THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: I want to speak to y'all about a very serious matter....

Hi My Friends,
I want to speak to y'all about a very serious matter....

Please make sure 2 click here:

Please tell everyone you know about this through Blogging, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter
and feel free 2 share this article because its truly my hearts passion! Please speak out and fight back with me. In this interview I said so much more, but they had to edit it for the news :O)
The Today show and Kristen thank you so much for caring and your passion!

Obesity is an addiction!!! I fight with this every single day of my life.
I wish it was as simple as dieting/eating healthy & exercising! IT IS NOT!

When OPRAH asked me the question
"WHAT ARE YOU REALLY HUNGRY FOR?"
THE INTERVIEW:
A LIGHT BULB WENT OFF IN MY HEAD LIKE NEVER BEFORE:

We have to find out what we are really feeding emotionally, mentally, spiritually through the food, drugs and alcohol etc...

What is your drug of choice?
For the morbidly obese and the anorexic its food!
For the drug addict it is drugs!
For the alcoholic it is alcohol!
For the smoker it is tobacco!
The addiction list goes on!

Now lets look at the similarities?
They all are feeding something into our bodies.
They all feel good at the moment and give temporary pleasure.
They all help us NOT to exist for a period of time.
They can all be genetic.
They take CONTROl over every part of us destroying present and future relationships, families, and cause financial problems, etc..
They destroy us and kill our spirits and then eventually kills us.
They usually begin from something traumatic happening to us in life.

The list goes on, but my point is that these are definitely the same and we are all fighting to beat our addiction.

The drug for the food addict is the easiest to access. Our drug of choice is always within our reach!

We are in the fight for our life! We will not crumble and die. We will continue to fight this and win daily! Please do not worry about tomorrow take this beast face to face one day at a time.

For the ones that read Marie Claire article or any articles like this....
when I was interviewed I was asked how I felt when I read it and I responded:

My heart was broken and I felt like someone had put a knife through my heart, because this completely goes against the message I am trying to send out that this is an addiction. I fight this every single days and some days every single second!!!

I tell everyone do not let your shell define who you are and to get out of your house and live your life. Words written or spoken like these cut like a knife and cause people 2 run and hide, makes people feel more of an outcast and like they are not accepted in a world they are supposed to be living in. So what happens is...they become shut ins and allow their beast to become bigger.

It has become an epidemic in the US and other countries and children now are suffering from this 2. Think about it, what is the first thing a child can get their hands on 2 medicate themselves with "FOOD"!

When you hear or read things like this it only gives fuel for bullies and people to be meaner/hateful to people who they feel do not fit into society. This only creates hate and haven't we seen enough repercussions from hate of religions, races, relationships, etc...

I am begging everyone who has a voice to stop tearing people down and giving others ammunition 2 destroy and hurt someone else's life.
Please, please use your voice for the good, love, understanding, forgiveness, etc...

We are a hurting world!
Clinics, broken homes, media, the suicide rates w/ adults & children,
the economy is bad, but look how much money we put out for our substance of choice etc...
THIS MY FRIEND SPEAKS VOLUMES!!

By changing one person's life you change a family, relationship, friends and before you know it a state eventually a country.
Love and actions of love can truly change someone's life and yours!!

We would soon be faced with a healing world!

(We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.

But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.) from: the WORD OF GOD!!!

“And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.

“Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.”

WE CAN LOSE WEIGHT, BEAT OUR ADDICTIONS, LIVE OUT OUR DREAMS/ PASSION!START TODAY THIS SECOND. IF YOU FEEL IT'S TOO HARD CLICK HERE:


