When Tammy began her weight loss journey, she weighed 717lbs (51.2 stone). However, with her determination and a stay at a food rehabilitation center, she has managed to transform her life and shed around 400lbs (28.6 stone).
Unfortunately, Tammy has faced some hardships in her life. In June, it was revealed that her husband, Caleb Willingham, had passed away. Their marriage had only lasted since November 2022.
Tammy recently opened up about the devastating news of her husband’s death. She learned about it through a text message after leaving the rehab facility where they had met. Caleb had chosen to stay behind.
A mutual friend informed Tammy that Caleb’s health had worsened and he was gravely ill. Tammy described her reaction, saying, “I was curled up in a ball. I received a text message from his friend, saying, ‘Caleb’s not doing well. They’re trying to save him.’ Twenty minutes later, he texted me again, saying he was gone.”
Despite her heartbreak, Tammy shared that she is coping “fairly well” with Caleb’s passing. To keep his memory close, she wears two pieces of jewelry made from his ashes—a ring and a necklace. She finds comfort in knowing that he is always with her. Tammy admitted that she often holds the necklace, and taking off her jewelry makes her anxious, as if she is separated from Caleb. Additionally, she watches episodes of 1000-lb Sisters to remind herself of happier moments shared with him.
