Tammy Slaton Shares How Mental Health Impacted Her Weight
In August, Tammy Slaton revealed that she’d dropped a total of 500 pounds. At her highest weight, Tammy was 717 pounds.
The TLC star said that she attributes much of her weight gain to having poor mental health. She admitted that she was depressed and had a food addiction. The only thing that brought her comfort was food and she didn’t have any support to help her find different ways of coping.
“The mental aspect of it does play a lot. Being depressed and having a food addiction, eating my feelings, I was taking it out on the food. There’s so many things that can go wrong. Life is scary,” she said.
As fans know, Tammy underwent bariatric surgery in 2022. She has recently been promoting products that help other individuals get through the months after having such surgery. Tammy has referred to Pop Recovery Systems as her “backbone” throughout the recovery phase.
The program apparently provided her with moral support from other individuals who are going through similar things. “I did turn to food for a little bit,” she said. “But I realized it and now I’m back on track.”
Now, she is using her social media presence to reach out and help others.
