Hi Everyone 

 I've just stumbled across some personal success with  EFT for weight loss. I was actually using a script written by Curtis Duncan which he posted on the abundance forum. I have posted about my success with this script on the abundance section if anyone is interested. Basically it works on releasing the 'need' for money and so helps you to focus on attracting more of what you want by raising your vibration. Curtis explains it better!

 Anyway  I was asked to work with someone on weight loss issues which I have not done before, and wondered whether I could adapt Curtis' script for weight loss instead of money. So the script helps you to release the 'need' to lose weight. If you're not focussed on feeling fat and dieting then you're focussing on the feelings you DO want, so you attract more of that to you instead. Well I tried the script on myself and have noticed a major shift. I've always been a picker, and tend to eat extra things between meals, especially in the evening. I'm not overweight but I was at my happiest when I was half a stone lighter than I am now, so if i do lose a few pounds then great!

I wanted to post the script here for people to try or give feedback. I wonder if I've subconsciously written this for myself or whether this would resonate with anyone else?

Tap the karate chop point whilst repeating each of these set up statements once:-

Even though I need to lose weight, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself

Even though I need to lose weight because I feel so fat, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself anyway

Even though I really need this weight to fall of me, I deeply and completely love and forgive myself anyway

I really cannot be happy until I am thin,  When I am thin then I can be happy,

I feel so frustrated because I not losing any weight, Forget thinking myself thin, I just need to lose some weight now

I will not allow myself to feel good until I have lost at least half a stone, Who am I feel good about myself now even though I haven't lost that half a stone

I am so attached to the idea of losing weight that a part of me knows that this attachment is really not in my best interest, I might as well be upset about it because i am not losing weight

How can I not want to be slim, I can't fit into my favourite clothes, I hate the way I look,  I've been struggling with my weight for so long

I have been unhappy about my weight for ages, I have blamed all the situations in my life because i can't lose the weight,

I keep focussing on feeling fat and so that is all i see about myself.

Even though I still need to lose weight, I deeply and completely love myself

 

I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below.

Eyebrow:  I really need to lose weight now
Side of Eye: I feel so fat and uncomfortable
Under Eye:  My clothes feel so tight
Nose:  I have been struggling with my weight for so long now
Chin:  I am so attached to dieting
Collarbone:  I have this need to diet
Under Arm: I cannot be happy until I have lost at least half a stone
Head:  Only people who are thin can be happy
 
Eyebrow:  I am really struggling with dieting
Side of Eye: I keep saying that I need to lose weight
Under Eye:  and then I put on more weight
Nose:  I have all this excess weight
Chin:  I wish so much that I didn't have this excess weight
Collarbone:  I really need to lose this weight
Under Arm:  I never feel thin enough and I need to lose weight

Eyebrow:  How can I not need to lose weight
Side of Eye: When I really feel uncomfortable
Under Eye:  Of course I need to lose weight
Nose: I will not allow myself to be happy until I have lost at least half a stone maybe more
Chin:  People are crazy in telling to me to be happy now even though I need to lose weight
Collarbone:  Only thin people can be happy
Under Arm:  I have become really attached to wanting to be thin again
 Head:  Maybe because I feel that I will never be thin again

Eyebrow:  This tapping is NOT going to help me lose weight, how can it, I feel so daft doing this?
Side of Eye: I'll have to seriously get into some exercise to lose weight and I just can't be bothered!
Under Eye:  I don't want to have to change anything I do to lose weight
Nose: Why do I have all these mental blocks to losing weight?
Chin:  There's no way I'm giving up chocolate
Collarbone:  Why do I eat more than my body needs?
Under Arm:  I'll never be able to change my eating habits, and actually I don't really want to deep down.
 Head:  What if I only ate exactly what my body wanted, when it needed it?
 