What happen 2 me:
I went on vacation & went through a lot during our breaks. Even though I watched what I ate I ended up losing & gaining 21 pounds & hated myself 4 it! I am sorry ya'll! One thing I found out through all of this is I am really healing! Instead of me continuing 2 gain weight & beating myself up 2 much I got back on track! I am sorry 2 let ya'll down, but I need ya'll 2 know my truth. I am so back on track & Dr. Jane said, "Ruby this is part of recovery. We fall, we fail, but recovery is when U can get back on track!" YAY!!! Ya'll just because I shoot a show pls remember I am shooting my truth! I WILL NEVER LIE 2 ANY OF U! My truth is I am battling the biggest beast in my life. I got right back in the ring! I am ready 2 finish this once & for all! I am mad at this beast! HE will not win! We are filming right now & I can't give away 2 much. :O(I can tell U we have 2 take baby steps & start over even if we mess up! I learned when I vacation & go out 2 eat 2 always add 300 calories 2 every 1 of my meals. When U R on 1200 to 1500 a day calorie intake & vacationing that is tough. Think about it that is already 900 calories X out! Lordy! I did find out we must workout every time we vacation or we R home. If we work out we will not gain weight. Make sure UR moving daily for 45 mins 2 an hr. If we do we will maintain our weight or lose more. It can be something WE love, love, love 2 do. Dancing, riding a bike, walking, tennis, ping pone, etc... we must keep moving! We unfortunately never get a vacation this is our addiction & we must stay on top or it. Pls learn by my mistake. The great news is I am doing great again & it has made me mad enough 2 beat this. WE always have 2 be aware!! This is a daily fight 4 me& there R times I feel like I WILL NEVER BEAT THIS! Life is so hard, economy is tough. We R fighting 2 survive this thing call LIFE! One day we wake up not from sleep, but from a place so deep you can't describe where you've been, all you know you've awaken to find U R being controlled by a substance, person, ghost from UR past, etc.. & there R 2 things WE will end up doing, WE will either numb ourselves 2 avoid our situation or we will fight & overcome. One thing we all must remember, numbing & avoiding is 4 a moment & in that 1 moment we can crumble & die mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.
I read many of ur emails/ letters. There is severe pain in this world. Hurt so deep U can't breathe because U feel no one cares, loves, values or appreciates U. Many have lost someone fr natural death, freak accidents, unexpectedly. WE have lost a parent, sibling, husband, wife, child, pet, friend, UR soul mate, & the pain is so deep that it cuts us like a knife! The only thing WE want 2 do is not feel, because if WE let OURSELVES feel this pain 1 second WE may lose OUR mind. Some ofUS have lost OUR jobs, homes & do not know where OUR next meal will come from. Young people R fighting 2 be accepted,2 be loved, 4 someone to hear OUR secret cry 4 love. The strange thing is I find we all have something/ someone weR fighting. We all fight a beast the wealthy, the unwealthy, healthy, the unhealthy, child, teenager, adults, boy, girl, man, woman. The worse thing through all of this WE do not know who 2 trust, who will we open up 2 that will not abandon us, who can save us fr ourselves.
Lets remember the most important thing is to stop judging one another & hating each other because we look different, come from different backgrounds, etc...One thing God has taught me through His love is that we all are human beings, no one is better than this or that person. We all were born 4 a purpose & have a God given destiny. Every 1 of ya'll know what I am talking about. It is that place so deep in the heart that burns & burns, & when U find urself doing the very thing U were born2 do there is a peace that comes all over U & WE R the happiest WE'VE ever been. I am crawling right now, & there are times I want 2 never feel anything. I want 2 disassociate fr people & life. That is the old Ruby fightingw/ the new Ruby. I guess I am growing up!! But I will not STOP, I will not GIVE UP! I will move, because not moving means I am frozen by fear. I will not let fear stop me; not fear of the past, present or future. I will fight every single day & some days I will crawl like a baby, some days I will take baby steps, other days I will take giant leaps! Guess what, I will keep going because as long as I crawl, step, leap I will get to the finish line. 2 my God given destiny!
I am finding out childhood is the core of who we R. We must face it & deal w/ it. Once we do, it will no longer chain us in the past w/ hurt, fear, hate or guilt. All this does is keep us in bondage. It is time to see hope, love and peace! This will lead us to light, and the light will be the path to the other side: our freedom, our destiny!
I promise you: The biggest thing I have learned on my journey is that there are more great people out there than bad! I am flabbergasted by the humanity y'all have shown to me and to each other. YOU, MY FRIENDS, ARE THE MIRACLE IN ALL OF THIS!
I have read a lot of your messages on

