1000-Lb Sisters’ Tammy Was Living An Unsustainable Life Pre-Rehab
With Tammy finally back home after being in rehab for over a year, adjusting back to “normal” life may be difficult. When Tammy left Kentucky, she was living a completely unsustainable life. She had been slacking with her weight loss and binge drinking; Tammy, who may not change in 2023, didn’t seem to care about her health anymore. After a medical emergency that left her with a trach tube, she entered the Ohio-based facility and took charge of her health. Now, with a new outlook, it may be difficult for Tammy to go back to the place she left as a whole new person without her rehab support system.
1000-Lb Sisters’ Tammy May Fall Back Into Back Habits
Falling back into bad habits can be incredibly easy, especially in the environment where they formed in the first place. With Tammy back in Kentucky, she will be in the same place she was prior to her weight loss and other changes in her life. Without the support of her rehab, she will need to make her own healthy choices amidst the somewhat chaotic behavior of her family and friends. On top of Tammy needing to reintegrate into her routine, Tammy will be adding her husband, Caleb Willingham, to the mix, which may cause more harm than good for the newlywed as she may put her husband’s needs before her own.

Regardless of the wait, it will be interesting to see the shift in Tammy’s life, for better or worse.
