Summary
Are there people you want to tell about your binge eating but haven't? You want to be open with them, you want them to support you, and you don't want to hide this secret anymore.
In this episode, I'm exploring two reasons why you haven't told them and how you can work through those reasons. You have some fears and some thoughts. Let's look at what they are so you can be more willing to share this part of yourself with someone you want to share it with.

| 0:30.4 | Hi. If you listened to last week's episode, you heard me share some of my journal entries from 2007. And throughout this entire |

| 0:49.1 | like for me and I feel comfortable sharing what I did. But I wasn't always that way. When I was deep in it, |
| 0:57.4 | it was a secret. I told only four of my friends at different times, and that was it. And I don't |
