I don’t know about anyone else, but I am extremely inspired by the show “Ruby”.  It documents a 500lb woman’s journey to lose weight.

I could not imagine having to go through the journey on television while people are documenting the whole thing.  Ruby’s friends seem to be supportive but at the same time not-so-much as they complain about having to eat healthier around her.  Her ex-boyfriend shows up in one of the first episodes and puts her in an emotional tailspin.  He is also supportive at first but then gives her the same ultimatum … “lose weight or I won’t marry you.”

In my experience (as one who has experienced a lifetime of weight struggles), the ultimatum never works.  Or at least, it didn’t with me.

She lost a remarkable amount of weight.  She is now at 330 lbs. and continuing to lose!

This show is so inspirational.  It is on Bravo (for those of you wondering).

Have you watched the show?  If so, what are your thoughts?
