Official Thread - Ruby on the Style Network

Anyone else watch this show? I'm home sick with the kiddos, and I'm watching it right now. What do you think of the show? What do you think of Ruby?

I just can't get over how food-obsesed she is. Right now shes in a salon and has binoclars, and is scoping out a BBQ!!! I've lost almost 80lbs, I LOVE my food, but she just doesn't stop with it, KWIM? I really really hope she beats this, and loses all she can, and gets a healthy outlook on food. Shes such a wonderful person, she has to stop beating herself up with food.

Anyone else???

I have seen the show and I like her. She seems like such a nice and sincere person. And I find her pretty darn funny. Yes she is food obsessed and I feel for her. There are some out there who are just like that. They may not be her size, but the thoughts are there just the same. I know of people who think of food 24/7. Its not an easy way of life.

I enjoy the show. It always makes me laugh.

I AM that peson. I may not be as big as Ruby. Nowhere NEAR as big as Ruby. But, I am overweight for my height and I think about what I am going to eat the next day as I am going to sleep at night. I am a cook and I just LOVE food and cooking, and recipes. It's soooo hard for me not to think about food.

This is from Yahoo! Answers:

It's Johanna Stahley's "I Can" and you can hear it on her website: http://johannastahley.com/

It says on her page that it's a slightly different version used for Ruby.

(had to go back 13 pages to find this thread! I saw it last week during lunch at work and didn't get a chance to reply until today. lol)

Anyway... I'm a fan of this show! When I saw the commercials I didn't think it'd be a show that I'd look forward to watching each week, but it is! Ruby and her friends are funny, intelligent, and well-spoken. I think that Ruby is trying her best to be very honest about her weight and how she got there.

Regarding today's episode: I'm glad that her support team got together and became unified on their plan for Ruby. I could see that they had been giving her somewhat conflicting advice. While I don't think that eating packaged food exclusively is the way to go for most of us who diet, I think it's absolutely the way to go for someone of her size. I think she'd benefit from her meal plan (Hourglass??) for at least another hundred pounds. That still would leave a LOT of time for her to begin cooking for herself and learning control in that area. At her current weight, she's still in a fight for her life and since she's doing so well, why change that now.
