"Ruby" on Style Channel & on E! Entertainment

Tonight, the show Ruby premiered on both Style and E! Entertainment.  Wow, she's 474 pounds and it's all about her struggles to lose weight.

He doctor told her she's a metabolic ticking time bomb and she had to get her health in order or she's going to die.

I can so totally relate to everything that will be going through.  From the manipulating loved ones to get me crap to eat when they were out or bringing me a candy bar and making excuses to not exercise because of the pain and the embarrassment of being so way out of shape.

It's really eyeopening to see her and her struggles and how I was just like her.  I know that I can say "I was" just like her.

Even down to not being able to sit in a certain kind of chair!  I would recommed watching this show to appreciate where we came from and where we are all going.

Thanks for reminding me that is is on tonight.  I am recording it at 8; i also went ahead and set the dvr to record the whole series.  I am still just  like her , but my surgery is getting closer and closer everyday.  December 3rd preop appointment.

I wish I could catch it.  We don't have cable. 

I sure can relate to the manipulation to get the food.  My husband is an enabler and it became quite easy.  All the times I used his love of ice cream to have him go get me a chocolate frozen custard with hot fudge and brownie pieces.  Yeah - the thought of that much sugar and chocolate is enough to gag me now. 

Have a great Monday...

I loved this show. I could relate to everything (EVERYTHING!) she said. She reminded me of myself so much. I was only about 25lbs smaller than her when I first started this journey so every little thing she said hit home.

I could not get over how much she reminded me of myself. It was scary. Even the way she looked and dressed.

I watched the show with a mix of sadness (because I know exactly what she's going through), happiness (because I made a choice to make my life better) and worry (because I'm so, very scared I will end up back like that some day when the surgery doesn't work anymore).

It definitely was an eye-opener and made me realize where I was, how far I've come, but yet, how far I still have to go.

I too watched this show and loved it.  She seems like such a nice, sweet person and I will be rooting for her.   As you said, so many of us can relate to her!
