So today Ruby is going to be on the Oprah Winfrey show. I don't have a DVR , however since I'm home studying for an exam I will watch the show and will comment on her interview.
Who is Ruby? Ruby has a reality t.v. show on the Oxygen network. The series chronicles her life during her weigh loss initiative. Ruby is a woman that when the show began weighed like 500+ lbs. We see her various struggles with attempting to lose the weight, the prejudices from other that are placed upon her, we listen to her talk about her relationship with food. One episode was on clothing and styling issues. Another episode was about her flying to California and how she had to pay for two airline seats because the seating on the aircraft were too narrow. She's extremely open and honest with her experiences on the show. Needless to say, I'm very excited to see her on the Oprah show.

The purpose of this blog is to talk about the media representation of the fat community and to dispel thoughts of negativity towards the fat community. I welcome open dialogue about your perceptions and stereotypes towards those within the fat community. I don't feel that there is not enough positive images in media. We are bombarded with messages of happiness, success, and beauty however these messages exclude those in the fat community.
