EFT Food Craving Success Story

"My gratitude today (in multitudes!) goes to Kathy Atkinson. In response to my query about EFT experiences, she graciously invited me to participate in a teleconference EFT session dealing with food additions.

My unhealthy passion and my focus for the night, was chocolate. I loved it, ate it every day, and often stopped on my way home from work for 2-3 candy bars. I couldn't NOT eat chocolate. But when I ate to excess, it hurt my stomach and I've gained 20 pounds over the last 2 years, from chocolate and assorted "sweets".

We did only a few rounds of EFT guided by Kathy and at the end, I had no interest in the piece of chocolate sitting in front of me. I smelled it, even tasted a small piece and still, no desire for it. I've been chocolate-free for nearly a week now - a miracle. I've had opportunities to eat it or buy it, but didn't want to. And I didn't need to talk myself out of it; it wasn't an issue.

After the chocolate session, Kathy generously offered to do 2 rounds of EFT on sugar, and that craving too, is gone. I've been able to start and stay with a new eating plan this week that has been relatively easy, due to the absence of past cravings. I'm on my way to finally losing that 20 lbs. You're the best, Kathy!"            Sandy B.

Update

"I'm just ending week three of my diet. The ending of week three has, in the past, been the time when I "fall off the wagon" because of craving chocolate or some other sugar food. So far, I don't have any cravings or feel in a state of deprivation, thanks to EFT. I've gained and lost these 20 lbs. more than once in my lifetime, but never without a mental struggle. It's been an easy two weeks. Thanks, again." Sandy B.

Update

"Kathy -- I'm so happy to have reached my goal weight! Honestly, I don't think I would have gotten here, if not for your EFT intervention for my chocolate cravings. I had the desire and perseverance, but my need for chocolate was pretty powerful and had always sabotaged me in the past. I spent 6 years trying to get rid of the extra 20 pounds. Many thanks, for your help."                                                       Sandy 

Uncovering Issues Using EFT 

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a wonderful process for uncovering issues that negatively affect who we are and how we interact in the world. One innocent (or not so innocent) comment made at the wrong time, in the wrong place can have enormous influence over our lives. Below are some clients’ stories to illustrate this point. I have changed their names to protect their privacy.

Obsessive Cleaning

Jan recounted the story of a very close friend who died unexpectedly from an illness. This friend happened to be pregnant at the time, so Jan was naturally emotionally distraught when her friend passed away. Her friend had two little girls at the time, so Jan volunteered to help out with the girls while the funeral preparations were being made.

During this highly emotional time, Jan heard someone say that if her friend had been cleaner or taken better care of things around the house, maybe she wouldn’t have gotten sick. From that one comment, Jan subconsciously linked being dirty with being sick and perhaps even dying. She then developed some obsessive behaviors around cleaning.

We used EFT to eliminate the remaining emotional trauma around that incident and we also unlinked the connection she’d made between dirty and dying.

Abuse of Power

Tom experienced physical and emotional abuse as a child from people whom he considered authority figures. As an adult, Tom had difficulty asking for what he wanted because he viewed this as abusing his power and authority. He was afraid of hurting someone, like he was hurt as a child.

We used EFT to address the specific incidents Tom could remember from his childhood and eliminated the emotional charge around them. We then reinforced the idea that it is alright to ask for what he wants and that he is a kind and caring person.

Time for a New Trigger

Sarah Preston was married to a man whose family had come to expect bad things to happen to them just because “that’s what happens to the Prestons”. Every time some misfortune would come their way, someone would say, “What’s my name? Preston.” They kept this crazy belief alive every chance they could. Sarah was having that belief re-enforced on a regular basis just because she had married into this family.

We used EFT to eliminate the emotional reaction Sarah had every time her husband’s family said this and we also created a new trigger for her. “Every time I hear the word Preston, I think Success.”  

Much $uccess,
