EFT for Healthy Weight

Using EFT for Emotional Eating, Food Cravings & Weight Management

Discover Your Beautiful Body

As with everything else in life, your mind is by far the biggest factor in achieving a healthy relationship with food and body weight. Uplift your thoughts and clear the clutter of doubt, fear and limiting beliefs with EFT.

EFT for Healthy Weight The Golden Stairs - Burne-Jones

We all run into problems when one part of our mind, the conscious part, makes a decision, (i.e. to get in shape, or slim down), but the far more powerful subconscious has conflicting ideas!

Your subconscious mind dominates 95% of your decisions and choices. It contains everything you have ever seen or heard, including negative or misleading comments by parents, teachers, friends, advertisements, and all the thoughts and fears you have ever entertained.

What does your subconscious mind have to do with weight issues?

Everything!

  • You might have picked up beliefs in childhood about how hard it is to lose weight, because your mother often complained about her weight struggles, and your inner child still wants to be like her.
  • You might eat to fill an emptiness inside or a need for nurturing that you never got as a child.
  • Your subconscious fears can cause you to gain weight as a way of armoring yourself against rejection, difficult relationships, loss of love, sexual vulnerability, or any number of other fears.
  • Worry about fitting in to a society obsessed with appearances could trigger a rebellious urge to “pig out” so as not to be controlled by others.

Your Subconscious Mind Is
Running Your Life 90% of the Time!

There are innumerable reasons (which are not reasonable at all) that cause your subconscious mind to sabotage your conscious choices, but the bottom line is that they are always attempting to help or protect you in some way.

Did you get that?
I’ll say it again, just to make sure you did, because it’s important.

Your subconscious mind is always trying to help and protect you, even when it goes against your conscious choices!

The problem is that your subconscious doesn’t always understand what is best for you. You have to educate it. That’s where EFT and Law of Attraction Coaching come in.

Law of Attraction is a law of the Universe that basically states: Whatever you focus your thoughts on will become your reality. Your thoughts attract your experience of reality.

So if you keep thinking things like, “I’m too fat. I’m so overweight. I can’t fit into my jeans. I can’t stop eating. I can’t lose weight no matter how hard I try,” those thoughts will become your reality – and continue to be your reality as long as you keep thinking them.

The way to get OUT of that reality
is to stop giving it attention!

  • Focus your thoughts on ANYTHING else.
  • Distract yourself with friends, pets, activities, projects, hobbies, movies, books, walks, bike rides, or anything else that won’t remind you of your weight issues – obviously not food.
  • Appreciate everything you can find to appreciate.
  • Think about only what you like about your body.
  • Don’t use the “MY” word in connection with your weight – or any other problem or disease. Don’t claim it as your own.
  • STOP telling others that you are on a diet, or you need to lose weight! Just don’t talk about it at all.

Not so easy? That’s why I mentioned EFT.

Everyone is different, so you may have different subconscious beliefs and fears than someone else, but if you can uncover the subconscious factors that are running your life, you can often release them with EFT. The best way to do that is to listen to your own words and thoughts while you do the tapping – your inner dialogue.

Beliefs are simply thoughts that you keep repeating to yourself! Once you recognize them and remove the energy from them, they will lose their power to run your life.

You can use EFT to counteract your limiting beliefs, by stating your limiting belief and then stating the truth as you want it to be for you.

Here are a few set up phrases you might want to “tap” on.

See if they ring true for you:

  • Even though I believe I am too fat, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. (Refer to EFT page for complete instructions.)
  • Even though I’ve always been overweight, I choose to allow my body to find it’s ideal, healthy weight now.
  • Even though I want to eat when I am already full, I love and accept myself completely.
  • Even though I’ve gained all this weight, I know I still have a beautiful, slender body inside.
  • Even though I have this fear that men (women) will “hit on me” if I lose weight, I love and accept myself just the way I am.
  • Even though I hate the way I look in the mirror, I accept that I am beautiful inside and out.
  • Even though I can’t stop eating that (chocolate, chips, cookies, cheese, or whatever it is for you), I love and accept that insatiable part of myself.
  • Even though my mother was fat, and my father was fat, I choose to love myself enough to create my own slender reality!
  • Even though family or friends may feel threatened by my new and beautiful body, I love myself enough to enjoy it just for me.
  • Even though most people get fatter with age, I choose to be like the healthy ones who remain slim.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Listen to your own “self-talk” and use your own words to create set-up phrases unique to you. If you need some assistance, I will be happy to walk you through the steps to a slimmer, healthier YOU.
