Ok so it looks like Amanda’s love life may be just as problematic as Amy and Tammy’s ! Apparently things ended with her Puerto Rican papi (her words not mine ) by him ghosting her after she came back to Kentucky I’m assuming to visit ? This was after she gave up her rental and her job and moved all the way to Florida to be with him , he also apparently had baby mama drama , now she’s back in Kentucky staying with Amy and she has a new boyfriend plastered all over her page
So I’m on season 5 now and I totally feel for Amy. I have been struggling a lot emotionally since having my second child and my heart breaks for her. I am so glad she has a family that really cares about her and wants to see her get better and is willing to help her. I don’t have that and it makes me think how much better it would be to have that support.
It also made me think that Amy and Tammy’s depression comes out in the form of anger. I noticed how Tammy and Amy sort of “switched” demeanors and I truly think it’s from depression. Now that Tammy is getting better her mood has changed and vice versa for Amy. My depression comes out that way as well so watching these episodes has been somewhat therapeutic and eye opening for me too.
Just some thoughts I wanted to put out there.
Dr Procter is an asshole. His bedside manner is shit and he seems to hold so much animosity and judgement towards his clients and their journeys. Vs Dr Smith who seems to genuinely care, have empathy towards his clients, and approach them with gentleness and understanding. It's not at all surprising that Tammy didn't do well under Dr P's care given how harsh he is in his approach. He irritates the fuck out of me.
Am I the only one?
I think he mentioned "being with a younger woman" and I'm just curious HOW much younger.
Just finished season 3 and I love Amy! Sure she has flaws, but in my opinion she's the best part of the show. The wheeze-laughs, the way she innocently asks the producers what things are called, and the word mispronunciations crack me up. I LOLed so hard at "Hooten Whores A Hair" 😂
Not being rude or anything but she lost a lot of weight. She's even smaller than her sister now. I seen the pictures over the years and from 700 and something pounds to only maybe less than 200. She lost quite a bit in 2 and 1/2 years. Is she starting to look sick when she lost that much weight. Is it the depression of losing her husband. Just wondering.
As someone who had the gastric sleeve and had a baby soon after. The way Tammy treats Amy now that she’s a mom makes me so angry.! it’s like she wants to do stuff for her! And acting like Amy responsible for her and being upset about getting a nurse and calling her lazy… like this is YOUR LIFE WTF! I don’t have anyone but my bf to discuss this with besides my bf but man I hope she makes progress as I keep watching! Also Micheal barely talks what’s up with that ?? 😅 love Misty so far!
I made a post 3 days ago asking if I should watch this show. I started watching it this morning and I think I am going to be obsessed. I love reality tv, and this is a different kind of take. I really like it, thanks everyone!
I just finished my 6th rewatch of greys anatomy and I need something to watch before I start greys again. I have seen a few episodes from season one and I am interested and am on my own weight loss journey, down 81 pounds this morning! It is inspiring at all? Is this worth binging?
...for the wedding day. She was the sweetest, kindest soul! Knowing what happens, of course I am in bits right now 😭 grateful to people like her who show genuine care.
He is so stinking adorable! That’s it. I’m on season 3. He is the star of the show! He’s so happy and calm and content. When Amy set up the baby pool for him he was just so excited.
Hey yall I just wanted come in here post that I finally met Amy after hearing about her coming to my job frequently! She’s honestly really nice! I hope a new season comes out soon because I need to know more about the craziness from last season 🥴
I’m watching and this season especially I just feel like everyone is enabling her.
They got to the cabin and Tammy threw a fit and they took her to a hotel. They should have left her in the van until her stubborn ass got up and walked two steps.
They call in her prescriptions, etc. They go out of their way for her instead of making her get up and do things.
I'm watching the episode where Tammy finishes surgery and weeks later wants to come home from rehab but someone would need to do trach training. Anyways, I'm hysterical because the siblings were voicing their opinions and Amy must have wanted to feel powerful or included but when she started standing up and making her points I lost it. Like girl please sit down 😂 (it reminds me of her IQ talk from the post the other day) I'm not sure why it was so funny for me but just the way it played out was something else.
I binged the entire series over the weekend and have so many questions about these rehab centers. Throughout the show, Tammy is shown going in and out of Rehabilitation hospitals that specialize in the longer-term care of individuals who are severely overweight with related disabilities. These centers don't appear to limit the caloric intake of their residents or enforce any sort of diet. There are OT facilities and respiratory care, but many of the people shown with Tammy appear to be stalled out, remaining at very high weights with a myriad of disabilities. Even Tammy's husband is shown discussing how difficult it is to eat right WHILE in the facility.
How is this even possible? I know that these are adults with agency and rights, but if you go to drug rehab, you're not allowed to have drugs. Even those "fat camp" type resorts don't allow outside food. How is it not the same for the Rehab centers?
Edit: I realize this has been discussed before, still my main question pertains to the way that Tammy's husband passed. It appears that he spiraled, stopped his health journey and ultimately died due to his obesity. It's strange that he was allowed to do that because it seems like self harm. You wouldn't be allowed to cut ,starve or poison yourself under medical supervision. They'd place you on a psych hold. How is what happened with him any different?
I truly don’t mean this in a hateful way but she should’ve gotten mental help way before deciding to have kids. Watching the show from s1 to the current season it feels like she has the mind of a child. It’s especially shown with different things like her jokes etc. Not to mention the meltdowns she had about her kids and lashing out at everyone saying nobody was helping her when that’s quite literally all anyone was doing. Granted yes she was probably depressed but like she was advised not to have kids yet and did it anyway twice back to back at that. And then when she was pregnant she constantly blamed her food addiction on the pregnancy which was really annoying. I get wanting to have kids but sometimes you shouldn’t and that doesn’t mean she’s a terrible person I just think she’s mentally unaware of a lot of things but if she would get the help she needs it would be much better I’m sure.
This is all coming from someone who’s 16 btw.
In the first episode of season 2 Amy and Michael call Tammy that they are expecting Tammy replied with "are you serious you know you are not supposed be pregnant I wish the doctor was lying to you." When it first aired everyone ripped Tammy apart because Tammy didn't say congratulations right away but knowing how Amy got pregnant months after surgery, and had not 1 but 2 high risk pregnancies, and everyone knew Amy should have never gotten pregnant when she did Tammy was absolutely right yeah to some Tammy's words may not have been the best but seeing how everything is now Amy should of never of had kids.
Amy getting her karma imo 🤷🏽♀️
So I have been binging this show like crazy. And finding out that Tammy’s husband has passed at the end is WILD! I was BAWLING the entire episode. I know this was during 2023, but still it’s crazy to watch this and find out that Caleb passed.
EDIT: I solely watched the show and did not follow their social medias or anything of the sorts
It just seems kinda mean. IDK. Is it just me?
