Reality TV will show the day-to-day lives of individuals in whatever setting they find themselves. For Tammy Slaton, that meant “1,000-Lb Sisters” would showcase the hardship of her weight loss journey. However, it also allowed the audience to take a peek into her life and see what she did on a daily basis.
During Season 3 of the show, Slaton was seen hanging out with some friends who were taking her down an unhealthy path. The four of them were vaping, drinking, and eating food that would distract Slaton from her end goal of losing weight. Fans began to wonder how this would affect her life and how good (or bad) this was for her. One fan went as far as to say, “You can tell they are just there and not genuinely friends with Tammy.”

These moments on the show were controversial and made people wonder if Slaton was serious about her health. However, Slaton explained why she was behaving that way during an episode, “As a teenager I wasn’t doing any partying. I was super shy about my weight, and I really didn’t have too many friends. So, like, I just stayed in my little bubble. But now I’m to the point where I don’t care. I’m gonna be me. Whether you like it, he likes it, she likes it, we all don’t like it. I don’t care. I want to be me.”
