In tonight’s 1000-lb Sisters episodeTammy’s visit with Caleb didn’t go as planned. She was disappointed to learn that he was eating snack cakes, cookies, and a bunch of junk food that he didn’t even bother to hide. It’s like he wanted her to see his failure. He was supposed to be losing weight to qualify for surgery.
It would have put him one step closer to reuniting with his wife for good. Only he did everything wrong the second she wasn’t watching. He began overeating again. He was recently hospitalized. He was killing himself and so Tammy tried to put things to right when she saw him. She made him throw out all of the junk food. They did a cleansing ceremony. And he promised he’d leave the rehab one day to live with her.
Tammy accepted his new attitude while at the same time being a little disappointed. She’s finally gotten her life on track. Her relationship with Caleb simply reminded her how long that had taken.
It was years before Tammy got serious about weight loss. She had to almost die for that to happen. Her family literally were forced to say their goodbyes to her and she didn’t want that to happen with Caleb. She wanted him to come to the realization much quicker than she did. She wants them to start a new life together outside of the rehab center.
Caleb did get rid of the junk. He made promises that he’ll get his act together. He then arranged to have a romantic dinner for just the two of them in his room.
Caleb did everything wrong with that date. He opened a bottle of champagne when Tammy shouldn’t be drinking. He ordered in a bunch of fried food that Tammy refused to eat because she saw the food as him backsliding on his promises. He shouldn’t be eating that food. She shouldn’t be eating that food. He pretended that he ordered the things she used to like and he forgot there’s a reason she doesn’t like them anymore.
Tammy shouldn’t be eating those things. She was sticking to her diet of eating healthy. He should have remembered that or was sabotaging her the whole goal? That dinner made it very clear that Caleb wasn’t working on his food addiction.
He wanted to give in to it. He wanted to eat as much as he likes and he didn’t want to give that up. Maybe that’s why he tried to sabotage her. There will be some that claim he wasn’t trying to sabotage and that he wanted to do something romantic for her. And the answer to that would be why didn’t he get something healthy for a person on a health kick?
here’s plenty of romantic dinners that weren’t fried in fat!
Caleb did everything wrong on one of the few visits he had with his wife. He tried to push her into eating the food. He then broke into tears right as she was leaving. He was saying all these things about how he feels like he lost a part of her and that he’s worried she’ll give up on him. He was such a mess that Tammy said she’s the strong one in their relationship. She felt she had to be strong for him. She couldn’t give up on him or else his addiction will spiral out of control. The saddest part about all of that is the fact their story didn’t end happily.
Tammy was the only one fighting for her marriage. Caleb seemed bent on self-destruction. He eventually does pass away and Tammy probably blames herself for it. But she did everything she could for him. Tammy later tried to talk to Amy about it and it was like Amy didn’t get it. Amy reminded Tammy that it took her forever to get serious about her health. She mentioned how Tammy’s cheat days turned into cheat years. She felt like Tammy’s issues with her husband was a pot calling a kettle black.
Amy didn’t take Tammy’s problems with her marriage as seriously as she did her own. Amy was going through a divorce and fighting with her ex-husband over custody. He wanted a fifty-fifty split and they both know its because he wants to ditch his kids with his mother for most of his visit. He doesn’t know anything about taking care of those babies. He was simply toying with Amy with this divorce. Which was why Amy had her own cleansing ceremony. She turned destroying her wedding gown into a fun little side thing she could do with her sisters.
Amy wasn’t taking Tammy’s concerns seriously. She was also the one that was no longer taking her own weight loss seriously. Chris arranged for a fun race in his yard and Amy couldn’t bring herself to do it. She also couldn’t bring herself to fly for their next family vacation. She refused to fly. She’s been on a plane once and she said she’ll never do it again. She said she’ll drive down for their next vacation. It was a ten hour drive and Chris already said he wasn’t doing it. Who does she think is going to drive her?
That’s the new Amy for you. She’s being unreasonable and even bitchy while Tammy was the new calm one. Tammy has no problem with flying for their next vacation. She also was really happy that the family was working out together. They later took dance workout classes. Tammy stayed on her feet the whole time. She danced. She had fun. It was Amy who refused to take part. She left the class to burst out into tears. She said her stomach hurt. She came up with all these excuses and it was so odd that it was coming from her. And not Tammy.
Amy admitted she hasn’t used the bathroom to go number two in two weeks. She’s got divorce constipation. The family tried to make a joke of that and she snapped at them. Amy also tried storming off with the words “I’m done”.
True fans remember when that was Tammy’s motto!
Amy’s divorce was changing her in the worst possible ways.
THE END!
