Tammy Slaton opens up with her fans
Tammy Slaton has been on a long journey when it comes to her weight loss. Now, she’s opening up with fans on how she got to where she is now. The journey, of course, hasn’t always been smooth. The TLC star took to TikTok to talk about some of the bumps in the road – including her time turning to alcohol.
While fans watched Tammy fall apart on TV, Tammy was actually really struggling with giving up food. According to the star, while trying to give up the food, she turned to alcohol instead.
“I think I was so focused on losing weight [that] I lost myself,” Tammy says in the video. “Lost who I was and turned to alcohol.” She continues to note that she “turned to alcohol instead of food.”
Moving forward in her journey
Tammy isn’t letting her past define her now though! She is confidently moving ahead and not turning to her old habits for support.
“It’d be so easy to fall back into bad habits and gain all the weight back,” she says. “Then was this all for? Wasted time, wasted money, wasted effort—waste.”
Tammy reveals that now, she’s just reflecting on how big she once was.
“I take a lot of pictures, a lot of selfies and I do, not because I think I look good—well, I do, a little bit. But mostly because I want to remember how big I was, what I look like,” she says.
She’s made significant changes to her body, losing over 500 pounds. Now, she wants her fans to know that they aren’t alone in whatever journey they are on.
“You’re not alone. You can do anything once you put your mind into it. Never give up,” she concludes.
