A few weeks into my program, my clients have awareness over what's been driving their overeating (and also, some tips on when and what to eat to flip them into fat burning mode and out of fat storage mode).
We are now well into the CLEARING phase.
We typically start with clearing the nervous system. EFT (tapping) is a great tool for this when someone is too triggered emotionally to talk through something rationally.
We also use the NOW technique, to allow clients to feel and process their emotions safely without using food as a drug.
Remember when I said I have used food to address boredom and restlessness in the evenings?
Using these tools does the same thing for me as eating – it helps me feel better, but without the “moment on the lips, lifetime on the hips” effect.
Once we've settled in and worked through the emotions, the logical mind comes back on line.
Coaching is a great tool for the logical mind. Clients have great “ah-ha” moments and shifts.
But there are some things that are deeper than the conscious mind.
With weight, childhood issues, ancestor trauma, and past life events can also be running subconsciously and sabotaging our results.
I use ThetaHealing with clients to help bring these issues from the subconscious to the conscious mind so they can be worked through and cleared.
So you see, there's a bit more to it than just “eat less, exercise more”.
Yes, your behavior will shift. You might start walking. You might shift from mostly processed foods to mostly the foods your body was designed to use as fuel. You might feel less urgency around eating.
And you might even use a little willpower here and there, and put a bead in your urge jar instead of reaching for the snack (either way, you'll get the hit of dopamine your brain wants, but with the urge jar you break your overeating habit!).
But you won't be trying to white-knuckle it.
As my client Kate said, “weight loss doesn't have to involve suffering”.
Let's get started. Your time is now, and you are ready for the next step.
