposedly Tammy is actually losing weight now after season 3, something about going to a weight loss place and losing at least 115 pounds. She's been fairly quiet on social media, but I think she mentioned that it would be covered in season 4?
I don't know how accurate this is, but if it's true then maybe she's finally putting in some effort to be healthy.
Tammy is so privileged. I come from a very small town in South Africa. The fact that she has so much food, medical attention and psychiatric help but she doesn't appreciate the help and she's killing herself with food, bothers me. I know many people who would greatly benefit from medical or psychiatric care, not to mention a good meal.
Maybe she just isn't capable. Like we wouldn't expect certain people who can't learn well, to learn all things. So maybe she's just not capable of anything that we're expecting or thinking she could do. Just a thought
@@suzannenichols6900if that is the case she doesn't have to learn, she could just be grateful people care.
Exactly. I am disabled and I WISH I had a choice in my physical limitations.
@@suzannenichols6900 if she’s capable of putting food in her mouth all day, and make excuses for it, she’s capable of putting healthier food in and being responsible for herself. She’s a grown adult, not a child.
@@suzannenichols6900 stop making excuses.
11:56 that shot is insane to see the true size difference between them now. You could literally fit to Amy’s inside of Tammy. Props to Amy for getting her shit together and caring about her life, Tammy gonna end up dying sad and alone
I just want to see Amy's house. Dang Tammy ruining it for everyone.
the alcohol she drank that looked like “mustard” is called rumchata it tastes so good 10/10 would recommend:) ive only had the white bottle tho
🤔🤔🤨 10/10 you say. . . . . I'll be looking for it now.
Tammys way of frikkin Running to the Party Car, way past her mailbox she consider not beeing able to even slowly walk to. Omg.
Tammy talking about eating bread to “soak up the alcohol” reminds me of Amy in the first season saying their mom told them if they eat “a sugar”, drinking a diet soda will cancel it out
Ive heard the soak up the alcohol thing....but the diet soda thing was NUTS
@@brandythompson2171 the capitalization of nuts just instantly reminded me of Arin Hanson’s famous quote “Suzy (incoherent mumbling) Santa’s going NUTS” lmao but I feel like everyone knows that if you eat before drinking, the food in your stomach makes the alcohol absorb slower so you don’t get as drunk as fast. Not bread specifically though, but that’s what I always heard growing up
I've heard that carbs will make you sober up faster but it definitely doesn't negate the effects 😭 the American education system is a joke
everybody knows if you eat greasy savory food while drinking it helps your body not feel so sick. Not sure why it works, but it's a cure as ancient as time.
@@charliedeegan1598 girl what? That dumb ass myth has nothing to with American education system, should I remind you how many doctors nurses scientists astronauts biologist archaeologist surgeons anesthesiologist optometrist ophthalmologist podiatrist gastroenterologist etc there are in America not to mention lawyers judges police officers firefighters teachers. There are lots of smart people here in America some people choose to make their own dumbass decisions do not blame the country of America as a whole and if you are not from America please mind the business that pays you thank you!
Honestly, I come from a family of addicts. My dad passed away from alcoholism. Tammy is an addict.
As much as you love them, and want the best for them, there's a point where you just have to surrender and let things go. Not because you don't love them and not because you're selfish, but because it's the only thing left to do. This comes after years and years of forgiveness, second chances, ultimatums, arguing, money spent, time spent, emotions being fully drained.
What happens after that is end-stage addiction and Tammy's there.
Yep same thing with my dad and alcoholism. We all gave up eventually after years of trying.
@@MrMilokiki same here :/
@@MrMilokiki and he smokes so that doesn’t help 😂
Yeah it’s just painful trying to help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves
YOu give up trying to change them, but there is no need to give up on loving them, or being in their lives to a safe extent. Only if they are a danger to you should you abandon. I know it's hard to watch a person destroying themselves slowly, but truth is, they'll do it whether you watch or not, and after they are gone, you'll regret it if you abandon them entirely. I'm talking simple things, phone calls on birthdays, cards, and telling them you love them. Turning your back on a loved one is the last resort. I know sometimes we need to, but if you don't, keep loving them because you will anyway, so may as well let them know.
If we’re counting on Tammy to save herself… we’re doomed 🥹

Somehow, that makes too much sense for me.

It was years of him choosing to stay sick or his body hurting, but she was tired of being the voice of reason.
