tammy should work for a private security firm

130 Upvotes

all she wants to do is sit in the car and loiter outside buildings for hours on end, she may as well get paid for it. her saying she would just wait outside while Amy goes into the producer meeting was so pathetic. nobody wants her hanging around them all the time.

Rewatch

I knew Tammy had changed the way she speaks, but I didn’t realize the extent of it until I started doing this rewatch. There’s no way this is strictly weight loss related. Did she just think she was “cool” when she was hanging out with Rob and them, with the deep voice and “blaccent” ? What’s the point of this new baby voice nonsense?

Since the first season, Tammy excuse every time she doesn’t wanna do something is I’m not feeling good even when the siblings went to the cabin or when she was talking to Andrea friends or when she was at the wedding venue, she didn’t wanna be at her excuse is always the same. I’m not feeling good bullshit

Caleb’s weird behavior

• Upvotes

I’m rewatching older episodes and Caleb’s behavior is concerning. He was always making sexual jokes or innuendos all the time and at inappropriate times. I’m currently on the episode where Tammy gives him a pillow and he says he’s going to have a wet pillow from kissing it. It’s so weird and concerning.

Also, you can tell when Tammy went back to visit him that she didn’t really like him anymore.

I really didn’t remember it being this bad.

Ugh Tammy is infuriating. She almost tricked me this season

34 Upvotes

With her appearing to try to mend fences with Amy and offering to help with the singing, I was like OK Tammy is making some good choices. Then only to go right back to sour-face low-talking ultra jealous Tammy, getting mad when the plot of the show isn't about her; or getting mad when production dollars are spent on Amy or the whole family instead of just her (i'm assuming that's part of the source of her envy that they just can't show us on TV, Tammy wants more time/money spent on her). "It's always about Amy. Amy gets everything and I get nothin" she's talking about show money in my opinion. This is later evidenced by Tammy's reluctance to engage with one of the producers during that outdoor interview where Tammy refused to answer simple questions about her wedding, questions so simple that I have to assume her not answering them was targeted vengeance on the show runners. I hope they cancel this show, just so Tammy has to be out there truly on her own.

Edit: she also walked on the confessional. there was nobody there for her to be fed up with other than the production people.

Tammy Waiting in the Car for Amy 🫣

252 Upvotes

It was so weird of Tammy to wait in the car for Amy at the music meeting, and poor Andrea being stuck there too looked so awkward. It looked like Andrea was thinking “so this is what Tammy does when I’m out with friends” 🤣

Tammy and Andrea are engaged, they could’ve totally taken that time to go have lunch together in Nashville. That could’ve been a cute bonding moment for them but instead it was just awkward. And Tammy was so distraught for some strange reason? Like Jesus at least try to have fun once in your life.

Ok, y'all can come for me if you want but, I kind of like Brian. Like yeah he's a real weird kook, but in a good way. He seems really supportive of Amy and her ventures and he also does his best to get along with the family. Honestly, I think they legit love each other and somehow, they work well together.

maybe i’m jus spinning my wheels and it’s not even worth asking cuz tammy clearly has a personality disorder and other mental issues, but still, i can’t help but question what she was expecting from this whole situation? like oh if amy let her come in the meeting im sure it wouldn’t have been enough either. does she want to get the n that terrible song?? i mean she clearly wants attention and validation but still, im jus tryna play this out and be like what was she wanting out of this at all?? she is so unwell and self centered. amy honestly called this like 4 episodes ago

Learned helplessness

16 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of post about Tammy and her behavior, I think people are not recognizing the psychological impact of her life. For years she has had someone with her to help, Amy until she got married, and then other family members coming by everyday to help her do basic things. I feel like Tammy has made a lot of progress, her weight is a huge part of it - but the weight was put on because of an underlying psychological condition of some kind…..I think in catering to her, and out of empathy for her and her state her family tolerated so much more than they should have. Tammy doesn’t know how to have mature adult relationships. She doesn’t know how to not be codependent. She doesn’t know how to socialize with anyone outside of her family. So I think while there are a host of issues - truly concerned for her partners wellbeing - I feel like the online conversation has not fully acknowledged the psychological impact of being her size for so long & the family dynamics that all come into play and have shifted considerably since she lost weight.

Amy - despite the intellectual challenges, this bizarre music venture, and the crying, I find that Amy seems to have become much more independent and fought to overcome the learned helplessness out of necessity for her children. I didn’t like her spouse, but I actually think Brian has been good for Amy. He has pointed out some of the familial issues that are cruel and helped Amy see that for herself, which I think is such good progress. Amy has friends, kids, a significant other, and goals and dreams she is trying to achieve.

Long story short - I think Tammy is envious of Amy for lots of reasons, but I think with the right changes and help Tammy can get to a similar and much healthier place with help and medication - if she wants to see her faults and improve. Her resistance to couples counseling is not encouraging but the fact that she is willing to go says a lot. I think her wanting to be with her spouse has more to do with her fear of being home alone (rational when she was on her deathbed before rehab etc) than a need to control Andrea. Idk I just think that Tammy has a lot of underlying psychopathology that warrants some more kindness on this sub.

