In the last blog on goal setting, we talked about the two reasons why people fail at reaching their goals – especially weight loss goals.  They were giving in to cravings and emotional eating.  I introduced EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) as the fastest, easiest and most effective way to eliminate both of these setbacks in weight loss.  And I promised to share my experience with breaking my chocolate addiction.

I am a Stress Relief Coach and often put on seminars where I teach people how to eliminate their stress, using EFT.  After teaching the basics, I will ask for volunteers to help me demonstrate how effective EFT is for so many different problems. 

I always like to use chocolate as an example of an addiction, because it was mine and I knew how people felt around chocolate.  When my life was stressful I would turn to chocolate. I craved the richness and comfort that eating chocolate gave me. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I would eat the whole thing.

I never deliberately used EFT for my own chocolate addiction but when I starting using chocolate as a demonstration in the seminars, I would tap along  with eveyone else - using some of my own reasons for why people eat chocolate. And you know what? I worked for me, even though I wasn’t concentrating on my own reasons for eating chocolate.

I work as a nurse part time in a nursing home in Abbotsford, B.C.  and Christmas is the worst time for chocolate as all of the resident’s families give chocolates to the nursing staff.  At one time there were ten boxes of chocolates at the nursing station. As well, our family had five boxes of chocolates given to us.  Talk about temptation!

Before EFT, I would have eaten most of the chocolates.  But I didn’t have even one!  And it wasn’t because I was being strong or disciplined.  I just didn’t want them.  Now, that is the way to diet!  There is no diet.

I just don’t have the craving any more! Is there an addiction that you would like to get rid of? Cigarettes? Alcohol? Drugs? Gambling? Whatever? With EFT, you can be free of the addiction Forever – Guaranteed!

In the next and final blog on this series of goal setting, I will introduce the final success key.
