Tammy Slaton isn’t letting anyone go through their health journey alone or without a little treat.
The 1000-Lb Sisters star recently shared personal aspects of her weight loss journey—and the trick recipe that helped her get there. On Sept. 23, Tammy, 38, posted a selfie with an iced coffee and detailed that it was made with instant coffee, sugar free flavored syrups and flavored protein powder.
In a follow up post, Tammy shared another photo with her beverage of choice and revealed how it’s brought her joy during her weight loss journey—and helped her reach her daily protein intake.
“Lol posing with my proffee like lol,” she wrote. “Proud of myself. Over 25g of protein and this is my second one.”
After her two posts with her protein drink, Tammy got a little more personal with her message, as she revealed how challenging weight loss could be due to her food addiction.
“The Mental Battle is Real ‘The mental aspect plays a significant role. Being depressed and having a food addiction, I often ate my feelings, taking out my emotions on food,’” she captioned a photo of the inspirational meme. “So many of us can relate to this struggle. It’s not just about food—it’s about dealing with the deeper emotional challenges we face. Healing starts from the inside, and I’m here to share my journey to show that you are never alone in this fight. #MentalHealthMatters #FoodAddiction #EmotionalHealing #WeightLossJourney #TammyJourney #Transformation #YouAreNotAlone #OvercomeObstacles #StrongerTogether.”
In August, Tammy—who stars on the TLC series with her sister Amy Slaton—revealed that she had lost a total of 500lbs. And since then, the reality star has been on a mission to help those around her. On Sept. 19, Tammy reintroduced herself via an Instagram video where she told her new followers that come to her page, “you’re gonna find motivation, realness from me and hopefully inspiration for you to continue on your journey.”
Making it clear that her account was a safe space, she added, “Whether [you’ve lost] 500 lbs. like I [did], or you almost lost all your weight, whether you deal with depression or feel like you don’t want to do tomorrow, just know you are safe here.”
