HAVING FUN WITH WEIGHT LOSS SYMBOLS

dianamoore — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 08:56:59 GMT

Here are some symbols that helped me lose weight..The first one is a
Sanjeenvini Healing card that you can put all your food and liquids on
before consuming and the other is just a subconscious symbol to put on
the fridge or cupboard to remind you what you are doing.

I have read Mercola for a while now in his newsletters. He talked about EFT.

I don't know a thing about EFT.

I am way overweight and had abuse issues in the past. I was doing better but since I started to take the meds for BP and I can't eat MSG or chemicals in food I gained what I Have lost.

Low carb and walking did best for me.

I am tiread of diets and I see that I roller coaster. Do well then not so well.

I want off the stupd meds they have me on. The memory is bad when I take them.

I live alone and get lonely. I used to talk on low carb sites but since the net is such a mix bag of people I don't post a lot any more and I am so tired of being on the net. The news is always bad. I paint paintings and that is what I should put my attention on instead of news I can't fix.

We will make it though this time of money issues but sometimes I wonder becaue of my weight that I will make it.

I follow a different thought on life. I will admit to be an independent Scientologist. That means not of the church. No way the church for their is an movement out of the church to have the teachings.

I am waiting to work with a person in it be a while till I can so I am looking her for some help. This seems to follow some of the thinking of the teachings but differently.

I take thyroid meds too

Working through it all. Any guidance appreciated :o)

Hi EFTers!

This forum is great- it’s wonderful to see so much love & support out there. Hence, I’d like to be a part of it.

I have just started EFT and, to be honest, have found it a bit overwhelming in a way. I’ve been watching videos & reading about it & practicing but it has started to get all a bit too noisy in my head when I think about all of it. I thought if I wrote it all out it would help me. Plus, it may offer anyone interested an opportunity to pass on their guidance– especially if you can pick up on something that I haven’t (particularly you NLP lot).

I am by no means overweight, but I am carrying extra pounds- mostly around my stomach. I’m a bit exasperated by it all now because I feel as though the healthier I try and become, the more weight I put on… & the more obsessed with my weight I am! It drives me nuts that I’m constantly thinking about food (I’m aware of the laws of attraction but sometimes I can’t step off the train of thought).

I used to binge a lot & have since given up junk food/sugar/non-foods. Admittedly, I do have more energy & feel better & find that I don’t actually like the taste of junk foods.. it hasn’t stopped me from overeating though & I have just transferred my sugar addiction to a “healthy food” addiction. It’s to the point now where I feel like anything I eat will make me fat. I can’t just eat a meal any more… I analyse it every time.

So, I realized that I needed to figure out what was holding me back. So far I have come up with the following:

I don’t want to lose weight because I wouldn’t know what to do with myself; I’m scared that I still wont be happy (I’m not depressed or anything, but my weight does bug me & I long for the day when it doesn’t!); I’m afraid of failure ie: I don’t think I’ll ever be able to lose the excess weight; I have so much identity caught up in the way I eat that I wouldn’t know who I was & I don’t want to be “wrong” about eating the way I do; I also feel that losing weight is too hard;

I’ve had a think about when it all started & so far I have come up with: After my mum died, I went to live with my dad & step-mum. It wasn’t the best living arrangement & there was hardly ever any food in the house. When there was food, there was always a competition over it because I have two big brothers (whom I love dearly) that would eat everything. I remember at dinner time my dad being proud when the boys ate a lot so I started to do it too. My step-mum also used to by her own food that none of us were allowed to eat. The only time I got to hang out with my dad was when we went to cafes and he would buy me treats- my brothers never came so I think I began to equate it with feeling special.

As living with my dad & step-mum became more strained, they stopped taking me out for meals & providing food for us was always seen as such a burden. So, when I got a part-time job at 15, I remember I used to spend all my money on food. The grief of my mum not being around, the tumultuous home life, & often being home alone led me to fill my time with eating food. It was the only way I knew how to nurture myself at the time (which is another thing I realize I get out of it).