I think this family is there.
Did he die
@@MelB868 oh no he’s still alive. He’s finally taking care of himself too. My Momma and Aunt are making sure of it.
I’m thinking Tammy’s embarrassed of struggling up the steps in front of the cameras, knowing the whole world will see. But then contradicts herself by being self destructive. She needs to be honest with herself.
My 3 year old son loves when I watch you guys. He says “It’s Ken and Buffpro?” and then starts cracking up everytime you guys laugh. Your laughs are contagious and we love you guys.
I love how Ken's commentary regarding Tammy has gradually changed from "wholesome" to "I'm done." 😅 I was at that point with her by the end of Season 1 and my disdain for her has only increased throughout the following 2 seasons. I tried to be hopeful but she's been nothing but one excuse after another.
I’ve been trying that ‘find self love through alcohol’ theory for years. I expect it to start working any time now.
That won’t work
Never been this on time in my life. Not even for my own birth
feel you on this one
LMAO
Me too😅😂
Breach.
Yo same 😂
I only watch shows with ppl like tammy as a reminder to never let myself become that bad it motivates me to keep working on myself in a way
I lost both my grandparents through diabetes and stroke attacks, watching this just makes sad to a whole new level
Then why are you watching it?!
Thank you for continuing this series! It's so interesting to see
I don't know how it happened that I got invested in Tammy's well being - considering I dislike reality TV lol - but I really fear that the show has enabled her destructive behaviors. I'm caught between wanting the show to continue because I'd like to know she's still alive and well, but also thinking the show should be cancelled because I think it isn't doing her mental state any favors.
the story of her going to family member to family member shows she had an horrible attitude way before the show. she only got herself to blame, ..but she ll keep blaming everyone around camera or not.
She would have gotten to this state without the TV show, she has set her self up for death before the show, she gave up, and whether or not it was filmed, she will get closer to death.
As sad as it is to say, I don't see her coming back although she still possibly come, however with some possible severe issues after.
If they didn't have a shoe I guarantee she'd be losing weight. If she's not doing it on purpose the attention that show gives her DOES enable her behavior. She thinks it's cool and funny
I completely agree with you..it’s very sad but I think mentally doing the show, her attitude has kinda stayed negative because she knows what people think of her. She is constantly reminded through cameras that everyone is watching and she’s helpless so she stays there. She CAN get better, but she won’t 😔 I was rooting for her too. It’s absolutely her fault, but we as her audience didn’t help much with our comments. It’s hard to explain, but the mind can turn into a toxic place if you don’t use it right. I believe Tammy never took control of her own life because if she did none of us would be here:/
This show has been the greatest hell she ever had. She was a toxic and grossly overweight person all her life before the show and still is with the show. At least the show got her in touch with an amazing health care team and is likely paying all the bills and got Chris and Amy on track to show her how it can be done. But she just doesn't care. She wants an easy way out that doesn't exist.
i can understand amy’s want to have tammy support her. tammy is her big sister; and little sisters want their older siblings to be proud of them. i feel so bad for amy 🥺
First off, Ken i freakin love that shirt!! Second: At this point, just let Tammy do whatever she's gonna do. I know they want her to live and such, but she has yet to give a crap. Lol. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink it"
He looks beautiful.
His shirts are always so fun. I’m a woman and I want those dad shirts to wear lol.
I appreciate Ken's bluntness about having to say something in-between clips so it doesn't get claimed. I think about that often.
Tammy calls these people her family because they enable her self-destruction, but if she deteriorates to the point where she can't party anymore, they'll drop her like a hot potato.
All they had to do was tell Tammy that they baked a cake and it's in the house she'd have been bustin threw walls like the coolaid man
LOLOL. I could picture that.
Look. . . It’s funny, but you need to stop😂
Nah, she'd demand they bring it out to her. Then throw a huge fit if they refused to.

Deja vu playing in the background while tammy rolling through the streets on her wheelchair
You're right Ken. I enjoy this show WAY more through you than watching it on my own. Thank you for your service.
i never watch 1000lb sisters but i love watching it with CinnamonToastKen and BuffPro ❤❤
Yep, this is the only way I watch this show, hahaha
Well you are just way out of line.
She REALLY just used the "I dont have time for that!"
Its AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FO' DAT!!!
2:30 "I'm gonna be me" is another way of saying "Changing is too hard, so don't bother criticizing me because I refuse to."