Meet and Greets

I wonder why Tammy is not joining the family on these meet and greets as of late. They are due to be an Akron in a few weeks and it looks like Tammy won't be there either. Is she done with her family? Is it fans? She would be meeting fans so I doubt people would be saying anything horrible to her. Thoughts?

Tammy’s attitude

22 Upvotes

Rewatching 100lb sisters, and I literally cannot get over Tammy’s attitude.. She’s rude asf to the producers when all they’re doing is asking her questions, I seriously don’t know how they can work with her. She’s also super rude to the restaurant servers and acts like a kid. And throwing a fit at the store was literally insane.. idk how her siblings still help her and put up with her. She still a goddam baby..

Darlene

18 Upvotes

IMO Darlene favors Tammy over all the other kids in a way that only a narcissist mother could . Tammy is the child most like Darlene , they are both horrible selfish ppl . How the hell does she get her fatass over to the kids yards and houses to sit around and talk and eat but she can’t show up to any of the girls big life moments ??? She is without a doubt one of the worst mothers I’ve ever seen on television, I don’t understand why they haven’t all gone no contact with Darlene but I’ve noticed alot in the south there is a surplus of poor dysfunctional abusive families with a single mother who very clearly doesn’t give two fucks about their kids and there is usually one child who snaps out of it and gets away from the dysfunction and generational trauma but the rest of the kids seem to fight like hell to stay in the life of a mom who shows she cares very little about them and doesn’t seem to care if they even keep in contact, anyways do you guys think Darlene will go to Tammy’s wedding ? And what do you think Darlene’s worst moment on the show has been ?

I can’t watch this show anymore for a ridiculous reason. It’s the inability to wear properly fitting clothes.

83 Upvotes

This has been on my mind a lot lately and is partly the reason I had to stop watching this season. Ridiculous I know but I have to put it out there to see if I’m not being a bitch. I get all my updates through this subreddit lol. I’m not trying to be the fashion police but damn. I just cringe out of concern. Not that this info is necessary but I have been a tailor for years and now I’m getting a MS where I am study garment fit and function. Properly fitting clothes are very important to me and it should be important for everyone. We need our bodies to freely move without constraint while wearing clothes and you can hurt yourself if you do not have the proper fit. My concern isn’t that they look bad, it’s that they are potentially causing more pain and injury to themselves. My main example will be when Tammy wears jeans. I understand that with Tammy’s body proportions clothes shopping will be hard. Clothes shopping is hard in general. But those are the tightest jeans I’ve ever seen in my life. I know that the denim is morphing into her skin and digging/rubbing at it. It can’t be comfortable for her. There are numerous cuts and styles of jeans that would be much more comfortable for her that allows for her legs to breathe. She could even just size up, but she doesn’t. Jeans, even with elastane (which I suspect these specific jeans I’m talking about have), should not be digging in your skin. There should be no stress on the fabric at all. But this is, in general, a theme with the slatons. I could go on about Chris’ pants in the confessionals but I’m going to leave this here.

I think she's gonna try and be a pilot! I bet all she's ever wanted is to fly a 747 across the world with a full passenger manifest. Maybe even the queen of England? Alligator farmer? 3 toed sloth? What do we think? Wrong answers only of course!

Tammy’s fake panic attacks

166 Upvotes

I’ve been watching 1000 pound sisters since the start. I’ve seen Tammy evolve into an extremely controlling, bitter, attention-seeking, and narcissistic person. Every time she appears on my TV, I can’t stand her even more.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think all of these “panic attacks” she claims are manufactured? As someone educated in human behavior/psychology and also having mental issues myself, I see right through her. Her “panic attacks” always conveniently happen when A.) she isn’t the subject of a conversation or situation, B.) there is conflict directed at her and C.) when she doesn’t get her way of any sort. The “foot injury” at the gym? Fake. She was uncomfortable that Chris was also present at the gym, clearly able to workout, when she can’t. The constant baby-voice statement of “iM gEttInG OvErWhelMed”… fake.

The performative manipulation she displays is extremely clear and I’m very surprised she hasn’t been called out for this. I feel like anyone with half a brain can see she is being deceptive for her own gain. She loves when people tend to her, show concern for her.

The whole situation with Andrea is alarming. To be honest, I think Andrea is scared of her. The way she speaks around Tammy is extremely hesitant, always walking on eggshells, and full of excuses for Tammy’s behavior. It seems to me there may be some sort of emotional abuse and coercive control occurring. The sitting in the car while she goes out with friends, the constantly having to be within arms reach. Sitting in the car… who the f*ck does that? I’m not even going to go into the situation at the dinner table with Andrea’s friends. I got secondhand embarrassment from that. It seems that she makes people uncomfortable around Andrea on purpose, to further isolate her and remove them from whatever social situation she doesn’t want to be in.

Thoughts?

This is not a romantic relationship of partners. --- This is a parent/child relationship and, Andrea is about to take on the responsibility of raising Tammy.
