So you’re probably wondering how the heck tapping on my face and talking to myself helped me lose weight, am I right?<\/p>

Trying to lose weight used to feel extremely difficult to me. I felt so much shame and discomfort just being in my chubby body as a kid, especially when so many other children around me implied that something was wrong with me.\u00a0<\/p>

I wasn\u2019t outright bullied when I was a kid (the serious bullying came when I was 14 and continued until the end of high school); it was more about being left out of groups of much thinner children. It was about not having many friends in school or neighbourhood (thank God I always enjoyed being on my own). It was about being the fattest kid at a summer sports camp. It was about being picked for a sports team in PE as one of the last ones, with eye rolls and groans that they had to have me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Honestly, do we still do that in PE? Let the team leads, aka the coolest kids, pick out all their favourites for their team? I hope not.<\/p>

I remember being 8 years old and writing in my first diary while on holiday by the sea: \u201cTomorrow I\u2019m quitting sugar and bread, and I am gonna start running on the beach. I need to lose weight.\u201d<\/p>

And I wasn\u2019t even actually fat! I was chubby, okay, but also due to the structure of my body, I had to grow into my bottom-heavy pear shape of wide hips and strong thighs.<\/p>

But these experiences left me with enough proof that there is something wrong with me and I identified it as being fat is what is wrong with me.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the role of the subconscious mind in weight loss?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The way that our subconscious minds work (based on my decades of interest & studying the subject, both research and more woo sources) is that until we are about 7 years old, everything that we experience and learn we take as gospel, absolute truth. We learn that these shaping experiences, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are the way to live in this world, and how we will survive.\u00a0<\/p>

So if I learned that I was considered fat, and being fat makes others dislike me, and makes me hate my body, that became my programming, the way I survive in this world. That became my lens (one of MANY) through which I looked at the world.\u00a0<\/p>

And us humans, we don\u2019t like to be wrong. So if I believed something, you damn sure can bet that I (unconsciously) looked for proof of it everywhere, and I screened every experience, comment, and look to prove my belief. And of course, I had to stay overweight, because this is who I am: a girl who is always trying to lose weight but failing, a girl who hates her body, a girl who punishes herself for how she looks.<\/p>

This is what \u201csafety\u201d was for me, so how could I possibly change it? Whenever I tried to do something to change my identity, become a person who works out regularly, doesn\u2019t overeat or indulge too much in treats, a person I\u2019ve never been before, for my brain and the unconscious mind, it was like, \u201cwe don\u2019t know this, this is new, we could die, abort, abort, get back to default mode, we must stay safe, we don\u2019t like where we are, but it keeps us alive!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019d get stressed, have a binge due to some emotional crisis, or wouldn\u2019t do my workout, then feel shame and be very critical of myself, which made me feel even worse about myself, so I engage in more sabotaging behaviour, and if I already screwed it up (the all-or-nothing thinking), then I may as well give up because I already RUINED all my progress, and because I am destined to be fat.<\/p>

Until a time when I felt so despicable about my body again that I tried to punish myself with a diet or crazy workout routine again, and then I self-sabotaged again. That vicious circle continued for over 20 years for me.<\/p>

I know, our subconscious isn\u2019t logical, but the thing is, it\u2019s doing the best it can to keep us alive. The lovely, silly subconscious, eh? Makes you understand why it\u2019s so hard to get out of the comfort zone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Okay, so you may understand a bit better how your subconscious is doing its best to keep you overweight to keep you safe, but still don\u2019t know how it\u2019s EFT that could help you?<\/p>

EFT helped me to realise that I can\u2019t sustainably look after the body that I hate, but that I can transform the body I love. It allowed me to stop being a bully and become an ally to my body.<\/p>

Since EFT works with emotions, and it\u2019s the emotional charge that strengthens the beliefs, when you create a safe space to feel and process your emotions, it\u2019s like you\u2019re dissolving the glue that keeps the beliefs fixed and creating space to start consciously shaping what you want to believe to be true about yourself and weight loss.<\/p>

You get to work through specific memories which hurt you so badly and convinced you that this is who you are ( \u201cthe fat girl\u201d, \u201cundeserving love\u201d, \u201cnot deserving respect\u201d, \u201cnever being chosen\u201d, \u201chealthy food is boring\u201d, \u201cchocolate is my only comfort\u201d, etc.).<\/p>

Through the process of tapping on these memories, you can process these painful feelings, gain tremendous insight and make peace with your past. This lowers resistance to change and creates space where it\u2019s so much easier to choose new thoughts and behaviours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