Tammy just "wants to be happy", but she doesn't know how to go from where she is and what she's experiencing to get to the point where she can be, and every time, EVERY TIME someone tries to help her, she *doesn't want to be helped or happy like that*. She is suffering horribly from psychological damage and the only thing she can think to do about it is to physically damage herself to match. This show is self-torture porn.
Tammy suffered from carbon dioxide poising, which means that her lungs weren't able to expell the CO2 in her body. that's why she needed the trachea. It's sad
It stopped being sad awhile ago, now it's just frustrating
Didn't she have Covid too?
@@LilySaintSin She did.
not even sad, it would be sad if it wasnt caused by her own actions
Respiratory therapist here. Most people I've seen with emphysema are actually thin especially end stage. Chronic bronchitis you may see more rounded individuals. We have that pink puffers and blue bloater thing. Look up pink puffers and blue boaters and you'll see an image of what i mean. But what potential respiratory conditions I see with Tammy's weight more are with CHF (potential because pulmonary edema) or obesity hypoventilation syndrome which the latter is what I may assume she suffered from. Not so much copd which is what emphysema and chronic bronchitis would be under. Though given her vaping, she may have a history of smoking and certainly that could still be a thing. But, I don't know her medical history. She has a massive restriction on her lungs given her weight. It is easy to assume that she cannot get the proper lung volume to ventilate (blow off that CO2) which could be a reason why she had too much of it. Hypoventilation syndrome is VERY common with Tammy like sizes.. Obviously, I'm not her doctor or even a doctor at all but I only commented because I really haven't met an emphysema pt her size (not saying they don't exist) but seeing that comment was a bit weird.
She should dance more, definitely a calorie burner
Yes! I'm not an active dancer but when I'm in a musical (with heavy choreo) I start to tone really fast. Plus it doesn't really feel like *exercise*!
Pole dancing?

Us: you good? We'll watch more
At this point they should just put tammy in a locked room and only feed her 1,500 calories worth of food a day.
Often self-love and self-care aren't about doing what feels good to you at the moment, but rather what's actually good FOR you, i.e. taking care of your health, finances etc. Tammy seems to be unwilling to do any of the work - mentally or physically, this tells me that she'll probably never change. Unless there is some huge external stressor or event to shake her up and even that's no guarantee. It's all denial, childish defiance, selfishness and unwillingness to take responsibility for her own life. It's sad to see. She's a lot like Eugenia Cooney, only on the other side of the weight spectrum.
Edit: Misspelled Name
Exactly. When my depression is horrible and I can't get out of bed, it might feel better to tell myself I can stay there for ~*self care*~ but then in the morning my laundry is still dirty and my groceries still haven't been bought. Sometimes self care is forcing yourself to do the absolute bare minimum so future you can thrive a little better, rather than languishing because it feels nicer in the moment.
That self love line I've heard over and over again, and not just with addicts, I feel like people just use it as an excuse to let go and concede that they don't want to change and will never do so.
Totally agree. I like having a drink now and again, and I do consider it part of my ritual of self love, but it’s part of a balanced lifestyle. Eating shit, and getting drunk make you feel like shit. Where’s the love in that?
Exactly. Self love is about doing what is best for you and what you need. My self care looks a lot different than someone else’s. I have bad depression and anxiety and I often force myself to go go go every second of every day, I don’t take time off and I feel guilty not being productive. For my self care I will try to let myself sleep in, or take more time in the morning, or take a break when cleaning or running errands, and this is hard to do! So many people think self care is just easy and chill and whatever they want, but that’s just self indulgence
Exactly, there's homework involved and sometimes you're not gonna like it
Should have gotten her drunk. She would have danced her way into the house.
> "I'm trying to do self-love"
> intentionally damages her body
there is a limit to how much self destruction family and loved ones will tolerate before they cut themselves loose from your sinking ship of a life. Tammy you have reached that point.
14:35 “is she just floating in the air right now?”
“shes very Zen” lmaoo
Spoiler alert, in the last episode of the season, she goes back to rehab but a day after she arrives there, she goes to the hospital and goes into a coma where the doctors tell the family that they may have to start planning a funeral. Thankfully she ended up waking up from the coma and goes back to rehab. About a month after the season ended, she posted that she had lost 100 pounds during rehab.
