Season 3
Ruby returns for a third season with a new spirit and determination to lose weight. Thanks to her continued diet and exercise, she is able to wear jeans for the first time, albeit with some comedic difficulty.
Ruby's new therapist, Dr. Jane, not only helps her analyze her disturbing nightmares, but suggests that Ruby look into a 12-Step program for her eating disorder.
Ruby struggles to admit that she does, in fact, have a food addiction. At Women's Fat Night, a 12 Step expert named Tennie McCarty forces Ruby to come face to face with her own denial.
