1000-lb The actresses are sisters. Tammy Slaton burst into tears while talking with her therapist about her connection with alcohol and food.
Tammy, 36, is shown in a new TLC series clip receiving therapy in order to get authorised for surgery.
This comes after a harrowing few episodes showcasing the aftermath of Tammy being rushed to hospital after she ‘topped breathing’ and ‘blacked out’.
Her family, including co-star and sister Amy, were terrified for her safety when she suffered a near-fatal health scare.
Tammy also discusses how she was ‘on the verge of dying’ in new sequences.
‘I got super depressed,’ she begins, saying: ‘I started partying, drinking, smoking’.


‘Almost anything can become an addiction, what is it that you got from food, or alcohol, or drugs, in the past?’ her therapist replies.
‘Nothing’, Tammy bluntly says, before struggling to go on.
‘I don’t want to talk about it’, she continues, shaking her head at the camera.
‘I really don’t want to talk about all that,’ she later tells the camera, when producers probe her on drinking.
‘It was a hard time for me, a lot of mental health is letting go, I don’t want to go through that all again’, she says.
Tammy bursts into tears when the video returns to her conversation with her therapist, refusing to discuss her addiction.
