Shame is at the root of a lot of habits, and often shows up alongside one's struggle with food. Our stories—the ones we believe to be true—dictate how we think about and experience the world. Shame drives a secrecy that can make you feel alone, leaving you to avoid talking openly about what you're going through.
What underlies shame is fear. Showing love and compassion for yourself is the antidote to shame. You may have uncomfortable feelings come up, but trust that they will pass. The world doesn't need a different version of you. It needs the version you already are.
