Secrecy Keeps Us Stuck

Here’s a truth that changed my life:

Compulsive eating thrives in secrecy — and so does shame.

For years, I ate in secret. One bite in public, the rest in private. Always hiding how much I really ate… and how out of control I felt. It wasn’t just about the food — it was about the shame that kept me stuck.

Step 5 in the 12-step process gave me a new way forward:

👉 Speak the truth — out loud — to someone safe.

It sounds simple. But it’s one of the most powerful things you can do.

Because sin loses its grip when it’s brought into the light.

And shame? It shrivels when met with grace.

💬 “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” – James 5:16

If you’re caught in a cycle of secrecy or emotional eating, I want to encourage you:

There is healing on the other side of honesty.

You don’t have to carry it alone. You don’t have to stay stuck.
