The two of them were poor...fat... and not able to work....doing YouTube  videos gave them some income....embarrassing themselves for  subscribers...

then that crossed over to becoming freak show contestants on TLC.  Sad really, but a person does what they can to survive....and to feed Tammy😄

It seems like watching a form of addiction killing these two people.  If the drug was alcohol or meth, would people watch in the same way and if not, what's the difference except with food, many more people understand it better. 

There may be more viewers thinking "there for the grace of God go I"? or at least understand the difficulty of one reasonably sized helping or the insatiable appetite. 

Just look at all of the many diet programs on the market right now, it's incredible, they'll personalize them for a price.  Other addicts don't have nearly the support systems available.  Just an observation.

I remember back in the '90s, we had a neighbor diagnosed with advanced lung cancer from years of smoking. The doctors told her to quit, but she asked "why quit now?" The damage was done. She didn't make it 6 months. 

Maybe Tammy is thinking the same thing. The damage is done. Might as well enjoy doing what you love until you die. Then again, maybe not. I don't know. I can't imagine having such an addiction to something (whether food, smoking, drinking, etc) that will ultimately destroy you. I kind of feel sorry for Tammy. What a horrible thing to have any addiction...

In the last episode Tammy told the dentist (she had not seen one in 10 years) that she " tried to brush her teeth twice a week". I guess when one let's everything go in their life, they really let it ALL go. Truly sad.

Yes, I have seen the show but don't care if I miss it or not.... and even with Amy's success find both of them incredibly sad, hard to watch and I don't find their humor funny.... so, I miss most of it.  Believe me I understand how hard it is to change life-long eating habits and changing the way you eat is possibly one of the worst because a person has to continue to eat, you can't just "give it up".... so I really wish both of them (and brother) the best of luck getting to their goals.

"Intervention" was a reality show on A & E that showed people with drug and alcohol addictions. It was a popular show.

Tammy seems to be very jealous of Amy.

She is not a very nice person sometimes.......a lot of times!

Food delivery service was provided and she ate all 32 days worth of meals in 2 days.............
