Last month, Slaton posted another TikTok video responding to one follower who asked how her quality of life has changed since losing over 440 lbs. She admitted that she’s in a much better mood and able to appreciate life more, which has impacted not only how she treats herself but other people.
“I have personally seen a lot of growth in how I treat people and my family. Just my attitude and how happier I seem. I smile a lot more,” she said.
The reality star then proudly shared all the non-scale victories she’s experienced.
“I just came back from Disney World and I actually got on rides! And I rode in a hot air balloon. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this two years ago,” she said with a smile. “I guess you can say I’m bragging a bit about myself but I’m not trying to. I’m just giving myself a pat on the back for achieving something. Getting the weight off and living….I can finally say I’m living life.”
“I value life now where before I hated it. I hated everything about life. And now, I'm just going with it. Life throws me a curve ball and I just do my best to jump over the hurdle…well, let’s face it. I’m not jumping nowhere,” she joked, bursting into laughter.

In December, Slaton spoke to PEOPLE about the accomplishments — and several others — after losing 440 lbs., down from her highest weight of 725 lbs. She had bariatric surgery in July 2022 and is now down to 285 lbs.
“One of the big changes that I have gone through this past year is probably small to most people,” she said at the time. “But for me it was huge.”
“Just being able to walk without a walker or be pushed in a wheelchair, and no oxygen. I don't even sleep with it at night anymore,” Slaton boasted. “Then it was being able to fit in a regular vehicle, front seat, and then the belt buckle, and not have to use an extender now. So I mean, just what seems minor to some people is giant for me.”
