Using EFT for weight loss often involves some introspection.

This week’s post is a question from a reader. Judy writes “Yesterday I heard myself say that I was bound to keep gaining, that weight only really goes up. Even though I had said it as a joke (and only to myself), I felt that zing of truth. I really feel that is true. I started tapping immediately but the belief is not down to 0 yet. I’m looking for core issues without success. Any advice?”

Hey Judy – You did a lot of things right –

1. You caught yourself with a sabotaging belief. Even if you said it as a joke, it’s at least part of your belief system.

2. You started using EFT right away – that’s great if you can tap in the moment, while you are having those feelings – and there are feelings attached to that belief.

3. You realize that there’s probably a core issue that you haven’t identified yet.

One of the best ways to find the core issue is to identify the feelings – are you feeling frustrated, hopeless, like nothing you do is going to help? Or how would you describe the feelings? Use your own words.

Then ask yourself – what does that remind you of?

Tap on that experience or memory, EVEN if it doesn’t seem related to what you are experiencing now. Because there’s probably 1 or more events that occurred that are causing you to feel as you do now.

What conclusions are you drawing from these events? What are you making this mean?

One thing may lead to another. But go ahead and get started – you’ve got work to do!
