applewood January 26, 2022 Share January 26, 2022 It's so frustrating that Amy doesn't seem to listen to the doctor at all. Wasn't she supposed to wait longer after the surgery before getting pregnant with Gage and now she is pregnant again when the doctor is saying she should wait longer before getting pregnant again. Didn't Misty say something also about how it's going to be hard on her if she has two close together. And she says that her and Tammy were 15 months apart so that's what she wants. sigh. BTW, I haven't watched the show for long. Do either Amy or Michael work? What do they do? 5 Link to comment

I don't see her ever getting below 250, never mind reaching 150. Tammy is a lost cause so there's no point even commenting on her.

lulu69 January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 (edited) I find it interesting that both Dr. Smith & Tammy's siblings chalk Tammy's binge drinking/vaping/possible drug use to her 'hitting bottom' or just giving up. I'm no psychologist but I see Tammy as a manipulative rebellious teenager acting out to get attention. Tammy's drinking & partying didn't start until Chris, Amanda, Misty & Amy all washed their hands of Tammy & told her she's on her own. The siblings are moving on with their lives, esp. with Amy moving away & Chris getting bariatric surgery/losing a significant amt. of weight. Queen Tammy no longer has everyone to wait on her & be at her beck and call. She's no longer the center of attention & she knows it. By being a 'problem' child Tammy has once again forced herself to the front & center of her familys' lives. They sit around talking about her, calling her, visiting her, catering to her, etc. etc. Maybe Tammy even thought that now her siblings have no choice but to take care of her. Anyway, that's my armchair diagnosis. Edited January 27, 2022 by lulu69 3 19 Link to comment

She is constantly trying to be the center of attention, no matter what it takes. In regards to whether or not she knows she's near the end and has given up on life, I think she's in extreme denial. Whenever the family talks about how they might have to bury her soon, she usually replies with "that's NOT going to happen!", and when confronted with health issues she acts how a teenager would act after an adult catches them drinking and explains the consequences to them. Just brushes it off and thinks she's invincible, and just "so cool" all while knowing this will get attention from her family. It's like she's mentally stuck at the age of 13.

She said it was due to the stress of her husband leaving and being a single parent, having to prepare snacks for her children, and being around them all day. Fair enough. It is very tempting to grab a cookie when we are giving the kiddos a cookie. It doesn't ever occur to these morbidly obese people that they can give their children healthy snacks too.

RedDelicious January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 I feel like grape salad is the Midwest answer to the South's ambrosia salad. It sounds delicious to me. Add celery and chicken and it becomes Waldorf Salad. But besides that, Amy has a pretty longstanding history of eating odd combinations for her food challenges. I don't think she needs to be pregnant for that 😄 1 7 Link to comment

Even though the kid was not at all smart, they managed to get him some pretty big gigs and one of them was a segment on a late night show. The host of the show asked him a question, and the kid just giggled. The host thought this was hysterical and made a big deal out of the giggle, even giggling right back at him.. From that point on, whenever he appeared anywhere, the giggle became his response to almost all questions. His chef gig didn't last for very long. My point being, Amy has come out with some pretty funny malapropisms over the years. Now I think the producers have decided to have her do them on a very frequent basis. The producers have decided to have her say things like, does it take longer to drive somewhere in a car or fly there, simple things that any fourth grader would know. The constant references to and the actual act of farting all the time would be another example. Another would be ending each sentence with "bitch". I think they need to be careful, because, just like the giggle, this gets old, fast and the gig could soon be over. Don't forget to add "tenture tantrums" to that list. Every time she says it I cringe. It's funny because all this time I was thinking Amy was older than Tammy. I guess it's because she looks like she's 50 instead of 33. 1 3 Link to comment