Plus, in the holidays, I spent all my time with my grandma (mum’s mum) & she used to let me eat any food that I wanted! I used to love going there & just eating all the food I never got at home. I think this in particular made a correlation between mothers love (my grandma) & food.

It doesn’t serve me anymore though but I suppose the little girl in me is afraid of letting it go. It offers me a lot of protection. I have even noticed that I always put a pillow to my stomach so that I feel ‘closed in’/ ‘safe’. I’m not sure what will happen when I drop the belief that I need to be chubby to feel protected. What coping mechanism will I use then??? I have reactive hypoglyceamia which means I also don't eat high starch foods & I'm intolerant to lactose. I have noticed though that these sensitivities have gotten worse.

It’s also a bit of a sore spot because my family are fitness freaks! My dad & brothers are all natural athletes & have competed nationally. I on the other hand…. Well, I’m better at knitting… So, I judge myself a lot for not being fitter (not good I know).

I read in a post someone saying that you need to trust yourself around food. That really resonated with me. I’d love to not be thinking about every morsel of food that I eat. To be honest, I don’t want to eat tubs & tubs of ice cream but…. I find the only way to stop binging is to cut it out. I had to otherwise, I fond that one scoop was never enough- if I had a tiny bit, I had to have the whole lot! I look forward to the day that I can eat a piece of chocolate & be satisfied with that.

I just have to keep the faith that EFT will work. I’m going to do tapping on the events that I’ve mentioned. Although, if anyone has some suggestions on how then I’m very open to them. I’ve got an appointment booked with a practitioner but it’s not for 2 more weeks.

For now, I sort of don’t even know where to start! Plus, I’m not sure how long I should do them for & how many events I should tap for each day. I find food obsession a hard topic to test intensity for.

Wow, this is a mega post. At the very least, I hope that it can offer a hand to those who feel the same way- we’re in this together :o)

Thank you to all of you who give some much loving energy to this forum.

Hugs & blessings to you all.

Hello JoAnn -

Thank you for your welcome post and comments. I am happy to be here to share if it will help others.

There are no certificates or diplomas for me to hang up on the wall to qualify what I know. I share my own process from a place of having personal experience. This in itself is a huge step forward ... had you known me prior ro my accident.

Visiting your website, I noted a reference to re-birthing! I underwent such an experience in the first month of my (in resident) therapy at the Pain Clinic. To borrow the terminology of the current generation ... it was awesome! In retrospect, I think it may have been the catalyst for launching me onto the path of healing. From this experience, I was able to write My Story*TOLD! However, at this time, I think I am needing to revisit it to insert a missing link which I intentionally left out because at the time I felt the need to protect some family members. This incomplete truth (of the hurts I experienced) I think needs to be made complete for my closure.

I appreciate the links in your website and am especially interested in Soul Medicine Institute and it's area of research.

At this time for making this post, I am not sure where it will lead to, but I do know that I must (and I am), keeping all of my channels open.

Using EFT for exercise results

moschini — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:57:03 GMT

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum if it is not, please move it to wherever is more appropriate :) A few years ago I was in an auto accident and had a back/neck/shoulder sprain with my hip hitting the 5-speed floor shift very hard..I was hit from behind in a Mazda Miata (which is a tiny car), and since I didn't see it coming I didn't freeze but I bounced and tweaked to an angle for lack of a better term.

I have had physical therapy and I am 99% better, I am supposed to do sit-ups/leg raise lowers but the strain on my lower back is too much and the next day I can barely stand up or bend over. Yes, I know that if I continue I'd do more but I was wondering, again from seeing the tapes, if I could use EFT to do the sit-ups/leg raises to build my muscles. Then when stronger I'd be able to do them live -

Yes? No? Thoughts?

Have you tapped on disbelief that EFT would work and now it has? Thank your body for its cooperation.

Now that these familiar sensations are gone, I feel lost (or unfocused) in my tapping. I thank my body for restoring my comfort and ease of movement

Re: Holiday Issues: (Article EFT: The Gift to Unwrap and Use before the Holidays!)

Agent EFT — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 01:57:59 GMT

Hi there Clover,

I wrote an article on EFT and the Holidays called EFT: The Gift to Unwrap and Use before the Holidays! which might be in emofree.com

Below are the two areas I focused on with some suggestions for setup statements.

