As previously reported, Tammy Slaton has done just that.
The veteran reality star has achieved the weight loss many only dream of, losing a staggering 500 pounds over the past few years.
However, it wasn’t easy for her.
“I took a lot of pictures, a lot of selfies, not because I looked good – well, I did a little – but mostly because I wanted to remember how old I was and what I looked like,” Sly said Dayton explained via TikTok.
“I thought, Man, I’m so great! I lost 500 pounds. I can’t sit in this chair.
It’s true.
Over the past few months, we have watched Slaton complete one milestone after another.
Slaton then delved into the challenges behind her journey.
“I think I was so focused on losing weight that I lost myself. I lost myself and I started drinking more than food,” she admitted in the same video.
“Meanwhile, I’m still eating. So I do both. The damage happens two different ways.
“It’s easy to fall back into bad habits and gain weight back, but what’s it all for? A waste of time, a waste of money, a waste of energy.
At some point in the future, we’ll see Tammy and her siblings go through these struggles in Season 6 of Thousand Pound Sisters.
It sounds like things have gotten a little darker for the former during this time.
“I have a lot of demons inside of me that I have to fight, but I’m still fighting,” she says in the new footage.
The longtime TLC star ended the clip with a hopeful message for fans who may be going through health struggles.
“You are not alone,” she said. “You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Never give up.
In addition to commenting on the TikTok video, Tammy also shared an optimistic message in the caption of the post.
After saying her life has been a “roller coaster,” she said she’s “proud” of her achievements… and of course she should be.
“We are all in this together and I believe in supporting each other day by day,” she said.
“So, join me in embracing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Let’s move forward with love and positivity!
