'1000-Lb Sisters' Tammy Slaton Sets Sights On Her Dream Car After Reaching Weight Loss Goal

Tammy Slaton's taste in cars is definitely exquisite!

The reality star is ready to hop behind the wheel after smashing her weight goals and getting a much-needed skin removal surgery earlier in the year.

Tammy Slaton became a superstar after she began documenting her weight transformation on the "1000-Lb Sisters" reality show in 2020. Five years later, the TV star is in a much better place and eager to try new things.

Although Tammy is nowhere close to being an ideal driver, she already has an eye on her dream car. In a recent podcast, she expressed her wish to get a classic Ford Mustang GT, lovingly describing it as a vintage stang.

In the same podcast, Tammy admitted to being afraid of semi-trucks, which, according to her, cannot see other drivers on the blind side.

Back to her decision to own a Mustang, the reality star knows her onions. Not only is Mustang a high-performance and horsepower car, butit also has a very spacious interior, adding to its comfort.

As reported by Screenrant, the TV personality will not let her fear of semis overpower her desire to have a good time behind the wheels of her dream car. She admitted that at some point, she would eventually take driving lessons.

Tammy's fear of driving does not end with the semi trucks. She shared on the Creative Chaos podcast that she once had a scary experience where she and the driver fought back sleep while on the road.

According to her, she had to take one for the team and stay awake to help the driver despite not having the slightest idea of how to turn a steering wheel. Afraid of suffering the same fate a second time, the reality star decided to lay her curiosity about driving any car to rest, until now.

She experienced another close shave with an auto accident when she drove a golf cart with her brother, Chris Combs. Initially, Tammy was elated to drive the cart, which was moving at a high speed.

Not long after, the situation became dire as she found herself heading for a tree to avoid a more disastrous collision. The situation left her scarred, as it took her a while to get over it and regain composure.

The 38-year-old and her friend recorded a collective weight loss of over 2k pounds, a significant progress that still left her battling some challenges.

The Blast reported that the content creator admitted that the excess skin that came with shedding all the weight introduced some physical discomfort. 

She declared late last year, before her weight loss surgery, that she sometimes got rashes under her stomach that were prone to infections, and that was a source of worry to her.

Aside from this, Tammy has a lot to be thankful for. The star shared that she was able to cross her legs without breaking a sweat and put on her shoes conveniently while sitting on the toilet.

Tammy showed up on social media oozing confidence with the results of her plastic surgery, which, according to fans, transformed her entire appearance. The Blast shared that Tammy hard-launched her new look in a selfie with her significant other, Andrea.

She also played around with several filters, trying out what she would look like in previous years and centuries. It took a whole lot of convincing for Tammy to go in for the surgery.

According to her, she was skeptical about the procedure as she did not know what the outcome might be and the pain she might experience along the way.

She acknowledged the physical difference she would experience and ultimately concluded it was for the best. "I'm going to look halfway normal from [the] face down. It's scary but rewarding at the same time," she shared.

After three years of dating, Tammy proudly flaunted her engagement ring to Andrea Dalton on the podcast hosted by Hunter Ezell. She noted that their relationship was pretty private, with most of their time spent indoors.

Not only did she get a ring, but Tammy also got a necklace with the inscription "Andrea." The engagement announcement comes months after she revealed that she was dating a woman on the TLC show.

Andrea revealed that they met on a dating app and immediately connected, taking each day slowly and eventually ending up together.

On her choice to keep the relationship away from her family at the time, Tammy declared: "I think I want to approach this relationship differently than I have in the past. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it."

Andrea is Tammy's first relationship since her husband, Caleb Willingham, passed away in July 2023.

Rooting for Tammy Slaton to tick off everything on her bucket list.
