I'm loving EFT at the mo as well! I've been using it in all sorts of ways, and feel like it's really helping. I'd definitely be interested to see how you get on with it. I might join you and see how much weight I can put on For me that'd be more of a tapping for motivation to workout / improve confidence to lift more... type of thing!

If anyone else wants to join in on this, set up your skype and we can chat,I am quite confident in my EFT abilities so if I can be of any assistance to anyone please skype me.EFT and weightloss is very successfull, I used to be on 80-85% raw food and the weight fell off me but then that was unsustainable and as my dad gets older and is no longer able to take care of himself there is lots of emotional eating and lots of carbs. being consumed so the weight piled on.Now its time to work on the emotional issues underneath as my health is going to suffer.
So hopefully we will get some interested members to do this

Since doing my EFT training in september i now cannot eat chocolate , not that I was a big chocolate fiend but the stuff makes me feel sick now. However I have been trying EFT on my addiction to ice lollies. I have been addicted to recket lollies for about 3 years and eat almost 40 per week the eft isnt helping at the moment.
I do need to lose weight and was thinking about starting a healthy eating plan so would be up for working along with you start (having a tapping buddy would be good too!)

Hi Trina! I was just wondering (and I'm sure someone will know more about this than me)... if someone habitually chews ice / ice cubes, it tends to be a symptom of low iron. Is there any chance that the ice lolly addiction is related?

It's a bit of an off-the-wall suggestion, I know, but it just popped into my head

Ok, I have got my healthy low calorie plan done and should safely see me loose 2/3 lbs a week.I also have my exercise plan which is not too rigid.

So I will be using EFT for the following

1. Sticking with the plan, not the usual 2 day diet and give up

2.Avoiding binges of Carbs.

3.Sticking with my exercise plan

4.Not getting discouraged etc

It will be interesting to see what comes up and what has had me yoyo dieting over the years

It's great that you are setting goals. I would suggest that you word these goals in a positive manner, as we get what we focus on. Write each one so that it is specific, and positive. E.g.

1. Sticking with the plan, not the usual 2 day diet and give up
Enjoying my healthy eating and sticking to it easily and effortlessly.

2.Avoiding binges of Carbs.
Eating all categories of food in balance, only when I am physically hungry.

3.Sticking with my exercise pan
Naturally incorporating exercise into my everyday lifestyle.

4.Not getting discouraged etc
Being full of enthusiasm and motivation at the positive life giving changes.

Note your inner dialogue - ensure that you are mindful that this is positive, uplifting and encouraging. Focus on health, life giving changes, not deprivation and lack. xx

Hi Vanessa, what you have mentioned will be great when I move onto the Choices method and instill the positive,for now I would like to clear the negative first,thats just the way I personally would like to approach it

Ok so I have not got very far, I just could not resist the brown bread and lots of butter and 2 biscuits and have not gone for my walk either.

I now have a slice of brown bread and a biscuit in front of me and I am going to tap for the 'taste', 'sight' and 'smell' of these foods, also for the fact that I am disappointed in ME at the moment.

Not sure if posting here is of any interest to people, perhaps I am writing to myself , but here goes.

Did the tapping on the brown bread, the smell brought me back to my mother who was the home baker of all bakers, if I came home from school after having a bad day you would smell the fresh bread and eating it dampened down all the problems so down down with them, the deeper the better and move on, not knowing it would all erupt again in later life.I also realised I eat it very fast as if there is an urgency to get rid of the emotion.The main emotions coming up are 'rejection', 'sadness' 'lonliness'.
Well on with more tapping, talk later, if ye are interested ?

Well Im glad someone is getting some benefits.

Tapped away and then tasted a biscuit and it actually tastes better than it did before, which can happen so lots more tapping there to do

The brown bread looks quite stodgy now so I just dont want it, another good thing about EFT is you do not need to use will power, once you reach the core issues you just dont have that craving, you have the choice to eat it or not.
Having worked away on the emotions which came up it surprised me to know I had so much stuff still there but Im ok with that.

Another revelation, I remember growing up whenever we tried to do anything, not just in the kitchen we would be told we were making a mess and to get out SO the foods I reach for are quick, a slice of bread with butter and topped with cheese is quick to prepare.I only cook when necessary so to prepare healthy meals for myself I just try to avoid it

Be back later to keep everyone updated
