\"Ruby<\/span>Just for a moment, I invite you to imagine what it must feel like to lose 366 pounds, to be able for the very first time buckle a normal seat belt, put on a pair of jeans and even a bathing suit. Step by step, Ruby Gettinger, with the help of the 12-step program, is courageously staring her food addiction down, down, down the scales of injustice
\nIn 2008, at 500 pounds, Ruby launched a show on The Style Network to chronicle her journey to lose weight, and essentially save her life. Now, in the show’s third season, Ruby is about to cross the 350-pound mark, as she journeys toward freedom.
\nAnd freedom is the actual prize, isn’t it?
\nFor the fully skinny on Ruby’s inspiring story of weight loss and food addiction recovery, check out Holly Lebowitz Rossi’s special piece, “Ruby’s Weight Loss and Recovery Journey – Facing Food Addiction: Healing Every Part of Me<\/a>”
