Emotional Eating

Why people lose weight after using EFT on abundance issues.

A very interesting article about emotional eating treated with EFT, by

Carol Look, EFT Master.

One of the most important themes to work on in my abundance workshops is feeling deprived. When someone feels emotionally deprived of money, food, services, love, attention or time, they have an inner sense of scarcity and “not enough” and vibrate this way towards the world. This means that no matter what you show them, tell them or offer them, they can not convince themselves that they are safe and that there is enough of anything ---money, time, love, security etc. The feeling of prosperity (enough, plenty, abundance, wealth) produces prosperity in your life, so if you can change this inner feeling, you can change your outer circumstances. I tend to use statements as follows:

Even though I always feel deprived and know I have to hold on tight, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.

Even though there has never been enough for me…

Even though my parents taught me there was not going to be enough, I accept who I am and how many resources there really are…

Even though I’m afraid there won’t be anything left for me…

Even though I feel deprived right now…

Even though I feel empty inside and want more…

These feelings cause people to exude a certain energy in their businesses (including their clinical practices) which in fact repel what they want financially. These feelings of scarcity also inhibit their internal peace and poise…another vibration that inhibits abundance coming into your life.

Another major theme in the abundance workshops that carried over to weight loss success is the theme of limiting beliefs. When someone doesn’t believe they come from a family that can lose weight successfully, they don’t see themselves as a winner, and subsequently, sabotage their dieting efforts. In the same way, a client of mine who came from a family of “financial losers” never gave himself any credit for what he could do differently from generations of poor money managers. Often, people who have made one poor business decision become almost phobic about making other decisions. Every time they think about investing again or making a new decision, the memory of the past failure haunts them...much like the memory of regaining the weight the last time haunts an individual who starts a new diet or food plan. The feelings are the same, and I address them as follows:

Even though I’ll never be successful because my parents and grandparents weren’t, I accept who I am anyway…

Even though I come from a family of people who can’t do this successfully, I realize I am different and totally capable.

Even though I don’t believe in myself, I haven’t been successful before, I choose to believe in my abilities now.

Even though I remember what happened last time, I have decided to start new patterns for success.

Finally, a third common theme in my abundance work is treating comfort zones. When someone isn’t comfortable making $100,000 a year, they won’t be able to earn that amount with out balancing out the scales the next year. They have to earn less the following year to feel like themselves. The same is true for people losing weight. If they have always been and always see themselves as being 50 pounds overweight, who will they be when they reach their supposedly ideal body size? How will people react to them? What is their identity now? I handle these issues as follows:

Even though I’m not comfortable with my new income (in my new body) I deeply and completely love and accept myself as I am changing…

Even though I don’t recognize myself at this new salary range, I accept my feelings and fears no matter what.

Even though I don’t belong here, I’m more comfortable where I was…I love and accept my feelings and my life.

Even though I don’t recognize myself right now, I choose to feel more and more comfortable every day.

In Part 2 of this series is wonderful success story from an EFT practitioner who lost 52 pounds after attending my one day abundance workshop.