So yeah she ends up getting better and actually starts to be serious about losing weight.
Also reason why she goes back to rehab is because the doctor dude ends up coming to her house and talks her into going back to rehab.
She ends up getting better when TLC isn't in the picture
Wonder how long that will last. What is crazy is if she even cut her calories DOWN to 3500, she would lose like 300 pounds in like eighteen months. I guarantee she is at least 6000 cal a day.
she lost weight because she was in a coma for so long, not because she put work in.
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 or bad food
I think now the cameras are gone she'll stop the bullshit, just more reasons why tlc are toxic trash and are not friends with the people they showcase
The guy who edits your videos is amazing. Can't believe ya'll did Tammy like that! Had me laughing so loud!
are they really her friends though? they are literally enabling her in every way! if they were really her friends they would have the same concerns as her family.. do they not realize she's dying? no no have some pizza.. you can barely breathe but oh well VAPE AWAY AND EAT SOME PIZZA FRIEND😂 they need to start planning her funeral or something infront of her because how is this women gonna wake up and realise she needs to fkn move.. also how is she partying she can't move😂.... does she not realise nothing matters unless she loses weight. she could win the lottery and it will mean nothing because at the end of the day she won't be able to live. the most upsetting thing about this is if she does pass away. the trauma for the family is going to be awful for a very long time, maybe for the rest of their lives
EXACTLY! Were these folks her friends before the show? Or have they conveniently latched on for her money and to get on TV? (I genuinely don't know, but I'm assuming the latter).
Honestly I assume she met them on a BBW site.
@@Neeneenugget they are definitely here because of the show. I feel the disgust they really have for the lady. they need to be drunk to hang out with her
I agree with you on her family should start planning her funeral arrangements. "Here's your casket or urn. What songs would you like to be played? What pictures would you like to have? Here's your plot. Which headstone do you prefer? What would you like us to put on your headstone?" But even if they went down that path to try and wake her TF up she STILL wouldn't give a shit
I feel like they have bad intentions for her. They're giving her alcohol and junk food and getting her to vape on-camera and encouraging her self-destructive behaviors. I don't trust these guys at all. They're pretending to be her friends, either because they want attention from being on tv, or because they want to see her fail and self-destruct. Everyone who actually cares about her has given up because she won't save herself, so she's left with people who don't care if she lives, or even those who would see her die. They're using her.
She hates walking, but maybe they can trick her into exercising by getting her dancing more
The moment she realizes dancing qualifies as exercise, she’s probably stop. Amy tried to get her the hula hoop exercise thing. Amy and Tammy both went swimming then the nurse took Tammy to the pool. Tammy liked swimming (it seems) but hated the idea of exercise
@@goblin.2618 She didn't exercise in the pool. Just float more.
@@msmaria5039 when someone is at that level of obesity, even the most basic tasks burn tons of calories and work multiple muscle groups. it takes so much energy to carry an excess of 400-500 pounds on your body.
With the fit bit I want to exercise more but without one I’m not as motivated it’s like uhh nothing is recording it is that weird
When Tammi said she needs bread to soak up the alcohol...... YOU ARE A LOAF OF BREAD, you are a big sponge
Gotta love friends who are just there to have fun and don’t care that she’s killing herself
She’s going to need a a compass and a map if she’s going to find something inside herself
Or an endoscopy
Her girth would suggest multiple stinks.
Watching CinnamonToastKen is the cleanest best pleasure
The irony is Tammy isn't lacking self-love, in fact she has too much self loving that she has developed soo much entitlement and has become so self-absorbed. She needs to face reality.
Self love isn't destroying your body. That's literally self hatred. I used to starve myself out of self hatred. And for ages I didn't want to change. It's the same thing as self harm
She tried to face it but she couldn't get up.
Entitlement isn’t self love. Self love involves being responsible for yourself and caring about your decisions.
Please Stahp confusing Love with everything it is Not, it hurts lol
I agree with the other comments. This isn't self-love. If she loved herself she wouldn't do this to her body nor her relationships Narcissism, entitlement, putting others down, etc... All of that's self-hatred disguised as "self-love". Nobody who loves themselves has to feel like they're above others. The fact that she thinks this is "loving herself" really sad.
I love hearing you guys talk about your personal stories 😂❤️❤️
I love how deliriously dedicated y’all are to finishing your react videos to these 😂 respect! ❤
Watching this with you guys had made me so glad I decided to turn. My shit around and started losing weight lol.
