Well, losing weight has never been an easy task, especially for someone like Tammy, who already weighs over 600 Lbs and has a food addiction. People often judge her and bully her for her weight. Besides, she had faced these criticisms even before she appeared on the show. Previously, the Kentucky native revealed details related to her toxic childhood. Tammy and Amy’s childhood was very poor and they couldn’t afford a lot of food. Hence, they initially survived on fast food as their mother only had money for that. However, when they ran out of all the money they had, the local church in their town gave them food to survive.
