Feed Your Faith and Your Fears Will Starve to Death
by RUBY GETTINGER
My show is now premiering in AUSTRALIA on Tuesdays @ 8:20p! Georgia and I were there for the launch. I fell in love with Australia; the people were so nice! It was beautiful. I loved all of it. I met many amazing people—went on a pirate ship and learned to sail and be a pirate, hung out with the koalas and kangaroos (there is a story there), went to Bondi Beach and walked the cliffs...I was definitely an outdoorsy girl and made lifelong friends!Click here and here to see pics from the trip! :0)
The BEST thing about Australia? I accomplished the biggest feat of my life, and you all will get to watch that miracle that happen to me. I am so hacky to tell ya'll that you will be going to Australia with me, because we filmed the entire trip. YAY!
I am in L.A. until November 26 shooting an episode for the third season, and during the holidays I will be writing you all back.
You can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try.
Please keep fighting with me and trust me when I tell you it is worth trying to beat your addiction and reach for your dreams! Yes, we are worth it! Yes, we have what it takes to cross over! Yes, we can do it!
Y'all are inspiring me! I am so proud of every one of you for fighting with me and making changes. YOU, my friends, are AMAZING to me. Many of us are fighting some kind of BEAST, and for the first time in our lives we are WINNING!
Here are answers to some of your questions:
YES! The first and second seasons of Ruby are still airing on Style. For showtimes, click here and then click on the Show Information tab.
YES! You can download seasons one and two on iTunes! Click here! Or you can buy the DVD from season one here.
YES! Y'all have heard correctly: I am filming for season three right now, and all the episodes will be one hour long! YAY! I so hacky y'all are hacky wacky! LOL! Season three is scheduled to start February 14.
Now watch this:
I am fighting harder than ever right now. I am going to the root of the problem—which means I am having to battle with myself. Fighting yourself is the hardest thing you will ever do. Anyone out there who is suffering from an addiction knows what I am talking about. There is a saying about how recovering drug addicts and alcoholics never have to take the tiger out of the cage. For the food addict, we have to take our tiger out of the cage and hold him by the tail three times a day (if we eat three meals a day). And this is what can make our problem with food more complicated than problems with alcohol or drugs. We have to deal with our "drug" every day. It is harder than helicopter, but not impossible! WE will make our IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!
I am traveling down memory lane trying to find my memories. I will do whatever it takes to find them, and you will see what I mean by that soon. Please be patient with me, because I am filming my life and opening doors I have never dared to open. I want to make sure y'all get the truth, because I believe the truth will set us all free!
I am doing book signings and speaking at different places. Yes, I have received many of YOUR emails and I would love to come speak at your church, youth group, Bible study, women's conference. Please email Mary Sloan or call her at 864-525-9424 for those requests. For all other requests, please call (310-550-4214) or email Iris Grossman.
I am getting a lot of emails asking how I lost a lot of my weight. Please click here and watch my video message to y'all and I will tell you. Going cold turkey for six months on Ourlife Fresh, I learned variations of healthy food and portion size.
I love Vemma! I started taking vitamins. Thank God for Vemma, because now I am able to get all the nutrients my body needs. I will not talk about it unless I believe in it. My truth is the most important part of this journey! And everything I tell you will be the truth. I never realized most of our cravings come from our bodies craving nutrients that we do not get. Please email J Morrison to hear more about how our bodies are not actually craving food but nutrients. Your palate will be changed by Ourlife and your eyes will be opened by Vemma!
MY TRAINERS ARE INCREDIBLE! Drew and Shazi will give you your first workout with them for free! If you live in Savannah, y'all need to try them out—they are amazing! If y'all are just visiting you need to try them out. They are making me enjoy exercise! Y'all have to dance with Shazi! It is so much fun! I also love boxing with the two of them. Go to their Web site if you want to schedule a session or ask them questions about fitness. I highly recommend it. Seriously, go ask them anything about fitness!
"The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where the stand in times of challenge and controversy."—Martin Luther King Jr.
Please be patient with me during this part of my journey and keep me in your prayers and thoughts!!
Hopefully I will be in YOUR town soon! (If you want to see me, call Barnes & Noble or visit HarperCollins.com, and please email Brianne at Harper Collins.) There will be filming at my book signings. If you would like to share your stories, feel free to do so! We are all on this journey together!
Ruby's Diary is my heart! I tell my whole story, from how this all began to where I am now. I talk about a recurring nightmare I had as a child. I had one memory during the death of my daddy. My diary is my soul. I talk about weight, life, death, God, friends, relationships, purpose, destiny...I pray it will help you find the strength it gave me to keep fighting on and NEVER GIVE UP!