 
Eyebrow:  You can't lose weight just like that!
Side of Eye: I'll have to starve myself to be able to lose any weight.
Under Eye:  I don't want to have to give up any nice food
Nose: Why do I have all these mental blocks to losing weight?
Chin:  If it was that easy to lose weight then why can't I just do it like other people?
Collarbone:  Do I breathe more air than I need?
Under Arm:  Do I drink more water than I need?
 Head:  What if I only ate exactly what my body wanted, when it needed it?

 
Eyebrow:  I choose to release my blocks to losing weight
Side of Eye: I am happy with myself anyway
Under Eye:  Instead of feeling overweight I choose to feel healthy
Nose: I choose to release the excess weight easily
Chin:  I don't even have to consiously think about it
Collarbone:  I deserve to be happy and slim
Under Arm:  I am completely detached from ever needing to diet again
Head: If would be nice to be slimmer right now but I do not NEED to be, I am happy right now
 
 
Eyebrow: I am already getting slimmer right now
Side of Eye:  I do not need to be slim to feel happy with my body right now
Under Eye:  People might think I am crazy for saying that I do not need to be slimmer but I chose to be healthy instead of unhappy with by body
Nose: Wow I feel so free right now
Chin: If I am detached from everything to do with losing weight then I can experience the feeling of health right now
Collarbone:  By feeling healthy now I can only attract more health and thus lose weight naturally
Under Arm:  I love the feeling of being healthy
Head:  I love feeling thinner every day.
 
Take a deep breath and drink some water!

p.s.Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback.

P.P.S Thanks again to Curtis for the  inspiration!


 

Nice job. You addressed the positive & negative. I hope others give it a go & give feedback.

 Hi.  I tried this today as I am a little blocked with other efforts.  I understand all the tapping points except the head.  Where exactly do you tap for this point.  Thanks.

Thank you for sharing such a thorough and thoughtful script. I have done one full round and will do another before I leave the pc. I felt a few energy shifts as I was doing this. So far tapping works for me some of the time but I haven't had any lasting success with weight loss but I am encouraged by the success of others and kept trying.

Hey Nikki:

This is great.. Thank you for sharing. I have just forwarded this to my weight loss support forum called "I am Healthy" - (talk about LOA!) .

I have been doing a 10 week weight loss with EFT program for several years in India and have been quite amazed that "anger" seems to be single most underlying emotion that comes up - every time. I have been wondering if this has to do with our culture.

Although women here are now on top of everything and times are really different from say, 20-30 years back, perhaps there is repression in our consciousness.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Warmly,

Jasmine

 Hi Jasmine

Sorry to reply so late!  Anger's not something I've come up against so much with weight loss. I hear what your saying about repression though. The issues i seem to come up against more are 'not feeling in control'  and 'blaming other circumstances' for weight gain. Things like metabolism, injury, hormones, past trauma, not being happy in life etc. So in a way I think it comes down to not feeling in control of life around us that maybe leads to not being in control of what we eat?? With women our appearance is such an emotive thing, how we look really affects how we feel, but the more we try to diet the harder it seems to be. This is what I like about putting this script together using LOA. If you release that NEED and anxiety about dieting and free yourself from that mindset of 'I must lose weight' 'I need to be slimmer' then I think it makes it easier. 

I've done some more work on weight loss since writing this script as I feel it definately helped me and people I work with, but then you need to remove the other negative thoughts and behaviours around weight and eating habits. I think doing this script using LOA seemed to make it easier to do the rest of the work, almost like laying foundations.

Nikki :-) 

I have only been tapping this script for a couple of days, and it is hard to be sure in such a short amount of time, but I believe that there is something happening here. My plan is to continue to tap this script everyday for at least a month and see how it goes.

thank you for this script.

I am new to this site.  Just signed up yesterday.  I stumbled upon EFT through watching Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin series on the TLC channel in the U.S. a couple of months ago.  I've used EFT for several things but have not committed to it for losing weight, which seems kind of funny since my main focus is about losing weight.  There always seems to be so many other things that need to be dealt with 'first'.  I've had some wonderful success with surrogate tapping for my dog who has nerve damage in her back end.  Her front end walks along just fine and her back end looks like a drunken sailor.  We were actually talking about putting her down around Christmas time but now she is a totally different dog.  She dances and prances around (her back staggering along behind) with a big smile on her face.  So I know it works.  It's not like you can talk a dog into believing what you say. 