1. DO NOT wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow will NEVER come—or it may come 10 years later. Start this very second. Start breaking your addiction right now, start your dream right now! If you mess up, start over again right then and your mistake will be erased. If you stay in your mistake, beat yourself up and continue, it will turn into repercussions that could last a lifetime. Write down everything you drink and eat in a notebook or journal.

2. I do have bad days when the addiction tries to take me over again, again and again. I tell myself that one moment of pleasure is not worth the aftereffects. That one moment of feeling good is a lie from the pit of helicopter. That one moment of pleasure will put me in bondage! The biggest thing WE must do is reach out for help...make a call, text, email someone, call an 800 number. I have a new therapist,Dr. Jane Weilenman, who is helping me cross over. You have to talk and find out why you want that food, drug, person, alcohol that is KILLING YOU, YOUR FAMILY and YOUR RELATIONSHIPS! MAKE THE CALL! The hardest part of this journey for me is reaching out and doing this, but because I am, it is saving me! YAY!

3. Go to the doctor and find out how your health is, go get blood work, X-rays, etc. Stop avoiding—please do this! If my mother hadn't bugged me to death to go to the doctor, I would be dead by now. I had no idea I had diabetes, a liver with fatty tissue, cholesterol issues...I was dying because of diabetes. It is the silent killer! Please go get and get a checkup. Make the appointment today. If you can't afford it, there are free clinics out there that will help you!

4. My diet was Ourlife Fresh in the beginning and sometimes I still eat a meal plan it is not processed foods; it was created around diabetes, and I promise you it changed my palate! It taught me that there was a variety of healthy food out there I had no idea about. It taught me portion sizes. I went cold turkey on this for three to six months, and I give you my word: It was harder than helicopter at first, but now I love and crave healthy food! I know money is an issue for a lot of US!TRUST ME I KNOW!!! If you do not do something about your health now it will cost you more in Doctor bills, medications, hospital, remember diabetes is the silent killer!
I need to tell everyone this is not a competition every program that is trying to help people lose weight should be about the good of the people with this addiction and I believe they are. You have to do what is best for YOU and affordable for YOU! No matter if you do
your own diet, etc... you will NEVER EVER beat this completely until you find out WHY YOU ARE EATING! Find out what you are feeding mentally, emotionally, spiritually!!! If it was all about what we were feeding physically we wouldn't be here. The first thing a child can get their hands on to medicate is food!!!So please go here: click here for someone to help you,
I believe doing something healthy for 3 to 6 months will break and change your addiction.

5. We have to exercise: Walk, ride a bike, work out with a trainer, work out with your friends, dance, box! Start out easy. You could try 15-20 minutes more than you do now, and work up to 4-5 times a day. (Definitely talk to your doctor before you start to work out!!!)Please email my trainers Drew and Shazi @ drewandshazia@trainme247.com
on their Web site; they are more than happy to give you a workout for your weight and condition. They will help you get started.


I KNOW I TELL Y'ALL THIS A LOT, BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT:
Smile and say hi to a stranger, open the door for someone, think of the special people in your life who give their all to you daily! Say hi to a homeless person and watch out for who is lonely. There are people everywhere who do not have a roof over their head, people who are truly starving to death. Invite them over or just have coffee with them. There are so many lonely people who have no one to hug them or to say I love you! There are many without jobs. There are many who do not have an air condition in this heat wave or heater on a cold night!There are many out there dying from a disease or an addiction, and sometimes all they need is a hello or someone to talk to for just five minutes. Give someone a dollar, a hug, a big smile; make someone laugh; just say hello and give a helping hand, or grab their hand a say a prayer for them. It will change their lives more than you will ever know. You will help them believe they are special, because they truly are! You will make them believe in themselves and humanity. Remember, some of these people can be sitting right under our noses. Open your eyes and be aware! One day this could be us. Miracles happen every single day: A child is healed from cancer, someone gets a new and better job, someone is beating disease and addiction. Miracles, miracles, miracles!

