Using EFT Tapping to Counteract Negative Health Messages Around Obesity

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

It’s difficult to read a newspaper or tune into the daily TV news without reading or hearing yet another dire warning about the health dangers associated with obesity. I’m expecting to see any day now that obesity is the cause of global warming, the rising crime rate and the high price of real estate in Vancouver.

I am not impressed with these endless warnings. I have to put this carefully, because I am not discounting the health concerns that surround obesity. I certainly recognize the health benefits to be realized when we take off the excess pounds.

 But!!!

I believe that we’re going a little over the top with the scare tactics.  Obesity has become the new public enemy and we’re gonna fight it, dammit!  

I see a problem with this. Because of my spiritual and philosophical beliefs, I believe that we attract that which we focus on.  Focusing on the occurrences of obesity will increase those numbers. Focusing on the related health dangers will increase the incidents of obesity related health problems.

 On the other hand, focusing on fitness and health will increase the occurrences of fitness and health.  I would love to see a newspaper headline that read, “60% of adults are within their ideal weight range,” rather than, “40% of adults are overweight.”  (I’m not claiming these are the correct percentages. I’m just using these as an example.)

Counteracting the Negative Messages

If you are overweight, I strongly suggest you use tools such as the Silva Method or EFT tapping to counteract these negative messages.

Take the pounds off, certainly, but do it by focusing on the positive, not the negative. By meditating or tapping on fitness, ideal weight, good health, etc., you will attract more of those things that you want.

You may want to do some EFT tapping to address the fears and concerns you have around health. “Even though I am worried that I will develop some horrible disease because of my weight, I deeply and completely accept myself.”   After several rounds of that,  proceed to tapping in the positive messages. “I now achieve my ideal body weight. I enjoy good health. I will always maintain a perfectly healthy body and mind.”

 And incidentally, if you’d like a little encouraging news for a change, my daily newspaper reported yesterday that when critically ill, fat patients have a better survival rate than slim people. The research was conducted by Dr. Folu Akinnusi, from the University of Buffalo’s Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine. There are various theories as to why this is so.

This EFT Script Overcomes Resistance to Losing Weight

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Do you need to lose weight but just can’t seem to take the first step? EFT tapping is a wonderful tool to help you overcome whatever excuses you have for delaying the inevitable if you just can’t force yourself to do it. 

Let’s say your favorite excuse is, “Everybody in my family is overweight.”

Why not tap that away?

Before starting any tapping session, be sure you have a drink of water. You brain works very hard during a tapping session and it requires hydration.  Drink water periodically during your tapping rounds as well.

Begin tapping, going around the tapping points that you typically use.

 The following script is a good one. It gradually takes you through your resistance. Repeat as often as needed, and use on every excuse that comes to mind.

The EFT Script for Overcoming Diet Resistance

“Even though I can’t lose weight because everybody in my family is overweight, I deeply and completely accept myself.”  Done three times.

I can’t lose weight.  It’s in my family. We’re all overweight. There is nothing I can do about it.  You can’t fight your genes. It’s not my fault. I have no control over this. I’m helpless against my family background. I’m doomed to be overweight just like mom or dad. There’s nothing I can do. It’s out of my hands. There’s no point even starting a diet. I don’t even want to lose weight. I want to be fat. I like being fat. It’s my destiny. Nobody is going to make me lose weight  Nobody is going to control me. I won’t give in to anybody. I’ll stay as fat as I want. It’s my business anyway.

Of course, I can see some advantages to losing weight. It might be worth considering some  day. Not today though. Not for a very long time. Maybe sometime I might consider losing weight. I might be okay to look slim and fit. I might like how I feel when I’m slender. I’d probably feel better. My partner would like it. My sex life might improve. My health would be better.

Maybe its worth thinking about losing weight. Maybe I might think about going on a diet. I think I might. I might do it. I might really get serious about this. I’m gong to do it Yes I am. I’m going to start losing weight right away. I want to do this.

It’s my decision. I’m in control here. I intend to have a slim, fit healthy body. I deserve to be healthy and fit. I’m doing it now. I’m doing it. I’m ready now. I can do this thing and I will do it. And that’s the way its going to be.

This is just one of the many ways that EFT tapping can help to promote weight loss.

No Motivation to Lose Weight? Try EFT Tapping

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

One of the most challenging aspects of going on a diet (or making a lifestyle change) is overcoming the initial resistance and apathy.

You know you need to lose weight. You know your need to. You know the quality of your life will improve if you rid yourself of the unwanted pounds.

Maybe every week you vow that you’ll start on Monday. But when Monday comes, the diet doesn’t happen.

Maybe you don’t even vow to start on Monday. Maybe you’ve just given up and resigned yourself to being overweight.

 There is some good news for you. EFT tapping will remove this resistance easily and fairly quickly.

First, make a list of all the reasons why you do not take action.

A Few Popular Excuses for Avoiding Losing Weight

You may be familiar with some of the following:

    I hate thinking about changing my eatingI hate giving in to all the people who are nagging me to lose weightIt’s no use anyway. I always gain it backWhat’s the point? I’m happy the way I am.I don’t believe obesity is as dangerous as they say.

