Oh my gracious, ya’ll — I just had to share this with you.
This is Ruby.
She has her own show in the Style network and after weighing 700 lbs for most of her adult life has just lost 100 lbs. She speaks with a thick southern drawl and cannot remember her childhood. Her show is amazing. She goes camping! She goes to the beach! I am definitely not making fun of Ruby. Her plight is real and all, but she herself is just hysterically funny. Just trust me and give ol’ Ruby a whirl. Thanks to the Style network, you can view clips from her shows here:
In other news: We got 5 ” of snow here (read: SOUTHERN FUCKING DISASTER!!!) and so school was closed, natch. Also, it’s Spring Break next week* and I’m going to be working on the new house, so posts may be sporadic for a week or so. I’ll keep you informed via pictures about all the things I’m bound to wreck/break/set on fire in the new house as we engage in renovations.
* Spring Break has seemingly made my devil children insane enough to think that good vacay deals in Mexico thus make Mexico a desirable place to go to right now. Since I will be jobless if all my students are sucked into a drug-cartel fuelled vortex of white slavery, let’s all root for them to come home safely (if with debilitating cases of Montezuma’s Revenge…)
OMG! I LOVE RUBY!!! The first time I watched it,I was hooked! I so find myself rooting for her to get where she wants to be!
I have never seen her or heard of her before now. I have watched a cuple of the clips.. she has got a great sense of humor.
Sorry I went through your drawers.. I couldn’t help myself
I would watch Ruby, but I got rid of my big screen TV. Just sayin’.
Love Ruby. Her show is much more entertaining than other reality shows.
@ All: She’s fab, isn’t she? I cannot listen to her voice without smiling.
when is the show coming back on
I would just like to say Ruby is such a strong person. To anyone who is trying to lose knows that it takes a lot of hard work. She just helps people know that it is worth the time, and that fit feels better then that cookie or cake tastes.
@ Hannah: “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels” — is what they used to say at Weight Watchers. Isn’t she a doll? I don’t know how she can be so sweet-natured when she’s been through so much. And she doesn’t even know anything about her own life from the time she was a child! Unbelievable.