The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.-- Theodore Roosevelt


I would never want someone to judge and condemn me. Would you? We have no idea what another person is going through or what brought them to their today; we have never traveled down their road. People would look at me and call me a gluttoner. When the truth is, I am not. We are all unique human beings who grew up with parents, without parents, single parents, siblings, teachers, etc. Every one of these people put their mark on us. Good or bad! Now it's time to put ...Ruby's Blog on FAITH
Ya'll, please take your first step right now! Even if your first step is 100 times a day. Because guess what one day your first step will lead you to your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc... and you will finally cross over your bridge.
I PROMISE WE WILL ALL MEET AT THE FINISH LINE!

The show starts in 12 weeks/ In January the beginning of the New Year

My interview w/ Rosie :O)...http://rosieradio.blogspot.com/2010/10/10-6-10-show-all-about-askro-glee-and.html

The show starts in 12 weeks/ In January the beginning of the New Year YAY!! We will no longer take such a big gap :O( I am so sorry ya'll, but it was out of my hands! Thank you for all your LOVE/SUPPORT/PRAYERS from all over the world!! :O)))

Going to Central park :O)


The key 2 change… is 2 let go of fear!
Twenty years from now u will be more disappointed by the things u didn't do than by the ones u did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away fr the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in ursails. Explore. Dream.

YES! I AM SHOOTING 4TH SEASON RIGHT NOW AND IT WILL START
THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY ONLY 12 MORE WEEKS :O)
I AM IN NYC RIGHT NOW ABOUT 2 DO ROSIE'S RADIO SHOW :O)


I am getting a lot of emails from women telling me their struggles w/ their child that suffers from autism. They tell me how guilty they feel & that is why they eat, do not eat, drink, take drugs, etc... I need to say something to ya'll and pray 2 God you hear me IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!! IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!! IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!! A lot of you write me and tell me you think you have a child like this because of something you did years ago, or you had an abortion, etc... Why some children are borned w/ handicaps and others born perfect can be many, many, many reasons. It is not a punishment from God! If God was punishing He would punish us all! None of us are blameless! My brother is mentally challenged because of an accident at birth, my niece is mentally challenge because of an accident at birth and at 4 had to have her arm amputated. My best friend has a child with aspergers & mild autism. I have seen guilt and pain beyond words because of this. I understand everything ya'll are saying 2 me. Instead of focusing on the negative lets focus on these children. They are a rare jewel! They love you with a love like you will never know, they teach US, they see our souls, these children can look through us 2 who we really are and love and accept all of us. I believe this is why they relate to animals more then humans. They talk in a language we can't relate to because they talk through their souls and that is all they see when they look at us! Can we give them the same? Can we learn from them? YES!! I know we can! We have so much help out there and we are getting more information daily about these angels. None of these children are accidents! No one born is an accident! God watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven ... God knew you before you were born--even while you were in your mother's womb. ... Everyone of us was born for a purpose and have a God given destiny.

Stop beating yourselves up! We all feel beaten at times, but we are NOT!! We are stronger than we believe or what we've been told….stop listening to the ghost from childhood, from the people that only talk failure and negativity. You are not defined by your shell, you are not defined by what others have done to you or said to you! You are defined by YOU!! Somewhere deep buried inside…you know you are a great person and have a purpose. Dig yourself out of all the piles of dirt that has tried to bury you and kill you. Find that person you know you are, dig deep and find you! You are BEAUTIFUL, WORTH living YOUR GOD GIVEN DESTINY, and YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO FACE ANYTHING! YOU can beat the beast in your face and the unseen beast! Fight for YOU!!!

