As 1000-lb Sisters fans have seen in recent years, Tammy Slaton has blown her fans away with her incredible weight loss transformation. With how well Tammy has been doing, some fans are questioning whether Amy had a hand in deliberately sabotaging Tammy’s progress. So, what are viewers saying?
1000-LB Sisters: Amy Halterman Was The ‘Skinny’ Sister For Years
Tammy Slaton looks unrecognizable these days following her incredible weight loss and skin removal. With Tammy dropping more than 500 pounds, it’s easy to forget that in previous seasons of the popular TLC show, Amy was the “skinny” sister between the two.
For many years, Amy had a big lead on Tammy. Tammy was as stubborn as it gets, and she would regularly party and binge. For a long time, many people did not believe they would see the day when Tammy lost all of the weight and turned her life around.
Because of this, Amy Slaton Halterman was the skinnier of the two for many years. Based on recent discussion among fans, many are starting to question if Amy deliberately sabotaged Tammy’s progress for years.
TLC Tables Turned In A Big Way
As 1000-lb Sisters fans have seen, not only has Tammy lost over 500 pounds and surpassed Amy Slaton Halterman by a long shot, but viewers have also called Amy out for losing ground and putting weight back on. With Amy seemingly backsliding and Tammy looking healthier than ever, many viewers are questioning if Amy deliberately sabotaged Tammy’s progress for years as a way to make her feel better about herself.
- One recent commenter said, “I think Amy might’ve secretly encouraged Tammy’s binging. I think by now it’s pretty clear that Amy built a lot of her self esteem and self worth on being slightly above Tammy on the pecking order. Her whole thing was “I might be big but at least im not as big as Tammy!” “My life sucks but at least it’s better than Tammy’s!” She used Tammy as a crutch. She doesn’t have to try hard; she just has to be slightly better than her sister and that’s enough to skate by on.”
- Another commenter added, “She was also gobsmacked when she realized Tammy was a “large” while she was an XL (and then regained her composure & muttered that she just likes wearing bigger clothes). She absolutely leaned for years on the fact she was the “smaller, prettier sister” (in her own mind) and undermined Tammy in a thousand small and not-so-small ways in order to ensure she stayed that way; I think her self-identity depends on it. The chick is delusional.”
