Hi Julie,
I would imagine that it would be difficult to see your sweet daughter being made fun of... I too, have a grown son, daughter, and granddaughter that I love very much.
Personally, I would learn how to do EFT and practice it on different issues. For example, start with simple things like:
- headache
- stomache
- physical pain
You could work on yourself. Read about results people are getting with EFT on Gary Craig's EFT Newsletter and the Forum here. You can use the search engine to look up what people have done on the emofree.com website.
While you are learning, and practicing EFT, you will be building confidence from your experience in using EFT.
You could also tap on your emotions that you have about your daughter's situation. If it were my daughter, I could imagine feeling helpless, sadness, and possibly anger or guilt.
Also, I would make a study of your daughter's situation, and take notes. When did she start gaining weight? Was there a particular incident? When does she overeat? What kind of names do the kids call her? What emotions does she stuff? How active is she? Does she eat while she is watching TV? Does she eat junk foods? Does she multitask while she eats? Does she eat quickly? What emotions doe your daughter struggle with expressing?
You could use the information from your observations about your daughter to tap on... or you may want to find a practitioner that has experience with these issues... if it seems like too much.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I believe that this is a complex issue, and your daughter is a sensitive girl. I don't know of a simple statement that you can use with EFT that will just fix the problem. However, EFT can help--if down properly.
Julie, to summarize my personal recommendation, it would be for you to either get a track record yourself with EFT before you try using EFT on your daughter's weight issue or find an EFT practitioner that specializes in weight control.
I just had another thought. After you learn how to do EFT, you could teach your daughter how to use EFT for situations where she feels:
If your daughter knows how to use EFT when she is feeling emotional, it could help her feel her emotions instead of eating.
Hope something here helps,
With loving compassion,
JoAnn