Fight for your child! Your child is a gift 2 you! You have the strength inside you to love and raise your child! LOVE IS ALL YOU WILL NEED TO SURVIVE AND YA'LLALREADY HAVE IT OR YOU WOULD NOT BE WRITING ME SEARCHING FOR HELP!!

YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT FOR HELP IT IS EVERYWHERE!

Take the first step and your life will change!

I love ya'll and I am praying for you at this moment!

In the reaching out you will save yourself!

http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/latest-on-autism


I know I say this a lot, but it is so important! I want us to think of others and show them love like we never have. Smile and say hi to a stranger, open the door for someone, think of the special people in your life who give their all to you daily! Say hi to a homeless person lend them a helping hand and watch out for who is lonely. There are people everywhere who do not have a roof over their head, people who are truly starving to death. Invite them over or just have coffee with them. Be patient when you see a child, teenager, etc... crying a lot or causing some kind of disturbance it could be a special child and the last thing a parent needs is more stress from a rude comment or look. There are so many lonely people who have no one to hug them or to say I love you! There are many without jobs. There are many out there dying from a disease or an addiction, and sometimes all they need is a hello or someone to talk to for just five minutes. Give someone a dollar, a hug, a big smile, make someone laugh, just say hello and give a helping hand, or grab their hand a say a prayer for them. It will change their lives more than you will ever know.You will help them believe they are special, because they truly are! You will make them believe in themselves and humanity. Remember, some of these people can be sitting right under our noses.Open your eyes and be aware! One day this could be us.Miracles happen every single day: A child is healed from cancer, someone gets a new and better job, someone is beating disease and addiction.Miracles, miracles, miracles!


“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye 2 see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
We can beat our beast! We can live our dream and have our God given destiny!
BELIEVE!!!

"Come to the edge, He said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, He said. They came. He pushed them, And they flew . . ."

Hi ya'll,

I am sorry I haven't written in awhile, but I am filming my journey!
So many things are happening & I can't wait to share them w/ ya'll! I'v enclosed answers to a lot of your questions so pls read! I am shooting in LA right now & got my hair done by Ken Paves he is
MY sweet man, MIRACLE WORKER FOR HAIR!! KEN PAVES & Martin & his mom & his incredible team R AMAZING!!!!
I am downloading pictures 2 post 4 ya'll!

Thank U 4 UR SUPPORT/LOVE/PRAYERS pls keep fighting this fight with me! We can beat anything if we stay in the boxing ring! Go after your dreams! Do not let anything stop U from living UR GOD given destiny!



I went on vacation and went through a lot between our breaks and even though I watched what I ate I ended up losing & gaining 21 pounds and hated myself for it! I am sorry ya'll! One thing I found out through all of this is I am really healing! Instead of me continuing 2 gain weight & beating myself up 2 much I got back on track! I am sorry 2 let ya'll down, but I need ya'll 2 know my truth. I am so back on track and Dr. Jane said, "Ruby this is part of recovery. We fall, we fail, but recovery is when you can get back on track!" YAY!!!

Ya'll just because I shoot a show please remember I am shooting my truth! I WILL NEVER LIE 2 ANY OF YOU! My truth is I am battling the biggest beast in my life. I got right back in the ring and I am ready 2 finish this once and for all! I am mad at this beast and HE will not win!!!

We are filming right now and I can't give away 2 much.

We have to take baby steps and start over even if we mess up! My nutrients told me that when I vacation and go out 2 eat 2 always add 300 calories to everyone of my meals. When you are on 1200 to 1500 a day calorie intake and vacationing that is tough. Think about it that is already 900 calories X out! Lordy!

I did find out we must workout every time we vacation or we are home. If we work out we will not gain weight. Make sure we all are moving daily for 45 mins 2 an hr. If we do we will maintain our weight or lose more. It can be something you love, love, love 2 do. Dancing, riding a bike, walking, tennis, ping pone, etc... we must keep moving! We unfortunately never get a vacation this is our addiction and we must stay on top or it. Please learn by my mistake.

