“I have found that when a negative body image is released, many women are able to approach weight loss from an entirely different perspective. Cravings, binges and emotional eating diminish and eating becomes more natural and has so much less judgement.”

“…the vicious cycle of dieting (and then of course binging that MUST come next after food restriction, that is the rule with brain chemistry and our physiology) often begins I think from a negative self image… Finding where that negative self image took root and releasing the emotional charge however is the key.”

“Truly any negative belief about ourselves or emotional stress that we experience can create limits in every significant area of our lives from finances to relationships to health. They all over-lap in interesting ways.”

“What has been your truth about eating and drinking during the National Eating Season? If you can get in touch with why you have been overeating, and clear it with tapping, you can go through this winter (not to mention the rest of your life) without gaining weight.”

Several of my clients were able to stop the constant need to diet or food restrict after clearing a pre-teen incident where body hatred began.

That is why all the intellectual reasons we give ourselves why we should ‘know better’ don’t work. We have to pull out those thorns that still make us hurt deep down.”
