Allergies, Sensitivities, and YOU!
Joy, what you say makes sense. It really does. From a lot of levels. The one I think some people don't realize is that you *can* be addicted to food things, and gluten is definitely one of them. Some…

Allergies, Sensitivities, and YOU!
What about surrogate tapping, Melodie? I have read about it, and thought about it, but so far only tried it on the cat. Lol. And she's not giving me much feedback.

And, Nili, you will have the most choices. You will probably do well with just about any protein, and a wide range of carbs. He really stresses in the book, that each type should have a protein with every meal or snack. Even carb types shouldn't hav…
After answering all 3 questionnaires I'm clearly a mixed type. This fits in with my experience of having distinct problems with carb only meals, no problems at all with protein only meals and doing best with well balanced carb. vs protein meals.
Quite extensive questionnaire. I'll do this one and see how it compares with the shorter one I took. Last time I was a little of everything so we'll see what the outcome is. Thanks Aimee.
Great!! Thanks Aimee. I'm going to check it right out.
Big News! Here is "the" quiz of all quizzes. My health hero and internet friend, Antonio Valladares, just sent out this link to his site, and the quiz, really a questionnaire, from William Wolcott, the man himself.

Aimee,
Thanks SO much for this post. It is so stimulating for me. Though my issues with weight loss are different from yours, the honestly of this post in inspiring.
Look at what power you gave to one little pound (loss). Clearly all these issues…

Well, today is weight day....two weeks gone. Surprisingly, I began having resistance about two days ago. I could feel it, the thoughts of "oh, I've blown it", "I feel fat or bloated", and just not wanting to weigh myself. When I tried tapping in my…
I hear what you are saying, Alice. I resisted the food diary at first, but as I went along, it developed into more of a planning tool than a record of the past. I made up a spreadsheet and everything (still have it if anyone wants it, but FitDay is…
Eat Right 4 Your Type is mentioned in the Bibliography on William Wolcott's page. :)
Ilana......in MT they refer to high, medium and low purine protein. Purine is the thing gout is blamed on. High purine proteins are organ meats like liver and heart. I feel great after one of those meals, lol. Next in line is dark meat chicken and o…

Funny Tapping Round
The other day, I needed to tap on my Pain Body. I found this idea in writings of Eckhart Tolle, and it fits and works for me. Basically, we all have a pain body, that part of us that "rears its ugly head" when we are in a bad mood, or angry, etc. It gives a name and a function to our negative emotions. He also offers good ideas about dealing with it and rendering it useless. It's so closely related to Nili's ideas of my saboteur that I deal with them together, and for me it's great to have EFT t… Continue

#281 I'm in Pain
Two days ago I listened and tapped along to Nili's "I'm in pain" newsletter. I really didn't have much pain when I started. As I checked around, there was a bit in my neck and shoulder and my hip and a finger I cut. Some of this pain, (neck, shoulder and hip) is so old and ongoing, I really have to look for it. I'm become used to it.
So, I started out at a 3, then got to a 1, then I called it .5, because my cut finger still hurt.
Then, Nili talked about stubborn pain and said to ask:

Results
Well, since I posted goals, there will be results. I'm only weighing every other week, so yesterday was not a weigh, but taking stock of the week by things other than numbers:
1. I met my goals 80%
2. I feel great
I did make better food choices, but I ate too much and some things that don't suit me on Thanksgiving. I did 5 workouts, 2 were kettlebells and 3 yoga, but I didn't drink as much water as I wanted. Overall I'm pleased.
My tapping has been good. I'm a bit behind with the newsletters… Continue

#275 The Joy of a Child
As Nili went through the five areas of our weight loss, I made notes...
1. Visualization: I put a star by this, meaning I need to do this, I know that, but I haven't been able to do it well at this point in my weightloss, which I know is a block.
2. Goal Setting: I drew a frown by this :( and put in a box "fear of failure." I find goal setting to be scary.
3. Eating plan: check
4. Exercise plan: check
5. EFT: check — I do enjoy the exploration and release.

About
Very Important Question
One of the most important questions you can ask is
“Does this suit my intentions?”
The word “this” refers to any choice you are making that affects your goals. In the store, when you have those cookies in your hand, ask yourself, “Does buying these suit my intentions?” If you are thinking of watching a movie rather than joining the EFT session, ask yourself “Does this choice suit my intentions?”
Let your higher self answer the question and make your best choice.
The more you ask the question, the more you will be guided by that smart voice that helps you maintain your commitment to yourself.

Gary Craig, EFT founder on what is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
is a method to release negative feelings naturally.
It is an emotional form of acupressure.
With your fingertips, you tap certain energy points on your body while you are "tuned in" to your problem.
Gary Craig, the founder of EFT:
"I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose, but I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will.
We are still learning why EFT works so well. It centers around the profound effects of the body's subtle energies using the theory that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. Accordingly, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem.
The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods."

Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to think that my ramblings might help someone else a bit. I made a promise to myself when I joined the group to be as honest and out there as I could be. There are a few things that I don't share but not many. It really helps me to do it, because if I'm telling lots of other people what I'm doing and how I'm feeling, it makes me stick at it and dedicate myself to improving myself. Always when I have tried to do it in the past, I've struggled on by myself for a few weeks and then just given in. Now I can't because I'm such a loud mouth here that I feel like I want to keep going. Plus lets face it, with all the fantastic people on this forum helping me out, it makes things easier. I read and enjoyed your blogs too.
I know all about having lost enough weight not to be really 'fat' any more but not really being at your optimum. I've been in that place for years (with a huge diversion off into the realms of enormousness whilst I was pregnant!) Time for us both to be brave and take those final steps. Hugs
It's so nice to see you here! You are most welcome to our little EFT world. I'm happy for you that you have begun doing EFT. Just wait until you feel all the good stuff it can do for you!
I will be happy and honored to help you in any way I can to reach your goals. You've done a lot of work already and I know you have it in you to unravel the rest of this puzzle. You have indeed chosen a winner, EFT, to help you get there.
Here is my welcome flower for you with my warm wishes!
A warm welcome to you! We look forward to helping you shed your extra fat and reach your other goals as well. I’m Dr. Nili’s co-administrator on this site and one of my jobs is to make sure you get your new member letters and sessions. We provide you with six special new member EFT sessions to get you started. After that you will receive the regular EFT sessions along with the other members.
I just sent you your first session. After you heard it once (or more times) post on your blog, (click on the blog tab, middle top of page, then on add a new blog, off to the right) how the first one was for you. That way you can get support from both Dr. Nili and me and others in the group. Also, if you have questions, others probably are wondering the same thing, so your post will help others too. All the way around this is a win-win situation. The sessions will continue to arrive every other day. To get the most out of this group, keep posting about your reactions & experiences to them. Also, reply to other posts that move you.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