The great news is I am doing great again and it has made me mad enough 2 beat this. WE always have to be aware!! This is a daily fight for me and there are times I feel like I WILL NEVER BEAT THIS! Life is so hard, economy is tough. We are fighting to survive this thing call LIFE! One day we wake up not from sleep, but from a place so deep you can't describe where you've been, all you know you've awaken to find you are being controlled by a substance, person, ghost from your past, etc.. and there are two things you will end up doing, you will either numb yourself to avoid your situation or you will fight and overcome. One thing we all must remember, numbing and avoiding is for a moment and in that one moment we can crumble and die mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

I read many of your emails and letters. There is severe pain in this world. Hurt so deep you can't breathe because you feel no one cares, loves, values or appreciates you. Many have lost someone from natural death, freak accidents, unexpectedly. You have lost a parent, sibling, husband, wife, child, pet, friend, your soul mate, and that pain is so deep and it cuts us like a knife and the only thing you want to do is not feel, because if you let yourself feel this pain one second you may lose your mind. Some of you have lost your jobs, homes and do not know where your next meal will come from. Young people are fighting to be accepted, to be loved, for someone to hear your secret cry for love. The strange thing is I find we all have something or someone we are fighting. We all fight a beast the wealthy, the unwealthy, healthy, the unhealthy, child, teenager, adults, boy, girl, man, woman. The worse thing through all of this you do not know who to trust at all, who will we open up to that will not abandon us, who can save us from ourselves. Lets remember the most important thing is to stop judging one another and hating each other because we look different, come from different backgrounds, etc...

One thing God has taught me through His love is that we all are human beings, no one is better than this or that person. We all were born for a purpose and have a God given destiny. Everyone of ya'll know what I am talking about. It is that place so deep in the heart that burns and burns, and when you find yourself doing the very thing you were born to do there is a peace that comes all over you and you are the happiest you've ever been. I am crawling right now, and there are times I want to never feel anything. I want todisassociate from people and life.

That is the old Ruby fighting with the new Ruby. I guess you can say I am growing up!! But I will not STOP, I will not GIVE UP! I will move, because not moving means I am frozen by fear. I will not let fear stop me; not fear of the past, present or future. I will fight every single day and some days I will crawl like a baby, some days I will take baby steps and other days I will take giant leaps! Guess what, I will keep going because as long as I crawl, step, leap I will get to the finish line and to my God given destiny! I am finding out childhood is the core of who we are, and we must face it and deal with it. Once we do, it will no longer chain us in the past with hurt, fear, hate or guilt. All this does is keep us in bondage. It is time to see hope, love and peace! This will lead us to light, and the light will be the path to the other side: our freedom, our destiny!

I promise you: The biggest thing I have learned on my journey is that there are more great people out there than bad! I am flabbergasted by the humanity y'all have shown to me and to each other. YOU, MY FRIENDS, ARE THE MIRACLE IN ALL OF THIS! I have read a lot of your messages on
Mystyle.com,
Facebook,
Twitter
and
MySpace, and I see a lot of the same questions. We are going through the same journey. YAY! I am going to try and answer as many of your questions as I can:

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Yes we are filming for 4th season. It starts Nov 28th
WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE SHOW IN YOUR AREA:
Click here and put in your zip code Find 'Ruby' in your area

IF YOU DO NOT GET THE SHOW IN YOUR AREA OR THEY HAVE TAKEN IT OFF THE CHANNEL IT USE TO BE ON:
I am working hard to get it back on a channel to make it available for everyone..Please be patient with me and say a prayer that the people that need to do this will make it happen. :O)
You can get 1st, 2nd & 3rd season here:

