I believe I’m a better person being big because I don’t judge people, I don’t look at people on their shell, I look at the inner person,” she said. “I feel like this is my destiny because I want to help people.
If you are over 300lbs and not 6"11 you are fat and it's your own fault unless you were previously over 700lbs. In that case you get credit for your achievement thus far and are given praise (even thought you are still morbidly obese). That is Ruby Gettinger's story. I used to think it was dumb that this show had been on for two seasons and she is still big (I've only watched one episode). After seeing her Oprah (or Tyra, can't remember), I found out that she started out weighing more than 700lbs and has lost over 300lbs without medical intervention. Her show will probably be renewed and continue to tell her story, which could be one of the biggest diet success stories ever.
