After 30 years of battling food and her body, Julie doesn't want to hide and eat cookies in the pantry. She wants to feel like her healthy eating during the day extends through the evening hours too. Above all, she wants to just eat in peace. 

It's interesting how even if we hide to eat in total secrecy, we don't really have peace. Not when the voices in our minds tell us that we're pathetic, weak, being "bad," or that no one would love us if they only knew. 

In this episode we map out a plan for Julie to finally end the hiding and break out of the shame that has plagued her since her childhood. It's a juicy one! 

Book mentioned: "It wasn't your fault" by Beverly Engel.
