-
what they eat, twenty three year old Tammy
Jung works tirelessly to put on weight.
-
COMM: Tammy from West Hollywood, California
-
is a gainer, and she's actively trying to
become as fat as possible.
-
JOHAN: "You want one of these?"
-
TAMMY: I weigh myself every morning, to see
-
how much I'm gonna eat throughout the day,
how much I need to take in, how much I need
-
to take in making sure I don't lose any weight,
um, and I weight myself at night to see the
-
work that I did and be proud of myself.
-
JOHAN: "Good job baby."
-
TAMMY: I'm all dirty, ugh my stomach hurts.
-
COMM: Currently Tammy weighs sixteen and a
-
half stone but with the help of her boyfriend
Johan she hopes to more than double her weight.
-
TAMMY: "Two twenty nine point five. That's
-
not so good. Make me eight waffles, cottage
cheese and cream cheese, bacon, chocolate
-
milk, syrup, maybe some donuts, a cookie,
a chocolate bar. Yeah that should be good."
-
COMM: Despite her tender years, Tammy's obsession
-
with getting bigger has already dramatically
altered her appearance.
-
TAMMY: A long time ago I used to be very insecure.
-
I was never good enough, always fat, always
thought myself as fat, until I hit that goal
-
weight about one hundred and eighty to two
hundred where I just woke up one morning and
-
just felt the best I'd ever felt in my whole
life.
-
COMM: Tammy's eating exploits have gained
-
her an army of admirers, who watch her gorge
on fatty foods and videos which she makes
-
and posts online.
-
TAMMY: "Hi, it's sexy signature, and today
-
I'm going to be playing with my doughy, big,
plump belly."
-
TAMMY: I get a lot of different requests from
-
fans, people have told me I've done the best
videos they've ever seen.
-
COMM: However not everyone agrees with Tammy's
-
lifestyle. Her best friend Samantha worries
for her health.
-
TAMMY: "Hi!"
-
SAMANTHA: When Tammy told me she was doing
-
it on purpose, I kinda freaked out. And got
very upset and scared for her. I want her
-
to be able to be here for a long time.
-
COMM: And Tammy's doctor has concerns of his
-
own.
-
DOCTOR: She is causing her life to be shorter,
-
she has taken the risk of dying, early.
-
COMM: However Tammy remains unrepentant.
-
TAMMY: After seeing the doctor it's not gonna
-
change my goal, I still wanna hit two fifty,
I still wanna hit three hundred. I don't feel
-
like I'm sacrificing my youth, I feel like
I'm only enhancing my life.
-
COMM: And Tammy has super-sized dreams for
-
the future.
-
COMM: My career ambition is to become as popular
-
as possible, and I hope I just continue to
make lots and lots of money. Like I'm doing.
-
COMM: Despite the risks involved Tammy is
-
determined to make it big.
-
TAMMY: "Two thirty three?"
-
JOHAN: "Point five."
TAMMY: "Point five. I gained weight today.
-
Today was a good day."
JOHAN: "You gained five pounds."
-
TAMMY: "Yeah"
