Having been that helper who has walked with a compulsive overeater for the past six years, I would add a third point to the reason why someone doesn't ask for help - They don't want to give up their addiction. There's always some reason why they can't do it now, it's not the right time, they aren't strong enough, they need to take a break, work is so stressful, I don't understand, etc., etc., etc.
fear. we need new behaviors to replace the addictive behavior. As Dr. Dean Ornish states, a smoker won't give us their 24 reliable friends in each box. What's that song about "I drink alone? ""me and my Buddy-weiser". .. Also as 'Muricans we believe in the myth of self reliance so we are hesitant to ask for herp.
There's something wrong with you. You dont help anyone actually. Hope they are away from you now. They likely overate to deal with a toxic partner such as yourself
Jamie, I'm just seeing this now, on New Year's Eve, the transition into 2024. Your talk is so inspiring and meaningful. You are so vulnerable and willing to speak about the hard things. That's not easy, so thank you for that. I teared up during your talk. I hope your talk gets seen by many more who struggle with food, as I have for years. This can help so many. I watch/read everything I can about addiction and disordered eating, hoping to find every nugget of wisdom, every strategy, every helpful comforting thought that just might get me on the right track. I have been "on track" at times, but went through some stressful times in the last few months which set me back into old ways. Thank you for saying what you've lived, so honestly.
You opened my eyes with this talk about the “secrets each of us hold”. Or as you so aptly put it “the secrets that hold on to us”. It is up to us to open up about these secrets and find a way to address them. Thank you for this.
Thanks Jamie for your message. So much of my story lies in yours as well. Conquering Bulimia and various Addictions. Daily Accountability is so important, and I find that I am still very Susceptible at times to my compulsive thought processing. Thank you for bringing relatability to the struggle so many of us face.
That was really helpful. I am ashamed about food and I get wrestled in the chocolate cookie aisle. 13:00 I like the idea of becoming the CEO of me. I'll have to figure out the biggest secret I am keeping....

Powerful and important point.

13:00 I like the idea of becoming the CEO of me. I'll have to figure out the biggest secret I am keeping....
You've got this!
What does that mean? How do they help? What does that mean they hold you accountable how?
What if you dont have that person to ask for help from?
See if you have a celebrate recovery near where you live :) it’s helpful for accountability
Great 😊 ❤
God bless u

"Deepest secret"
What if you can't tell that to anyone
My sister is five-foot-one and weighs 500 pounds.
All that she does is eat.
Where do I get is the most triggered, what food is it, what is the biggest secret I am keeping?
Hummmmm......
