Tell the truth today, as much as possible, in every instance. Say what you’re really feeling and thinking — unless it would actually hurt someone for them to hear it. If you find it hard to reveal your true thoughts, at least start by being totally real to yourself.

Tell yourself exactly what you think and feel. The more real we are, the less we have to worry about hiding, or covering up for our shame, guilt, or embarrassment. Eating too much and making ourselves fat is, in another way, hiding from life. We’re avoiding showing or being the true, real, healthy selves we were created to be.
