Ruby, confident with every pound of herself, stood naked in the kitchen while Georgia sprayed her. Seemingly happy with her overall looks, but in utter despair over the weight that she gained back, Ruby said &#8220;We gotta finish this. <em>I<\/em> gotta finish this, once and for all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She decided, for the first time in 12 weeks, to host a Women&#8217;s Fat Night. Ruby&#8217;s friend, Julie, commented on the struggles of <strong><a title=\"Spring Break on a Diet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/03\/surviving-spring-break-on-a-diet\/\" target=\"_self\">dieting while on vacation<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0Ruby spoke out about her own traveling troubles. While on the road,\u00a0she slid back into\u00a0her old habits. The girls reminded her to take one day at a time, one meal at a time, even one minute at a time. She claimed that the girls couldn&#8217;t possibly know what they were talking about because none of them had ever been as big as her.\u00a0Women&#8217;s Fat Night\u00a0ended with these words from Ruby, &#8220;The truth is, even if I lose all the weight in the world, I think I&#8217;m gonna be alone the rest of my life&#8230; I&#8217;m never gonna be perfect to any guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ruby&#8217;s ex-boyfriend Denny seems to be a big source of her\u00a0insecurities.\u00a0Despite the obvious dysfunctional of their wishy-washy relationship, she attempted to call him. When he\u00a0didn&#8217;t answer, Ruby&#8217;s\u00a0accused him of sleeping with another woman, regardless of the fact that they are no longer in a relationship. The true toxicity of\u00a0the relationship was apparent at that moment. As Jeff put it, &#8220;the fatal attraction part needs to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Things got emotional with\u00a0Ruby&#8217;s therapist. Dr. Jane explained the significance of\u00a0Denny&#8217;s role\u00a0on her <strong><a title=\"Yoga for Mental Health\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/yoga-for-mental-health\/\" target=\"_self\">mental health<\/a><\/strong>. Ruby admitted to creating fantasies in her mind. She forced herself to believe that her relationship with Denny\u00a0was healthy. Ultimately, this is a coping skill to avoid facing her true demons. Dr. Jane suggested bringing him in for a session.<\/p>\n<p>When Denny came to visit, the fighting started\u00a0almost immediately. At one point, Ruby and Denny went\u00a0to Train Me 24\/7 for a training session with Drew and Shazi. When Ruby began the sexy dance workout, it was clear that she was in her element. Of course, she couldn&#8217;t focus because Denny\u00a0kept checking out the trainers.<\/p>\n<p>The drama continued later in the show at Dr. Jane&#8217;s. Denny openly admitted to cheating on Ruby during their relationship, which ended nine years ago. He seemed to express no regret over his decision to do so. Denny was unhappy with Ruby&#8217;s complacency with her weight and Ruby had developed trust issues due to his cheating. Ruby finally acknowledged her need to get over Denny. She said, &#8220;Before it was about me losing weight for him&#8230; now, my focus <em>now<\/em> is beating this disease that I have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She began her Denny-cleanse by getting on the scale. Ruby gained 30 pounds, putting her at 333 pounds. She realized that she may as well die if she keeps gaining back all of her weight loss.\u00a0The episode ended with Ruby&#8217;s feeling of weakness and a longing for strength.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Ruby Getting Help\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/ruby-getting-help\/\" target=\"_self\">Ruby Getting Help<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Ruby and Fad Dieting\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/ruby-and-fad-dieting\/\" target=\"_self\">Ruby and Fad Dieting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new season of Ruby began with a spray tanning session.
