food crisis-shame-isolation

This epiphany came out of an email exchange with a friend -

I was just thinking - the 1. admitting I have food crisis is good - as in being honest with myself and revealing the secret and 2. by sharing and you sharing I don't feel alone or crazy - like I am not the only one who deals with this and so my pattern isn't so isolating and 3. by braking the secret I also break the shame of this pattern. I know the culture jokes about this sometimes, but we don't really talk about it because we are taught to be ashamed of the pattern and keeping the shame in silence builds the isolation and WW doesn't get at the secret  and the shame and isolation of the secret.