1. DO NOT wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow will NEVER come—or it may come 10 years later.
Start this very second.
Start breaking your addiction right now,
start your dream right now!
If you mess up, start over again right then and your mistake will be erased. If you stay in your mistake, beat yourself up and continue, it will turn into repercussions that could last a lifetime.
Write down everything you drink and eat in a notebook or journal. I do have bad days, when the addiction tries to take me over again, again and again. I tell myself that one moment of pleasure is not worth the after effects. That one moment of feeling good is a lie from the pit of helicopter. That one moment of pleasure will put me in bondage! The biggest thing WE must do is reach out for help...make a call, text, email someone, call an 800 number. I have a new therapist, Dr. Jane Weilenman, who is helping me cross over. You have to talk and find out why you want that food, drug, person, alcohol that is KILLING YOU, YOUR FAMILY and YOUR RELATIONSHIPS! MAKE THE CALL!
The hardest part of this journey for me is reaching out and doing this, but because I am, it is saving me! YAY!

2. Go to the doctor and find out how your health is. Go get blood work, X-rays, etc. Stop avoiding—please do this! If my mother hadn't bugged me to death to go to the doctor, I would be dead by now. I had no idea I had diabetes, a liver with fatty tissue, cholesterol issues...I was dying because of diabetes. It is the silent killer! Please go get and get a checkup. Make the appointment today. If you can't afford it, there are free clinics out there that will help you!

3. My diet was Ourlife Fresh and sometimes I still eat the dinners because I do not have time to cook. It is not processed foods; it was created around diabetes, and I promise you it changed my palate! It taught me that there was a variety of healthy food out there I had no idea about. It taught me portion sizes. I went cold turkey on this for three to six months, and I give you my word: It was harder than helicopter at first, but now I love and crave the food! Please click here just to listen.I know money is an issue for a lot of you! TRUST ME I KNOW!!! If you do not do something about your health now it will cost you more in Doctor bills, medications, hospital, remember diabetes is the silent killer!
This is what I've been doing lately: Ruby's Tips on eating I need to tell everyone this is not a competition every program that is trying to help people lose weight should be about the good of the people with this addiction and I believe they are. You have to do what is best for YOU and affordable for YOU! No matter if you do OurLife, A 90 day Challenge to help you get started, Wt Watchers, your own diet, etc... you will NEVER EVER beat this completely until you find out WHY YOU ARE EATING!
Find out what you are feeding mentally, emotionally, spiritually!!!
If it was all about what we were feeding physically we wouldn't be here.
The first thing a child can get their hands on to medicate is food!!!
So please go here:
click here for someone to help you, Tennie McCarty, Paula White.
I believe doing something healthy for 3 to 6 months will break and change your addiction.


4. We have to exercise: Walk, ride a bike, work out with a trainer, work out with your friends, dance, box! Start out easy. You could try 15-20 minutes more than you do now, and work up to 4-5 times a day. (Definitely talk to your doctor before you start to work out—see how important that checkup is?!) Please email my trainers Drew and Shazi @
drewandshazia@trainme247.com
on their Web site; they are more than happy to give you a workout for your weight and condition. They will help you get started.6. Please click here and read this page.

5. Yes! You can still order my book right here.

I KNOW I TELL Y'ALL THIS A LOT, BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT: Smile and say hi to a stranger, open the door for someone, think of the special people in your life who give their all to you daily! Say hi to a homeless person and watch out for who is lonely. There are people everywhere who do not have a roof over their head, people who are truly starving to death. Invite them over or just have coffee with them. There are so many lonely people who have no one to hug them or to say I love you! There are many without jobs. There are many who do not have an air condition in this heat wave or heater on a cold night!There are many out there dying from a disease or an addiction, and sometimes all they need is a hello or someone to talk to for just five minutes. Give someone a dollar, a hug, a big smile; make someone laugh; just say hello and give a helping hand, or grab their hand a say a prayer for them. It will change their lives more than you will ever know. You will help them believe they are special, because they truly are! You will make them believe in themselves and humanity. Remember, some of these people can be sitting right under our noses. Open your eyes and be aware! One day this could be us. Miracles happen every single day: A child is healed from cancer, someone gets a new and better job, someone is beating disease and addiction. Miracles, miracles, miracles!
The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
