Gain Weight and Health Issues
While their mother was busy working various odd jobs to make ends meet, their grandmother looked after them.

As time passed, the sisters gained more and more weight, and their subsequent obesity led to many health issues, such as chronic diabetes and heart problems – Tammy couldn’t even walk without the help of a walker, and once tried to commit suicide.
YouTube Comedy Content Creators
The Slaton sister rose to prominence on YouTube.
In 2011, Amy launched a channel which was initially created to be a collaborative account of two sisters, called ‘Slaton Sisters’. They started to upload videos three years later – their first video, entitled “New slaton sister vlog”, was released in January 2014. Later that year, Amy and Tammy gained enormous popularity when their video entitled “Chubby bunny challenge” went viral. It encouraged them to continue to make more funny videos and challenges, and as time passed, they attracted more attention and an increasing fan base.
Since Amy primarily ran the channel, she eventually expanded content and started creating other kinds of videos, such as make-up tutorials and DIY. The most popular videos on the channel are “The power of makeup”, “Trying new makeup”, and “Bake with me”.
Tammy continued to feature in her sister’s videos, besides which she launched her own self-titled YouTube channel in March 2018, and two months later uploaded her first video “I’m baking a cake”. Some of the most viewed videos on her channel are “Day one of my diet”, “Talking about my weight”, and “Where have I been”, to name a few.
