00:00 No, I do want to learn eventually,
00:04 but right now just anxieties a little too much.
00:09 Tammy Slayton might be going full speed
00:11 ahead on her weight loss,
00:12 but she's putting the brakes
00:13 on learning how to drive.
00:15 The 1000 pound sister star takes to her TikTok
00:17 earlier this week to answer a fan's question
00:20 about if she plans on learning how to drive anytime soon.
00:23 The question comes a few weeks after an episode
00:25 of the 37 year olds TLC series
00:27 showed her successfully attempting
00:29 to sit in the front seat of a car
00:31 for the first time in almost two decades.
00:33 You all right?
00:38 Yeah.
00:39 There you go, girl.
00:53 Holy (beep)
00:56 I did it!
00:58 And while the Kentucky native says
00:59 she would like to get behind the wheels someday,
01:01 right now, anxiety is standing in her way.
01:04 No, I do want to learn eventually,
01:08 but right now just anxieties a little too much.
01:12 A lot going on.
01:13 The baby steps.
01:16 But yes, eventually I do want to drive a car.
01:20 This isn't the first time Tammy has been open
01:22 about her struggle with anxiety.
01:23 She shared a video on her TikTok last year
01:25 giving followers an inside look
01:27 on how she manages her stress.
01:29 - But I had a friend message me here on TikTok
01:32 and they were asking me about anxiety
01:34 and how I,
01:36 how I, like,
01:40 get rid of it or, you know, have,
01:44 I don't know how you got, what you got,
01:46 but what I do to prevent it, like,
01:50 just go be by yourself
01:54 and just meditate kinda, I guess.
01:59 You just let go.
02:01 Just,
02:01 just let go.
02:09 Hope that this helps some of y'all.
02:15 Y'all have a great day.
02:18 I love y'all.
02:19 - While Tammy might be adding driving lessons
02:21 to her New Year's resolutions,
02:22 the reality star has a lot of accomplishments
02:24 to be proud of from 2023.
02:26 Tammy spent 14 months in a weight loss rehab center
02:29 over the past year,
02:30 where she underwent bariatric surgery
02:32 and other treatments for weight loss,
02:34 resulting in her losing more than 400 pounds.
02:38 You can follow Tammy's continued weight loss journey
02:40 on the current season of "1000 Pound Sisters,"
02:42 which airs Tuesdays at 9 o'clock p.m. on TLC.
02:46 - This season on "1000 Pound Sisters."
02:49 - They're not gonna approve me to go home.
02:52 I can't imagine walking out of this place
02:55 without my husband, but I lost almost 300 pounds
02:59 and I'm ready to conquer the world.
