Tammy May Move Away From Her Sister

Tammy May Be Eager To Expand Her Horizons

Tammy and Amy have always been very close. With a one-year age gap, they have experienced the same phases of life together.

They have grown older, created YouTube videos, and debuted on reality TV together. Sadly, the last few years have been very stressful for them both. They have been in several unhealthy arguments, which have shown them slowly drifting apart. The newer seasons of TLC's 1000-LB Sisters have also highlighted that the Slaton sisters are no longer as close as they used to be in the early days of the show.

One reason Tammy may be considering moving away from Kentucky is that she and Amy no longer share the same goals. Previously, Tammy and Amy bonded over their struggles with obesity and were able to relate to each other despite frequent arguments. However, their lives have changed significantly since their debut, leading them to pursue different goals, which have driven them apart. Amy has gone through a divorce and is focusing on raising her children in Kentucky, while Tammy, who is now single and more physically active after losing over 500 pounds, may have a desire to explore new opportunities.