I think it goes to show how much poor diet, poor nutrition and overall poor lifestyle choices wreck havoc on one’s body as the years go on. I thought she was my grandmothers age. She turned 90 2 weeks ago and has no need for a wheelchair or walker, She also grew up in extreme poverty (no electricity or plumbing and 10 people living in a 2 room shack) and abuse but growing up on a farm she still eats better then most people. She also took her life back in the early 80s when she had her dad and me and my brother to take care of. She got her GED and opened her own business which she was very successful at and just retired less then 10 years ago. 11 Link to comment

I was sure Chris had said he was type 1 diabetic, which would make it impossible to get off insulin. I wish Amy, and Michael, would take seriously Gage’s potential future health if they don’t learn proper diet and nutrition. The whole family is obese and from a young age. I hope Gage can avoid that but a lot depends on Amy and Michael learning proper eating habits. My mom is 87 and looks and acts younger than Darlene. I’ve never seen a 60 year old look so old.

The top half of her face doesn't look bad--she doesn't have many wrinkles--at least not many that I noticed on my 24-inch TV. 🤭 With a set of dentures, a dye job, and a little make-up, I'm betting she would wouldn't look half bad. 2 1 Link to comment

Lots of talk about how much a parent loves a child don’t mean much when their actions don’t support it. You might hear all kinds of expressions about how they would lay down their life for their child, but in reality that’s not required. What the child needs is a thinking and caring parent who provides for their health, education and welfare. I wish Amy would dispense with the theatrics and do the work to get her house in order, nutrition as a priority and listen to medical advice. Who cares for Gage if she dies or suffers disability during her next pregnancy that her doctor has warned her about? It’s all about what Amy wants, imo. Gage’s welfare doesn’t seem to be a priority to her based on what I’ve seen. Oh, did Dr. Proctor comment on Amy’s troubling cough? Does she smoke? It sounds horrible. Hope she gets it checked out. I once commented to a close pregnant family friend that the greatest gift you could give your child would be to be raised from birth with good eating habits and an appreciation for good nutrition. She looked at me like I was crazy! She and the father are very obese and survived on take out and food buffets for years. The child is now a teen and very obese as well. 😔 Wasn’t there suppose to be another scene with Tammy laying down in the back seat? I was busy. Maybe, I missed it.

I thought 1000 Pound Sisters described the combined weight of Tammy and Amy when the show started (maybe 600 Tammy and 400 Amy). It might still be accurate with Tammy at 725 and Amy at 275 lol.

She may have a hard time because she is surrounded by open fields because that is where they live. 1 Link to comment

Amy’s duplex was surrounded by open fields (hence her explanation that the field mice come in from the cold) with her sole neighbor being Tammy lol. But even if the roaches travelled from Tammy’s to Amy’s how were they introduced into the building at all. I have heard they can hide in the flaps of brown paper bags and Tammy does get a lot of deliveries . . . . They also will come with cardboard, so the deliveries are possible. My childhood home would get them from the huge bags of potatoes, because they would have some deteriorating potatoes, and the roaches were in there, too. I don't keep any cardboard around. I store things in plastic storage containers, not cardboard. Another problem with roaches is that they carry disease. Hantavirus, and other diseases are spread by mice. I'm betting if the roaches and mice were that bad at the old house, that Amy carried them with her to the new house. There is no reason that they took that nasty mattress with them to their new house. I bet there were a lot of little creatures that went to their new house. In older houses, mice are terribly hard to keep out. They can get through tiny holes, and once they're in your house, they're very hard to get rid of. Amy will never keep that house clean. Moving was her big chance to clear out a lot of stuff they no longer needed, and start fresh. I bet Amy dragged everything from her old house to the new one. (By the way, I hate Ambrosia salad too. It's nothing but a bowl of fat and sugar. I really don't like any molded jello stuff either. ) Edited January 29, 2022 by CrazyInAlabama 3 Link to comment

I think that might be changing; the doctor told Amy that genetically Gage had a very good chance of having a weight problem as well and told them to meet with the nutritionist/dietician at his clinic that day. I'd like to think that happened... 🥺 3 Link to comment
