Tamy recalls her childhood and admits that she wasn't like everybody else because she struggled socially. She tells that she was laughed by other kids since she would get nervous and stutter.

She saw her father collapse to the floor in the kitchen and had lived with her depressed mon since then. As Tamy is the youngest child in the family with a sister 19 years older than her, she basically grew up with just her parent.

Tamy explains that she started thinking the food was like her friend when she nobody cared about her. 

"I could just eat whatever I wanted, when I wanted, and it was my friend. It was my parent, my friend, my loved one," she said. At the time her mum suffered from depression, she was left the grocery shopping, so she bought all of the soda, pies, and ice cream that she wanted.

"I bought it because she would just give me money, and she let me get whatever I wanted," she recalls. "So I ate junk food all of the time, and I would eat to the point of being sick."

She said she doesn't know why she did it. "It was just I wanted it, so I ate it," she said.

Tamy weighed about 140lbs at her 14, and two years later, at her 16, she weighs 175lbs. She often bullied over her size.

James said he tended to like "big girl" and that's why Tamy attracted him. On the other hand, Tamy said James was the first person who ever paid attention to her. 

Tamy got pregnant just a month after they started dating. 

"For the first time in my whole life things seemed good, but that didn't last long," she talks about their relationship.

Even with her true love, Tamy didn't quit eating for comfort. She longs to get out of her loveless marriage and be a better mon, but she fails to do it. 

"I feel like I'm not living. I'm just existing. It's horrible," she said. She is affected by the emotional pain caused by intense physical pain because of her massive weight.
