Archive for the ‘Let Go of Emotional Eating’ Category

If you have tried a zillion diets, sooner or later you are going to hit a wall!

Sometimes you just need some one-on-one hypnosis to keep you out of the cookie jar, or stopping at Starbucks.

It is really fun to be hypnotized  to not want to eat cookies, or chocolate, or candy.

However, the associations are usually so strong from years of repetitive experience that an upset like grief, a big change, or even a disturbing conversation, can sometimes send you back to your old comforting stand-by.

This is where EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is really helpful.

It is an effective way to PLAY with your thinking.

It is as though you have an entrenched stream of thought.

It can go like this: When I need a break, want to treat myself, I grab my favorite>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

With EFT, you can state the truth as you are tapping on your body, “Even though I say I want to be healthy, and not have this annoying fat on my body, I still want to eat this Snickers Bar, and have a Diet Coke. Even though I know I can’t keep doing this and feel great in my body, I TOTALLY love and accept myself.”

The power is in acknowledging the truth instead of staying in the fight. (Please read that sentence again!)

You have battling parts. One part wants to feel healthy and proud, and the other part wants what she wants, and to be left alone.

This is exhausting!

With hypnosis, you can be powerfully veered from this battle, but in my experience, EFT gives you another very useful tool. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE good tools!

This is my favorite example in my own life, and forgive me if you have heard this story before.

I did not want to pick up my high-school daughter from volleyball practice. She had been gnarly before school that morning and I had had a very busy day and I wanted to go home and not make ONE MORE STOP!

The owner of Husky’s Deli in West Seattle was on the radio, being interviewed about his family’s tradition of making ice cream.   When my girls were little, and we didn’t have a hectic schedule, we would wander in, order an ice cream cone and sit outside and enjoy it. It was fun, and I can see them trying to manage the cones and the ice cream in their little hands.

Well, suddenly all I could think of was ice cream. I could go to QFC and they had Dove bars on a stick and I could be late, and I started laughing.

What I really wanted was the leisure of NO SCHEDULE, thank you very much. The ice cream wasn’t going to change that!

At the next stop light, I did some EFT on myself. I drove right to the high school,  picked up my daughter, and made her a wonderful dinner.  I totally forgot about the ice cream until the following week when I was teaching, and I used it as an example.

Out minds are really interesting,and knowing yours is very useful.

In my practice and in my own life, I have found the combination of hypnosis and EFT to be an absolutely phenomenal combination for change.

Cake used to be such a problem for me, I should have worn a sign that said,

“DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAKE UNATTENDED.”

Now I can laugh and remember that my mind is powerful and that I can use it to stop my sugar cravings. You can too!

When they gave you your first coke,cookie or whatever, they didn’t warn you…..

SUGAR CAN BE ADDICTIVE

Sugar can be  harder than a crack addiction because it is everywhere….and it is socially acceptable.

Many of my clients, and probably you, don’t really want to give up sugar because it feels like you are going to miss some fun.

I know the feeling…….

However, I have discovered with a little hypnosis, you can dramatically decrease your desire for sweets, stop craving sugar, and you can increase your sensitivity so that many things begin to taste too sweet…

Do you avoid looking at your body in the mirror?

Recently I stood in front of the video camera and recorded myself with NO makeup!

When I watched it, I realized I really liked me. Yes, I have wrinkles, the camera adds a few pounds, but beyond that, I could see me.

I am wonderfully kind and earnest.

Can you see you?

Growing up I had a beloved, ballsy, and funny Aunt Eleanor.

She loved donuts,Tom Jones, and Pepsi.

She was way too young when she died of liver cancer.

One summer she lost fifty pounds. She ate a fudgesicle every day for lunch.

My aunt could not see herself.

A very funny guy, @TheEntertainer says,

“We are really all here in Human Suits.”

I trained myself to not look at my clients bodies, but rather to really see them. I noticed that as I did this, I began to see myself as well.

I am not my body and neither are you. If we were, we would take it with us when we leave here, and universally, we leave our bodies behind.

I assist you in rediscovering your own magnificence.

It has nothing to do with weight, money, lovers,cars, or the latest handbag (although you can desire and have any of that).

It really has to do with uncovering the magnificence that each of us has within us.

When you are attacking your body as not good enough, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS ENERGY ON THE WRONG THING!

It is like wanting to go to London from New York and looking for a car to make the trip.

You can try a new kind of tire, a car that floats, a way to get fuel. You can see this is insane and extremely inefficient. We need an airline ticket or a cruise ship.

Going on a diet to lose weight, so you can feel in control, and accept yourself, is like planning to get to London by car.

The airline ticket is changing your mind so you take care of yourself because you can. And you can because you want to. And you want to because you are pretty fricking awesome.

Start your journey today.

I want you to be able to look in the mirror and see that you are lovable.

Instead of Weight Watching, Try Minding Your Magnificence

Most of us have a few eating personalities.

Do you have an Inner Cereal Monster?

In my next Make Peace with Food and You class we will have a great time calling out our personalities, naming them, and the laughing very hard as we decide how to handle them.
