Yeah. She’s staying obese forever.

John Andrews Stan said:
I don’t disagree. But that can also be true simultaneously with the fact that her siblings are on autopilot with how they outnumber and confront her. Not to mention how adversarial Chris is every single time.

Being fed up is no excuse for continuing to perpetrate fucked up communication dynamics. If TLC wanted to help them while producing good content, they’d get them family dynamic and communication coaching from a legit therapist. This isn’t talk therapy to humiliate anyone, but constructive guidance and instruction to enable them not to repeat the broken communication habits of a lifetime.

Her family does gang up on her, which I’m sure has always been their family dynamic. Has it literally ever worked or helped Tammy? No. They do it because it’s familiar (and in Amy and her brother’s cases, makes them feel better about themselves).

But this confrontational approach is part of the problem.

Of course in the face of being outnumbered, Amy withdraws and gets defensive. Duh. Nothing is more predictable. Yet they deserve their share of responsibility for continuing to engage in this broken approach to communication.

The fact is, this isn’t even about Tammy’s weight. That’s a symptom (like everyone else’s weight) of a much bigger problem: a completely screwed up family where nobody ever felt loved or valued, and where it seems everyone was a victim of child sexual abuse. But those matters are way too dark and scary to get into. That’s how you end up with multiple morbidly obese siblings pointing fingers at another one, making it all about her weight.

I don’t get why you are holding Tammy’s family to a higher standard than her. They all came from the same home and have the same education about this stuff. Tammy is however intellectually stunted, beyond dumb like her family, she has crossed into true dumb cunt territory. Yes, they all confront her at once (100% this is for the cameras so it can’t even really be considered), but think about how unbelievably impossible she is to get through to. She stonewalls anything. Mollycoddling doesn’t work. They’ve tried. Everyone tried, she HAD chances. People lose patience. Who can blame them for just trying to be as blunt an honest as possible in hopes of finally, maybe getting through to her because they still have hope she’s a rational human being under there.

They have attempted one on one conversation. Amy has said that, contrary to the image of two sisters who’ve always been close growing up, Tammy first lived with every single other sibling of theirs and burned each bridge (Amy mentioned it being partly due to manipulation and her overall personality ) until Amy was the only one left. Amy is the only one that has put up with her for this long. They have had one to one conversations on the show, many times, and she just shuts down and asks why they can’t be happy for her or supportive and that she already knows—aka stop upsetting her by interrupting her delusions.

They ask fair questions about her boyfriend, and she just stops talking and snaps at them. Even when they were correct the first time, she doesn’t even try to say this time it’s different to show she understands why they’re saying these things. She just stops engaging and lashes out. The fact she treats the carer helping her the same just goes to show that it really is Tammy that’s the problem, not her family even if they don’t help. The carer has asked several things in a lighthearted manner, and still can’t even get through to Tammy and have her respond with something rational. I don’t think it makes a difference whether it’s a group setting or not. Even her older sister with the autistic sons (idk her name) who went to see her with Chris asked very fair questions and didn’t even criticise her (fairly) as harsh Chris ends up doing. And what was the reaction? Her same, annoying shit. It makes the people around her not want to help, because she becomes horribly unpleasant. She seems so ungrateful for it all, down to small things like, that creep Michael pushing her wheelchair, what more do they owe her? Like Amy got her meds, but needed her to call, and she behaved awfully to her. She has no idea how much help she gets, she’s ungrateful and expects it.

She’s seen 2 therapists on the show. Were they shit? Yes. If you’ve seen my 600lb life you’ll know they’re all similar to the ones on there, who are also shit, but have the benefit of mostly dealing with people on the show who, put simply, WANT to help themselves. So they benefit from these therapy sessions, because they try. You get what you put into it. It’s not been perfect, but fucking hell, she’s had SO MUCH help and support and hasn’t deserved a bit of it. She is not even trying.

Tammy does not want to help herself. She wants to ignore her problems and retreat into her delusions, where these men care about her and she’s not disgusting in both her gluttony and appearance. Where she’s not going to die in a year. I thought the criticise she got in season 1 was slightly too harsh (benefit of the doubt). It’s why she refuses to walk a step, yes it’s the pain, but also how the pain reminds her of her reality. At the end of the day, like you said it’s fucked. Shit therapist, exploitative show even if they provide many resources, family in the same boat as her with the eduction and childhood issues… it’s so easy to blame all of that. But at the end of the day, even though you could say she’s a victim of it all and never had a chance, that doesn’t help. She refuses to take responsibility for her own life. Amy did. Amy was in the same situation as her but did what she needed to do. Chris too.

Not arguing with you by the way, just offering a different view.

TLDR; Tammy is delusional. The support/advice she’s received from everyone hasn’t been perfect but it didn’t need to be to make a difference.

Sounds like she's ready to do everything to avoid losing weight.
Maybe I'm cynical (not) but this is not a good idea. For variety of reasons

This will absolutely put a stop to Amy getting anywhere near her goal weight, not that there was ever really a chance of that happening. I wonder if she's taking the same attitude with this pregnancy of eating whatever she wants so she can "enjoy being pregnant".

Just as well for her she was turned down by the plastic surgeon for skin removal surgery. She should never have even been contemplating it when she knew she wanted another baby.

I saw this and immediately felt disappointed. Amy loves Gage to be sure but she can't afford to pop them out like her mother if she actually wants to be able to have healthy, well-educated kids. She can't stay on top of the housework with one kid, she's fucked even more with 2. Mike the Molester sure isn't helping keep up with the laundry or wiping down countertops.

Amy's second pregnancy is less risky than her first, but that leaves room for carelessness. Maybe she'll balloon up, maybe she'll maintain. It'd be in her best interest to avoid gorging Chinese takeout, if last season's ER visit is any indicator. At least she's decided two is enough.

Meanwhile, Tammy's Tiktok is giving us riveting content regarding her nasty fupaditch. It's a miracle her womb is forever barren. Those hypothetical mullato beluga calves would never have had a chance.

I can't handle all the love Michael is getting, the dude is a fucking creep and has a record of domestic violence. The mods on Reddit will remove posts about his domestic violence record if you mention his wife because apparently it's not in the publicly available report who he assaulted or what the specific assault was.

That 1000 Pound sister reddit is garbage..the mods on there love Tammy and Amy for some stupid ass reason. We made another reddit sub to talk freely about these land whales. It's called /tammyslatonantifans