Cheers!

EFT: The Gift to Unwrap and Use before the Holidays!

Family
Three situations that can be especially tough at holiday gatherings are:

1. Conflict with a particular family member
It can be uncomfortable in any setting, holidays or not, to share a meal or being in a room with someone you don’t care for or have had arguments and past tensions with. Here are some set up statements to explore:

Even though
I dread seeing (name of person) I deeply and completely accept myself and my feelings
    A part of me wants to stay home to avoid seeing (name of person),another part of me wants to enjoy the other family members/friends, so I am choosing to be surprisingly calm and confident anyway
    I am remembering how uncomfortable I feel when I see (name of person), I am open to being grounded and centered at the event

2. Feeling pressured by parents/grandparents/siblings:
You have been dating your significant other for some time, and you know subtle and not-so-subtle hints will be made about ‘tying the knot.’ Or maybe you have been married/living together for some time and you are anticipating your Mom or Grandma’s comment, “Oh, I just hope I live long enough around to see my grandchildren.” GULP! EFT to the rescue!

Even though
    I am getting uncomfortable because I know my mom/dad/sibling/grandparent will ask “So, when is (name) going to pop the question”
    I am feeling nervous that someone will ask when are we going to ‘settle down’ and afraid I will get defensive and irritable
    I am feeling that tension in my stomach dreading my Mom/grandma saying, “I just hope I live long enough to see my grandchildren,” I am choosing to feel grounded and lighthearted

3. First holiday after a loss*
Perhaps you have just separated or divorced this past year, or were laid off from your job. Maybe this is your first holiday after your spouse or a family member has died. These are all forms of loss, which can be a particularly sensitive topic around the holidays especially when the emphasis is on ‘good cheer.’ Give one of these set up statements a go:

Even though
    I am feeling anxious because I know I will be asked where (ex-husband/wife) is and a part of me wants to just stay home to avoid questions and their pity
     I feel really sad as this is first holiday without (name) and I am afraid I will start to get emotional in front of everyone
    I am dreading people asking about my job and they don’t know I was laid off and really don’t want to talk about it

Food

1. Overeating*
Sweets, meats and treats… the holidays are about eating delicious dishes and favorite foods that are prepared for particular festivities. It can also be a time of dread for those that are desiring to not overindulge and feel guilty after. Try one of these set ups, modifying words to your specific situation and your specific feelings.

Even though
I am really getting nervous to be around all those goodies and not pig out
    A part of me doesn’t think I can be in control and not overeat
     I have being doing so well in my new way of eating and am getting fearful that I will eat too much and feel guilty later

Do this “EFT work” well before the events you are attending. But don’t forget you can also so do EFT on the spot at the events! Feeling tension with a family member? Wanting to take a third slice of pumpkin pie? Slip into the bathroom or quiet corner, or even dash into your car and have an EFT quickie!

Remember as you are bustling about this season, to unwrap and use this most wonderful gift you already have, EFT, so that your holiday season can truly be festive and fun.

Too skinny -> gaining weight!

Gabrielle — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 09:25:53 GMT

Dear All,

I am looking for a success story on GAINING weight with EFT. I have several clients who have been trying to build up their lean body mass in stead of loosing fat because they are (severely) underweight (without having an eating disorder by the way). They were born light, were skinny as children and are stil skinny as adults.

I specifically would like to find a positive message on developing musculature and a healthy weight by using EFT, eating healthy foods and doing sports in a smart way (i.e. modest weight lifting etc).

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Canda,

There are some great guidelines here for you to follow. Although, I would believe that if you've exhausted your expertise on a subject and are not getting much relief, that may be the point you wish to get outside assistance from a professional EFT Practitioner. I believe your are correct in that the best practitioners are very intuitive and can assist you, without leading you, to deeper issues more effeciently. Practitioners are listed on the emofree.com website and some do phone sessions and/or use video instant messaging, which is the next best thing to being there. This can be done world wide and all you need is a webcam.

Namaste'
