Summary

At her heaviest, Ruby weighed more than 700 pounds. Her doctor warned that her diabetes was out of control and that she could die at any moment. Choosing to change her life to save it, Ruby made a genuine commitment to uncover all the underlying physical and psychological causes of her food addiction--an act of courage that has helped her lose nearly 400 pounds so far! To support her on this difficult path, Ruby has kept a journal of her experiences, including intimate reflections, surprising discoveries, and current fears, hopes, and dreams, many of which she shares here in this book
