about the book

Secret Donuts

How many times in your life have you thought to yourself, “If only I lose weight, my life will be complete?” Oftentimes we equate our value as human beings to external factors such as our physical appearance, our professional success, or the amount of money in our bank account. We lose sight of the fact that these factors do not matter to God, and that we do not need to wait for them to manifest in order to carry out our God-given purpose in life.

In Secret Donuts, Alicia Watson takes us through her story of her obsession with losing weight, something she believed was a necessary step to carrying out her purpose, when in fact her compulsive need to do so was the hindrance. Through down-to-earth, funny, and profound musings, she shows us how she was able to get out of this harmful mindset and how you can too.
