Ruby

Do you know who Ruby is? Ruby is a woman who weighed at her top 716 lbs. Why can't I get the picture to upload?! GRRR!!

Ok so she was diagnosed with diabetes and her doctor told her that if she didn't start losing weight, she would be dead in a couple years. So she started her journey through diet and exercise. Style TV has a program about her, its on Sunday nights at 9. I ran across this yesterday and watched it all day. Sometimes I guess they have reruns of it on all the time.

She has totally inpsired me. She is now down to 325 lbs. On her show she gives tips and what not about what is she doing, but I found a blog that she does on the style tv's website. Here is a link to one of them that I really liked.

It is really amazing to see her go from 716 lbs to 325 lbs. In the episode that was just on, she had a chair made to fit her..it was like a love seat that they put arms on. and she was really attached to that chair. But now, its huge for her and her normal sized friend was able to sit in it with her..so they got rid of it and she got a new chair, and she said that she didn't really realize that she would be able to fit in a "normal" size chair. She also put a lot of different mirrors around her house, to show her the truth about what she looked like. She said that she would look in the mirror and not see how really big she was. And that is what got her to the 716 lbs. She now can see everything, like when she sits at the kitchen table, there is a mirror that shows her rolls.
Anyway, just thought I would share this with you. I guess she has a book also that you can buy. Her name is Ruby Gettinger. You should google it.

Love y'all
