I have always have lots of secrets around food. And shame, even still to this day, though nothing like it used to be. This is a very good post, I’m going to have to think about my secrets for a few days.

I’d like to be on your blogroll, likely in still fighting the fight. I am close to maintenance, and am starting to think that way, but want 10 more pounds still.

When I first started reading I thought hmmm I don’t have any secrets. WRONG-O! There are times that I secretly eat things that I really should not be eating and you know what it is ridiculous. I can only imaginre the look on my face when my husband finds the wrappers and asks me what the heck this is?!
Nothing is worse that having that feeling hanging over your head.
If you think about it the only person a secret can harm is those who are keeping them letting them stew away and constantly trying to hide them.
So not worth it!

I don’t think I realized how many food secrets I kept until I began this last weight loss journey. I find myself relating more and more to your past, Diane, and being so glad to know someone else kept treats away for themselves like I did. When that specific thought hit me I realized that it was a secret that had been hindering me from staying at a healthier weight.

This is something I’ll have to think on more. Thanks for the post. I’m so crazy busy this week that I barely got to reading it just now..late for me.

“blogrolls” is that like low fat egg rolls? I like lots of them! The more egg rolls the better. (so I guess that makes me more in the working on it group huh?)

I don’t think I tend to keep a lot of secrets… but then again if I did would I really tell you? hmmmm.

Great blog, Diane!
Secrets -more importantly what people would think of me if they knew my secrets- is a big deterrent to growth in all areas of my life. Thank you for challenging me to think about these areas. You have a gift. Thanks for sharing it!

My weight issue has always been a secret for me. I didn’t like to talk about it, and I still don’t. Most of my close friends don’t even know that I have a blog and talk about my food/weight issues and I’d probably be embarrased if they came across it. I guess it’s just easier being a little more “annonymous” via the web. Maybe it’s cowardly. I don’t know.
I was never one of those people to “announce” that I was trying to lose weight or on a diet. I guess, b/c I didn’t want people to know or to be asking how it was going when I was eating poorly. The subject has always been very touchy for me. I never wanted people to see me overeat, so it was always done with no one else around.

I’d love to be on your blog roll under fighting the fight. Thanks!

As far as the post goes, secrets are so huge. I am so guilty of secret eating. I did so well that no one could understand why I was overweight. I wouldn’t eat anything bad in front of anyone. But I’d over indulge alone in my car…Being completely honest with my husband helps me so much, I’m free to be myself. Finally.

Your thoughts about power really resonate because when I had disordered eating it was all about control, and I kept secrets to maintain that control. .-= Sagan´s last blog ..Day 29 of the Vegan Challenge =-.

I can’t remember who said this but the quote is,”The more secrets a family has, the less healthy the family.” I’m sure it applies to individuals also.

Diane, you write very educational posts looking at the whole health and fitness area from so many interesting perspectives. Not surprising that you are so well followed.
