\"\"<\/a>Ruby starts the episode with a weigh-in, which reveals 347 pounds. Ruby\u2019s weight gain is an eye opener for both Ruby and her friends.
\nRuby, Jeff and Georgia discuss her state of denial and lack of determination. It\u2019s difficult for Ruby to hear and it seems just as difficult for Jeff and Georgia to say. For the first time, Jeff tells Ruby that she is truly sick and needs to hold herself more accountable for her actions. The truth hurts but Ruby said, \u201cWhen Jeff told me I was sick, it killed me but it helped me\u2026 I\u2019m really out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruby holds the first Women\u2019s Fat Night in Los Angeles<\/a><\/strong>. The women discuss the audacity of men who believe it\u2019s okay to ridicule and mock large women. One group participant tells of a man who approached her: \u201cThis guy came up to us and just felt the need to express to us that we were fat girls. (He said) if he was as big as us, he would put a bullet in his mouth.\u201d The girls all come to the realization that most of them have one thing in common: childhood abuse. Georgia said, \u201cIt was the most productive Women\u2019s Fat Night we have ever had. Ever.\u201d
\n
\nRuby meets with PJ, her Los Angeles personal trainer<\/a><\/strong>. He\u2019s determined to switch up her workout to get her back on track. He introduces an obstacle course but Ruby doesn\u2019t respond well to it. PJ was exasperated as he said, \u201cI have to say it, she did nothing.\u201d Emotions run high as Ruby is confronted by the creator of the obstacle course, Adam, who says that he is disappointed in her lack of effort. Ruby said, \u201cI know one thing, that when somebody yells at me, I cringe. Everything in me shuts down and I cannot do anything.\u201d Adam\u2019s love may have been a little too tough.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the show, Ruby admits that losing weight does not always take top priority. She also questions whether or not she may be subconsciously afraid to lose more weight. She tells her friends, \u201cIf ya\u2019ll see me acting sick again, you gotta say it\u2026 Ya\u2019ll have my permission to call me out on any of this. I am begging ya\u2018ll.\u201d<\/p>\n