Thanks Nikki for such a detailed script.  I think this is just what I need.  I'll be copying this down and taking it home with me to work on tonight.  The list looks like it will address pretty much everything that may come up.  I'll keep you posted. 

 Thanks, Kathy

 Hi Kathy

Wonderful, I'm glad you like the script, please let me know how you get on with it. I have actually produced a video of myself doing the script as if I was doing it with a client. I'm in the process of working out how to upload it along with several other videos. As soon as I've got it sussed I will post a link here for people to try.

Nikki :-) 

I have finished the video at last. I have actually produced 8 videos in total, each looking at a different weight loss issue. I made this one first as I felt it laid a healthy foundation for the rest of the issues. If you can release the need to lose weight, the rest of the issues seem a lot easier to deal with.

You can see the first video here www.nikkiball.co.uk

The quality isn't that great, but I'm working on it!

Nikki :-) 

 Nikki,  that is right on target! I just started tapping with curtis's money script, and found this [weight is my other 'interest'!]  you did great with this, I will be using them both now!  yea!!

PS We dont measure with stones--but if its close to 20 pounds, works for me!

Hi Nikki

I think I will your approach a try as it strikes a chord with me.  I was first introduced to eft a few months ago and have been devouring information on it ever since. 

I had originally gone to a life coach to help me focus on how to get what I thought wanted but it turned out that I wasn't really addressing the 'big' problem which is my weight.  I have been desperately unhappy about it for a long time and I can easily tune into the emotional issues that lie behind it (image obsessed father then IVF).  After receving eft for the 1st time I shed 6lbs in 2 weeks without really thinking about it and that felt great.  However, since then I have loset nothing further and I feel very very unhappy/frustrated as a result.  I have continued to use eft daily and believe I am working on specifics rather than global issues but still the weight refuses to budge.  The frustration also comes from having taken up a lot of excercise in the past 6 months (I swim 1.25kmm 4 times a week and play tennis 2 times and walk everywhere!) which doesn't seem to help with the weight loss.  I feel healthier which is great but the weight has stubbornly refused to shift.  I also genuinely eat a balanced diet and while I occasionally have a few more calories than I should it is rare.  I also don't drink so no hidden calories there! You might also be interested to learn that I went to Thailand a while back and did a fasting/collonics week (sounds awful but I loved it and found it easy!).  I ate nothing for 7 days and didn't lose a pound!  Also, prior to this I spent 2 weeks only eating fruit and veg and didn't lose a pound!

I shall try your suggestion and see where it takes me.  If you have any other suggestions I am willing to try anything!

Thanks so much, Clare

Thank you Nikkinoo for a wonderful post.  I copied your script to use myself. I did have one thought.  I  have learned from my personal EFT trainer that the brain doesn't understand the word no, not, can't, won't. etc.  So I have always worded my script to never use those words.  For example, your sentence: "I will not allow myself to be happy until I have lost at least half a stone maybe more.."  Your brain hears I will allow my self to be happy...When I first start tapping I asked him why I can't just say "I don't want to eat cupcakes anymore?"  That is when he told me all my brain would hear is I want cupcakes.  So I would rephrase that to 'I want to crave cupcakes less and less'....something like that.  Anyway, I wasn't sure if anyone else heard this info.  Thank you for a wonderful, informative post!  Cari

Thanks, just what I needed, I work a lot with weight loss clients and I was looking for some inspiration for a client that is a bit of a challenge.

I will try this and see what happens.

 Nikki, I am hoping to reword this script for my husband to use for his chronic headaches. I have posted about them in the pain forum.

I'll let you know how it goes.
