HI Deborah,

Congratulations for finding and USING EFT! What I tell my clients when I assign homework as daily tapping just starting out is that I would rather have compliance instead of burn out but some people are fine doing it and are happy to be doing it more often. Some questions that will reveal where you can focus some of your tapping sessions are when did I gain this weight, what are my problem eating patterns or foods, I would rather be eating than feeling/doing/being ____?

The excess weight is a symptom of the unresolved heavy baggage of your emotional life. Find those, tap on them, and you will release the weight easily.

I would also recommend that you view Gary's DVDs to give you some understanding of the process.

Blessings,

Alina Frank, CERT-I

Hi. I'm Deborah from east TN. I've started tapping today. I have a lot of health problems, but right now I'm concentrating on loosing weight. Most of my health problems will be eased with the weight loss. So, my question is how often do you do your tapping? Right now, I'm doing it about every hour. Is that too often? Any tips will be appreciated. Deborah Brent

Hi OneLove,

There's a great free site called Lose Weight with Me and EFT. It's run by an experienced EFT and a dietician who share concrete strategies. I think it might be a good place to dialogue with people about this question. The site is at http://loseweightwithmeandeft.ning.com/

With much love,

When I eat well, I seem to sabotage myself by not exercising. When I'm exercising, I sabotage myself by not eating well. I find myself going through periods where I absolutely LOVE exercising and when I absolutely HATE it. It seems like the minute I realize I'm losing weight and feeling better, I ruin it for myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)

Tapping to rid self of good emotion?

buffadchick — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:59:07 GMT

Since tapping removes negative emotions- what about positive ones? My problem is that I love the feel of being overly stuffed. I feel safe and abundant and it reminds me of times when I'm celebrating something with lots of friends and family. When I was little my mom used to tell me to stop eating when I was full unless it was a special occasion or the food was really yummy. So now I try to recreate those feelings by stuffing my face. I never feel satisfied until my stomach is huge. Tapping on "even though I don't feel satisfied until I'm stuffed" doesn't seem to help, maybe because it's still a positive emotion?

Re: not addicted to food but still want to lose weight

Hi,

You don't have to be a food addict or super overweight to benefit with the use of EFT. In my opinion, what you want to do is to get to the beliefs/stories/negative experiences/patterns/negative feelings/core issues that are feeding the extra weight that you haven't been able to release.

Some set-up phrases that you may want to use or alter, Even though:

a part of me doesn't think that EFT can get rid of this extra weight...
I don't like what I see in the mirror, I deeply and completely love and accept myself--including the part that is hanging on the extra weight
there may be a part of me that doesn't feel safe letting go of this extra weight...
I wish that I never would have gone on that dreaded Paxil...
I don't deserve to be carrying this extra weight because I take such good care of my body...

You may want to ask yourself, Is there a payoff for keeping this extra weight? If so, what is it? Did you make a pact with your body around 4 years ago that you have forgotten about?

Let me know if any of this helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

EFT for Energy

Hi All, I recently discovered EFT and have been using it in conjunction with the law of attraction to help me lose a little weight and feel better about myself. So far, EFT has been a great help with emotional eating, which was my biggest problem. Now that I'm not focused on food to help neutralize my feelings, I'm realizing that a lot of my overeating has to do with my fatigue. I love to exercise and I have a great cross-training plan that includes cardio intervals, yoga and lifting. None of it is too strenuous, and my body has a lot of endurance. Unfortunately, lately one morning workout will absolutely deck me for the whole day. Even working at a children's gym puts me to sleep. I've had problems with sleeping in and missing my alarms. I'll sleep 9 or 10 hours and either walk around like a zombie or take a 2-3 hr nap. So in my head, I solve every problem with food. Therefore, getting as many carbs and protein as I can gobble down to keep me awake is making me gain weight rather than lose it! Does anyone have ideas for scripts that can bring me out of this fog?

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

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Hi Claire,

Thank you for sharing on our forum. I believe that it takes courage to share here.

Adding on to what Paul had to say, here are some set-up phrases that you could use (and change them so it’s closer to your own language), Even though:

I don’t have the greatest eating habits, but I was always able to eat whatever I wanted and never gained weight, and I feel _________________ because that doesn’t seem to be my truth anymore…

Menopause caused me to balloon…
I am tired to not being able to fit in my size 8’s…
since I have been through so much, I deserve to eat whatever I want...

I have to deal with my thyroid and it is hard to believe that EFT could do anything for that especially since I consider myself a novice…

Claire, personally, I like to use humor, so for a reminder phrase, you may want to use “hippo”, or “big fat hippo” when you tap on your points. You want to move the stuck energy and laughing is great for that.

The things that you know that you should do—do:

Eat smaller portion
Drink more water
Eat slower
Don’t multi-task when you eat

Tap when you make a mistake—and forgive yourself for the mistakes when you make them.

I have found that losing weight and keeping it off is about awareness:

Are you eating because of physiological hunger?
Or are you letting something get to you—and you are eating because of that emotion?
Are you giving yourself the treats that you really want in life or you treating yourself with food?

Last week, I tapped with someone who is a diabetic and the swelling went down in his legs. He ended up not having to go to the doctor’s appointment the next day. So, my point is that EFT could help your metabolism and your thyroid, too.

Let me know if any of this helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Brick walls...

pattyann2264 — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:23:06 GMT

I would like to start this posting by saying that I am not a therapist. I am what Gary calls a "do it yourselfer". A counselor that I worked with used EFT and taught me the basics. I then purchased the foundational DVDs. I've learned a lot, but it seems that the deeper I get into my own "stuff", the more trees I find in my huge forest.

What I am working on is weight loss. For health reasons it is imperative that I lose quite a bit of weight. As I've started trying to tap away my trees, things like feeling unsafe, high job stress, and feeling like I don't deserve to be slender have come up, but no matter how much I tap, I find that late in the evenings I have a compulsion to eat. No cravings, no specific foods, just a "have to fill the void" kind of thing. I'll lose a little weight, then I'll gain a little. Up and down, with no real progress.

I've also purchased and used Carol Look's CDs of telesessions for weight loss, and Carol Solomon's book on weight loss and cravings, and although they have touched on a number of my own issues, I'm still dealing with the brick wall that I can't see a way around.

I have worked hard, and I have been consistent about daily tapping, but I have no idea how to approach the brick wall that I keep running into, and how to get past the point where I'm medicating myself with food.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
