“Seriously? Like, I don’t get it. I am proud of myself. I continue to post and show off my hard work,” Tammy — who has been sharingher weight-loss journeysince undergoing bariatric surgery in 2022 — said.
“So what? I use a filter.”
She went on to explain why she uses a filter to edit her social media posts. “I don’t like the colorization in my cheeks. All the spots from the sun and the freckles,” Tammy said, pointing to her cheeks.
In her nextReel, though, Tammy showed that she’s taking a page fromTaylor Swift’s book when it comes to the haters: She’s just going to Shake It Off.
The reality star shared a video of herself singing along to Swift’s 2014 hit.
And Tammy loudly sang one particular lyric from “Shake It Off”— “Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate” before laughing.
Commenters enjoyed the lighthearted video, with one writing, “I am glad to see Tammy genuinly [SIC] happy. Keep going!”
