It looks like Tammy Slaton did not get her fairytale ending after all. This season of 1000-lb Sisters, Tammy began dating a man named Phillip. She had hopes that the relationship would turn serious and she would finally find love. However, in the upcoming episode of the TLC show, she reveals that she and Phillip have already split.
Tammy and Phillip’s breakup on ‘1000-lb Sisters’
Tammy’s family members were never in support of her relationship with Phillip. On his social media accounts, he often bragged about how much he loved big women. This made Amy Slaton and other members of Tammy’s family worried that he would sabotage Tammy’s weight loss.
“I’m trying to motivate Tammy, because I do have my worries about Phillip, the new boyfriend,” Amy says in a clip obtained by People. “He loves big women, but she needs to lose this weight.”
However, Amy apparently didn’t have to worry for long because Phillip and Tammy called it quits.
“We broke up,” Tammy tells Amy this week. “I guess you could say I did it, cause I was tired of fighting with him and he said my insecurities were my problem. And, like, at the beginning of the relationship I told him, I was like, can you promise you’ll help me through my insecurities. He said it got to be too much.”
“I’m very quick to trust, and that’s one of my downfalls,” she continues. “So in the long run, I do end up getting hurt real hard, real bad.”
Amy saw the breakup as an opportunity for Tammy to work on herself.
“Him saying you’re insecure and stuff, maybe that needs to be the motivation to be, like, getting your inner demons worked on,” Amy says.
When Tammy asks what Amy meant by an inner demon, she elaborates.
“Yeah, your inner food addiction, and your insecurities,” Amy says. “Now with your Dr. Smith appointment coming up you’ve got to show some real progress, so you need to do this like, every day. Even when I’m not around.”
“Tammy told me she broke up with Phil, and I’m like, about d*mn time. Now you need to work on yourself. Tammy don’t need somebody that wants her to be a glutton,” Amy says in a confessional. “I’m hoping with the whole breakup, it don’t deter Tammy away from her weight loss, because she needs to lose this 25 lbs. The doctor gave her a goal.”
Philip and Tammy’s relationship
Phillip and Tammy met online. After talking for a while, Phillip came to visit Tammy and the two really hit it off. Tammy admitted to her family that Phillip did not want her to get under 300 pounds, but insisted that she didn’t want to lose that much weight either.
Before their split, Tammy had plans to go to Las Vegas to visit Phillip, however, the trip never happened as Tammy has a hard time being mobile or caring for herself.
