Blocked energy channels in the body often show up as negative emotions- in this case anger. Long-term or unresolved anger may lead you to soothe yourself with food and result in unwanted weight. EFT helps restore your flow of energy and release your excess anger or other troubling emotions.

These two audio sessions are designed to help you release the resistance of unnecessary self-directed anger.

From the list on the Introduction page you chose statement #3 “I’m angry because …I could wake up thin tomorrow, but I would still have to work to maintain my weight.”

Back to EFT for Anger & Weight List

Begin by assessing how you feel about this statement.

On a scale of 0-10 with 0 being no feeling at all and 10 being the worst this feeling has ever been, where do find yourself now?
Please jot the number down now. _____

Tap Map

Begin now by tapping the Karate Chop point on the side of your hand continuously and say the following statements out loud.

“Even though I’m angry because I could wake up thin tomorrow, but I would still have to work to maintain my weight, but I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I’m sick and tired of worrying about my weight, and it feels like a lost cause, but I still deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though being thin is way too much work, and I feel defeated by my weight, I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: it doesn’t matter how hard I work at being thin
Side of Eye: even if I get to my goal, the struggle won’t be over
Under Eye: I wish I could just relax about my weight
Under Nose: I wish I could be happy the way I am
Chin: I’m tired of worrying about weight
Collarbone: I feel defeated
Under Arm: it feels like a lost cause
Top of Head: being thin is way too much work

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to accept my weight and my body 100% now
Side of Eye: I choose to love my body as it is right now
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from struggling with my weight
Under Nose: I choose to appreciate my body
Chin: I choose to feel peaceful about my weight
Collarbone: I choose to appreciate my body in every way
Under Arm: I choose to release my hopelessness
Top of Head: I choose to release all shame & blame about my weight and my body

* Take a deep breath
* Sip some water
*Write down your intensity #__________

Notice any changes in your perception or awareness of the problem. Does it seem more intense? More distant? Stronger or weaker? More important or less important? Do you sense relief or a releasing of something?

Notice changes in your body. Does any part of your body hurt or feel better than it did before this round of tapping? Do you feel more relaxed? Are there any new sensations like tingling? A gentle calmness? Numbness? Warmth? Nausea or a calming in the stomach? Vision changes? Changes in your breathing? A lighter or heavier feeling?

If your changes are positive and your intensity has dropped to 0 or 1, it’s likely that you have resolved this issue because the blocked energy has been released.

If you are not at a 0 or 1, it means you still have some intensity around this issue or some aspect of it, and more EFT rounds will be needed to clear it from your energy channels. In this case, move on to Round 2.

Round 2

Acceptance is key in releasing anger. It is only by giving up your resistance to loving yourself and learning to accept every part of yourself that the healing truly begins. EFT helps this take place in a gentle and natural way.

“Even though I feel hopeless and helpless to lose weight and keep it off, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I’m too exhausted to continue fighting this weight battle, and I know I won’t win anyway, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I feel hopeless when it comes to my weight and my body shape, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I’m sick of the weight battle
Side of Eye: it’s too hopeless
Under Eye: I don’t want to accept myself the way I am, but I guess I have to
Under Nose: I’m not strong enough
Chin: I feel hopeless and helpless
Collarbone: I feel overwhelmed at the thought of trying to change
Under Arm: it’s not worth the effort
Top of Head: I’m not worth the effort

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to let go of the overwhelm
Side of Eye: I choose to release this lost-cause feeling
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from the fear of change
Under Nose: I choose to empower myself to make new choices
Chin: I choose to feel a glimmer of hope that I can change
Collarbone: I choose to begin releasing my self doubts
Under Arm: I choose to accept every part of myself now, including my fat cells
Top of Head: I choose to make peace with my weight now

* Take a deep breath
* Sip some water
*Write down your intensity #__________

Notice any changes in your perception or awareness of the problem and jot these down. Did any memories show up? Did any pictures form in your mind as you were tapping?

Now, use what you wrote down to decide what to tap on next. Create a new “Even though…” set up statement about your thoughts and any changes you experienced, then continue tapping in the same EFT sequence as the last two rounds.

Be aware of changes in the issue itself. For example, if you originally rated your anger about having to maintain your weight loss at an 8, and now it’s more like a 3, look for a shift into a new aspect of the problem.

You may have moved from anger in Round 1 over to sadness and resignation as in Round 2. But now you’re beginning to notice feelings of fear about losing weight. You can now use EFT to discover the cause of the fear and release it. Your next set up statement could be something like this:

"Even though I feel fearful about losing weight because the last time I was thin___________ happened, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

OR

“Even though I’m afraid to be thin again because I won’t fit in with my heavy friends anymore, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

Be very expressive in your next EFT rounds and even let your set up statements be long and rambling. Put as much feeling into your words as possible because this is what changes your energy patterns.

Trust your instincts and follow your intuition. Like most anything, you will get better and better at this the more you do it.
