What Tammy Patton From My 600-Lb Life Is Doing Now

When people go on My 600-lb Life, they are typically obese to the point that they may suffer severe, life-shortening consequences if they do not act immediately. In season nine, we met Tammy Patton, a woman desperate to change her life.

Distractify reports that at the time of filming her episode, Tammy was a 41-year-old mother of two who weighed about 600 pounds. Her adult daughters, Alize and Serenitti, as well as Tammy's own mother, moved in with her to help her with day-to-day tasks.

In her consultation with Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, known on the show as Dr. Now, Tammy was upfront about the cause of her obesity: food addiction. When Dr. Now asked whether she ate out of hunger or out of habit, Tammy did not hesitate before she answered: habit. "I think it's just not caring what I was putting into my body," she told Dr. Now.

Dr. Now was frank with Tammy. "If you're making the choice to eat whatever you want whenever you want, then there is no magic I can do to make you lose weight," he told her. "All we can do is give you the roadmap of what to do, what not to do. But you're the one who has to make the choice to follow it, and you're going to have to do the hard work."

So, was Dr. Now's advice successful? Here's Tammy today.