200 lbs down, 85 more
That's amazing!! Congrats! Keep it up!
@@dirtyblonde9919 thank you 😁
You're doing awesome, keep it up. I'm proud of you :)
@@longing_for_the_void thank you... I needed to hear someone tell me they are proud of me....
Good job! That takes a lot of hard work and I praise you for that
Honestly, I understand Tammy’s attitude. I’ve had it myself.. Only difference is that I was a teenager going through puberty, and she’s a 35 year old grown ass woman……
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
THIS
I use to work at a liquor store. It's weird sounding I know, but usually the one dolor shots are actually cheaper than the full bottle.
There's a difference between being yourself and destroying yourself.
When Buff said karaoke nights when they were talking about alcohol, I took that so personal. 😂😂
Amy’s already a mother of one, maybe expecting another, and she has to deal with a literal infant around her age (aka Tammy). Like okay Tammy? Literally who cares? Who cares about you and your attitude again?
Tammy is the definition of a toxic narcissist. If they re up the show I hope they exclude her from it. I’d rather watch the positive changes in the rest of the family.
Tammy was distracted but now she is back on track to speedrunning life again
I think the bond & history you guys have is awesome ! Keep doing what your doing n I'll keep watching.
Tammy at the end flying out of the planet ,,, i lost my shit 🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for you to come to this part, and it was worth the wait!!!
Plus, I think this is the fastest we've ever seen Tammy move! The hustling to the car so they could get alcohol.
I hate this show but love watching the pain of ken and Dane struggle through the episodes 🤣
Why don't we fast forward to Tammy's funeral. Then her friends will have to fund their own partying an9d find another patsy..
@@judyc9380 They are hardly friends. Just people who enjoy a bit of euthanasia. It dose make me feel sick to see it.
Ken and Dane have quickly become my favorite dynamic duo. :)
Tammy: I'm completely aware that I'm doing more damage to my body, but no worries!
Also Tammy: I'm not taking that step because I might fall and hurt myself.
Still love watching these old vids xD
you know what also helps with hangovers? WATER.
so simple and easy to drink water in between drinks lmao
Y'all my dad acts just like Tammy. Gotta be the victim, never his fault, everyone is attacking him, the list goes on. It's exhausting. I understand how hard it had to be for Amy to say that she's moving because I remember the same stress. Bruh don't miss it!
She’s full on narcissistic. It’s unfortunately common in people and it’s gross. These ....(insert favorite word of expression here) are going to ruin their lives and anyone that allows it.
You can only help as much as they want to help themselves. ❤️I pray for you to have forgiveness for yourself.
@@CreativeCreatorCreates oh yeah exactly like my dad. I'm currently going through a serious rough patch with him because I just celebrated the 2 year death of my daughter and he wanted to text me about how "he doesn't deserve the punishment of a crime he doesn't know he committed". Because I don't want to stir the pot, I just left it alone. I feel like I have so many things I need to say but I already know exactly how he's going to respond to everything and it's exactly like Tammy. "If you aren't with me, you're against me."
It's very hard to deal with people like this, then they try to build all this guilt on to you because you don't want to be a part of that toxic relationship. Specially when it's not just a family member it's a parent. I feel this very deeply
My mum is similar. Except whenever anything bad happens to me and I have issues with my BPD or depression, she somehow makes herself the victim. I don't like talking much... somehow that means I'm punishing her (a small example). I got a boyfriend at 17, apparently that was me being disrespectful and she did everything in her power to ruin my life as a result (told my teaches to not let me leave school for lunch, called and kidnapped my bf to try and turn him against me, grounded me for 3 months and took away everything in my room, called me a prostitute, would assume I'm off sleeping with my bf if I was 5 mins late from school and kick up a fuss, told the whole family about me..... the list of things went on)... when I think about it I'm pretty sure she is the reason I'm fucked up. I can't wait to get enough money to move out
Buff and Ken genuinely make my day.
Here saying that I really appreciate the react videos you and Buff do for the 1000lb sisters. I could go watch it myself, but I 've just been chillin.. waitin for your videos to come out. Much better watching it with you guys :) Thank you!!!
She doesn't have too much longer to live, I can 100% see it.
Honestly sad how someone can be so careless with themselves just because they feel spiteful of something someone else recommended they fixed.
