“She was a pillar of strength for everyone else—but behind closed doors, food was her secret demon.”

Meet Deedee.

A pastor, a leader, and a trusted source of wisdom for her community, Deedee was a rock for everyone around her. She prayed for others, counseled them through life’s toughest moments, and led with unwavering faith.

But behind her sermons and smiles, Deedee carried a silent burden.

Her struggle wasn’t with her congregation or her calling. It was with food.

For years, food held a quiet but unrelenting power over her. It wasn’t just a battle of willpower—it was a cycle of shame and defeat that no amount of discipline or prayer seemed to break.

👉 She felt trapped in a war no one could see, battling guilt every time she reached for food to cope.
👉 She gave all of herself to others but felt empty and disconnected when it came to her own needs.
👉 And as someone others looked up to for strength, she felt alone, believing no one would understand her pain.

“I was ashamed,” Deedee confessed. “How could I, a pastor, be so out of control?”

But then, Deedee made a choice.

She decided it was time to stop fighting a losing battle and confront the real issue head-on.

Deedee discovered that her struggle wasn’t about food at all—it was about healing the emotional wounds and stories that had been keeping her stuck for so long. And for the first time, she realized this wasn’t about dieting or control—it was about finding peace.

In this life-changing episode, Deedee shares:
✨ How she broke free from decades of food struggles and shame.

✨ Why her role as a pastor made the journey even harder—and how she overcame the fear of judgment.

✨ The powerful steps she took to heal her relationship with food, her body, and herself.

Deedee’s story is a reminder that even those who lead others need help sometimes. It’s also proof that no matter how long you’ve been stuck, freedom is always possible.

"I have spent thousands of dollars and lost (and gained) hundreds of pounds. Every other program I’ve ever done has always been about the food – and about measuring, and about restrictions. No other program ever addressed what was happening within ME, and the constant conflict between my mind and my body."

"My life is unrecognizable from when I started. By this I mean that my EXTERNAL life hasn’t changed; I live in the same house with my husband and kids etc.... BUT my internal world is completely different. I feel deeply connected to myself and who I am…"

"This whole thing was an INTERNAL job, and now food is finally just food. It’s no longer my source of comfort or shame. But it was so much more than the food….I was in an internal war with myself, and it was a hateful, mean-spirited, vicious war. And now that's just not who I am anymore."