    If I lose weight, I’ll have to get a new wardrobe and I can’t afford it

    I want to but I just haven’t got the will power

    Food is the best thing in my life and I don’t want to give it up

    I’m just a big loser anyway

    People should appreciate me for myself and not my size

    I can’t lose weight. It’s genetic

    All of my family members are overweight.

    My friends are overweight and they won’t chum with me if I lose weight

    I like eating foods full of fat and sugar

    I hate exercise

    I’ll start after Christmas, my birthday, my vacation, etc.

    I’m under too much stress

    I don’t have time to plan healhy meals

    I have to eat in restaurants a lot and you can’t lose weight that way

    It’s a side effect of my medication

    Healthy food costs too much

    I’d have to prepare separate meals for my family

    Everybody gains weight after menopause

    Everybody gains weight after having a baby

    I sit at a desk all day. I can’t get any exercise

    Everybody with my ethnic background eats a lot

    People tempt me to overeat

    I don’t process carbohydrates properly

    My metabolism is too slow

    etc.

Once you have identified your own excuses, begin doing EFT tapping on each one of them.

Top Ten Ways for Using EFT to Lose Weight

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

EFT tapping (emotional freedom technique) is a huge benefit to anyone wanting to lose weight or to maintain a weight loss. 

 EFT is a component of the new Energy Psychology. It’s simple to do, easy to learn, has no known side effects, and its amazingly effective. Essentially, you tap your fingers on various acupuncture points while focusing on an emotion or condition you want to change.  The process redirects electromagnetic energies associated with emotion, behaviours, physical health and well-being.

If you’ve never done EFT tapping before, it sounds, looks and feels very strange. However, as I said earlier, its enormously powerful. And, the good news is that you don’t have to believe in EFT for it to work. Your belief is unimportant. The healing happens at an energy level. You will believe in it after you experience the results — and in a lot of cases, you will achieve results that eluded you through the more traditional approaches.

Here are ten tips for using EFT to lose weight and keep it off.

 1. EFT Tapping to Reduce Food Cravings.

Do several rounds of tapping to reduce food cravings. “Even though I crave this chocolate cake…”  After some rounds of tapping, the craving for the cake is gone.

 2. EFT Tapping for Emotional Eating

Many overweight people are emotional eaters.  When you feel upset, you eat. When you feel angry, you eat. When you feel anxious.,  you eat.  By tapping directly on the emotion you are feeling, you remove this uncomfortable emotion and the desire to overeat goes away along with it.

 Suppose you have anxiety over money matters. Your anxiety drives you to eat food high in fats, sugars and starches. EFT tapping removes the anxiety, and that has two benefits. Not only have you removed the desire to overeat, but without this worry and fear, you’re in a better frame of mind to find a solution to the money situation.

“Even though I am so worried about paying my bills this month…. ”

3. EFT Tapping for Vague Discontent

Sometimes you just feel unhappy, irritable and discontented for no good reason. This erodes your motivation to eat sensibly. You just don’t give a darn.  Even in this situation, EFT is the answer. “Even though I’m feeling “blah” and don’t know why…. ”

 5.  EFT Tapping to Remove Resistance to Starting a Diet

Sometimes you put off starting a diet even though you really want to be rid of the excess weight. Going on a diet means a change of lifestyle that seems uncomfortable.  You are keenly aware of “what you will be giving up.” You anticipate great hunger. You dislike eating fruits and vegetables. You don’t want to exercise.  EFT tapping helps you overcome this resistance. You may have to tap persistently for a few days or longer before you are clear about your commitment. “Even though I don’t want to start a diet…”

6. EFT Tapping to Improve Self Esteem

Obesity leads to self hatred and lowered self esteem. Self hatred does not motivate you to diet and improve your life. The lower your self esteem, the harder it will be for you to make a commitment to health and fitness. Use EFT regularly to remove self hatred related to weight issues and self hatred related to anything else. ‘Even though I feel badly about myself …”

7. EFT Tapping to Remove Resistance to Exercise

Dislike exercise? What excuses do you come up with to avoid exercising regularly? Identify whichever one you are using today, and tap, “Even though I don’t want to exercise because ….”   The resistance will reduce after a few rounds of tapping.

8.  EFT Tapping to Prepare for Dangerous Eating Situations

Worried about losing control of your eating at the birthday party or other social activity? Tap in confidence and commitment before you go. “Even though I am afraid of losing control of my eating tonight…”

9. EFT Tapping to Deal with Plateaus

Plateaus are discouraging. You’re doing everything right and the scales won’t budge. Instead of giving up and ordering a pizza, do some EFT tapping. “Even though I’m discouraged because I haven’t lost weight for two weeks…”

10. EFT Tapping to Reinforce Positive Messages

Every day, do a few rounds of tapping to reinforce your commitment to your new lifestyle.  Think of all the positive lifestyle messages you want to strengthen, then go through several rounds of tapping while saying them aloud. eg  “I intend a slim, fit, healthy body.”
