Master Food, Master YOU
Overcoming Emotional Eating and Self Sabotage
What’s your problem?
Let’s discuss:why we eat
immediate gratification vs. long-term gratification
What’s your problem?I eat too muchI eat the wrong thingsI eat when I’m not hungryI’m hungry all the timeI can’t stop thinking about foodI go all day without eating and then overeat at
nightI’ve failed so many times before, I’m sick of
tryingThere’s so much conflicting advice, I don’t
know what to doI love food and I hate exerciseHealthy foods are more expensive and less
convenient
What’s our problem?Diets don’t workStruggle is the opposite of freedomThe weight loss industry is built around
strugglePermanent, lasting weight loss often
comes with a strong will and acceptance of a life-time of struggle, is that how you want to live?
Think about someone you know that is naturally slim…do they talk or think about food? What do they say? Are they struggling?
It’s our thinking that needs to change before our behaviours can truly change.

What is the Emotional Freedom Technique?
Technique designed by founder Gary Craig to address emotional short circuits that prevent normal energy flow through out the body.
Based on the Eastern philosophy of acupuncture meridians.
1. The Setup...Repeat 3 times this affirmation:"Even though I have this_____ (i.e.sugar craving) ,I deeply and completely accept myself.“ while continuously rubbing the karate chop point.
2. The Sequence...Tap about 7 times on each of the following energy points while repeating the Reminder Phrase at each point (i.e. “this sugar craving”). EB-Eyebrow, SE-Side of Eye, UE- Under Eye, UN- Under Nose, UL-Under bottom lip, CB- Collar Bone, UA-Under Arm (sore spot), Th- Side of Thumb, IF- Index Finger, MF-Middle Finger, BF- Baby Finger, KC- ( also called the Karate Chop point, as it’s that spot on the hand that you would use for a Karate Chop).
The Basic Recipe
Note: In subsequent rounds The Setup affirmation and the Reminder Phrase are adjusted to reflect the fact that you are addressing the remaining problem.
EFT IN A NUTSHELLMemorize The Basic Recipe. Aim it at any emotional or physical problem by customizing it with an appropriate Setup affirmation and Reminder Phrase. Be specific where possible and aim EFT at the specific emotional events in one’s life that may underlie the problem. Where necessary, be persistent until all aspects of the problem have vanished. Try it on everything!!
Sample tapping phrases for weight issues
“Even though I’m a sugar addict, I love and accept myself completely”
“Even though I eat when I’m bored, I love and accept myself completely”
“Even though I believe I have to struggle to lose weight, I choose to believe it can be easy”
“Even though my sister (mother, friend, husband) will be upset with me if I lose weight, I deeply and completely love and accept myself completely.”
Using EFT for Food Cravings
EFT provides two remarkable benefits for weight loss that sets it apart from other methods:
Benefit #1 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Your Immediate Cravings: Using EFT for 1 or 2 minutes can arrest your cravings in an estimated 80% of the cases. Thus, you may no longer need to “eat when you are not hungry.” This feature surprises most newcomers.
Benefit #2 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Emotional Overeating: If you have been using food to “tranquilize” years of past emotional hurts, then you may find EFT to be your best friend. EFT can bring you more emotional peace which, in turn, can lead to more sensible eating habits. This emotional contributor, which EFT is designed to address, is the missing piece in most weight loss programs.”
-Gary Craig, inventor of EFT

resistance and struggle, knowing what is appropriate for your body isn’t as hard.
