Ruby

There is a reality show on one of the cable networks about an obese lady, named Ruby, and her journey to a healthier life.  I have seen bit and pieces of this show. I have never watched an entire episode or even half of one.  It is one of those shows you pause over while channel surfing so I am aware of it and know who Ruby is.

Today Ruby was on Oprah for the second time.  I learned things about Ruby that I totally didn't know.  First of all I had NO clue she started this journey at 716#.  That is a weight that is beyond my ability to comprehend. The times I saw her show she had probably already lost 150 to 200#.   Ruby walked onto Oprah's stage today wearing jeans and looking really good.  She is under 350# which is, admittedly, still obese, but such a stunning change it is hard to feel that way.  She also has quite a gorgeous face.  Anyway, her journey, is going  in directions that I am sure she had no clue about before.  This actually is quite a fascinating story.  I'm not going to watch the show but will look her up online occasionally.

I love people that are working on this journey and give us all insight about it.  I know every one's journey is unique to them but knowing that other people are having just as complicated a journey as someone else is encouraging, I think.  I am encouraged by Ruby's journey, not just for her, but for myself as well.

I can, I will!!
