How One Woman Overcame Her Late Night Sugar Cravings Using EFT
- by Tera Warner
I admit that when Rebecca Johnson, my new roommate, showed up at my door several weeks ago, I knew she was an “EFT Master” and expert, but I figured I had self-help tools coming out my nose, and wouldn’t need her healing techniques.
But then it happened…
I was sitting at the kitchen table, feeling like a total crust bag, when I boldly declared, ”Even though I feel like a total stress bag, I deeply and completely love myself anyway.” I was just sort of playing the part, and was making light of my mood, but before I knew what happened, Rebecca chimed in with some fancy phrases, and within minutes I was a pile of giggles and smiles.
The Crust Bag Had Left the Building!
I knew by having become dear friends with Carol Look, that EFT worked, but I just wasn’t using it on a regular basis. Every time I get on the phone with Carol, my energy and enthusiasm would sky-rocket. The worry and weight on my shoulders just disappeared after a few rounds of “tapping.”
Now, with Rebecca around, I had even more proof. I was starting to tap and “love myself anyway” for just about anything that would come up and cause me to feel stressed out, worried or uncertain!
A few weeks ago, I was on a call with our 21-Day Green Smoothie Detox participants, and shared with them the story I just told you. I asked if anyone was willing to go deep in an EFT session with Rebecca one on one, and share it with our entire community.
Linda’s Struggle With Late Night Sugar Cravings
Linda, one of our lovely 21-Day Green Smoothie Detox participants bravely offered to put herself out there on our virtual stage for a complementary EFT session with Rebecca. Linda relayed the following details about her struggle with food:
“For years I have had cravings towards sweets and complex carbs (healthy sweets, like dates, chocolate avocado mousse, 12 grain bread) mainly in the evening.
These are the foods that sabotage me especially after 8 pm at night. Heaven forbid my grown children should bring home Girls Scout cookies or Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Once I see it I want it…it’s like the treat is calling out my name. Horrors!
I succumb, knowing full well why I shouldn’t indulge...and feel disgusted with myself afterwards. I bet this even contributes to my hormonal imbalance. So how would you classify this struggle? Sweets cravings with no will power even though I know better? For heaven sakes I often teach classes on “How to make Green Smoothies” and how to improve your diet.”
Rebecca and Linda hooked up and recorded a powerful session of EFT, and this call will give you a chance to see what happens when you go deep with EFT in a one-on-one session:

In this session you will hear Linda go through the challenge of really getting clear on the emotions she felt in her body before she gave in to a temptation to eat something she did not really want to be eating. Then you will hear how the process of EFT helped Linda discover a very surprising reason why she was eating things she really did not want to be eating!
Everything Changed After Just One Session of EFT
After their session Linda sent Rebecca the following email:
Rebecca,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the opportunity to work with you last night on the EFT call. WOW…I am really having a shift in my way of thinking about food and other things in my life because of our session.
EFT is very powerful and I am anxious to learn more and seek more breakthroughs.
Thanks again for your gift of giving me an EFT session. Do you know when this call will be aired. I would appreciate being able to listen to it so I can benefit even further.
Blessings to you as you share your wisdom and passion in helping people seek real freedom and change.
I’ve invited Rebecca to share another one-on-one EFT session with participants of our Body Enlightenment program. Right now there is a fabulous group of participants just starting up. We will publish this call on the blog, for all to see, but in the meantime, watch for tomorrow’s blog post when we’ll be sharing some tips and steps to help you tap away your cravings and food cravings in the blink of an eye yourself!
What About You?
If you could settle in for a one-on-one EFT session with Rebecca, what would you tap away in the blink of an eye? Let us know and you could win a FREE one-on-one session with Rebecca as part of our upcoming Communication Cleanse!

I would love to see how EFT could work to address cyclical lapses into depression, insomnia and binge eating. I just began the body enlightenment program and in two weeks I’m about to lead my four roommates on a month of eating raw which we’ll be making a documentary about! As all of them are transitioning from a very standard American Diet, I’d love to use EFT to make sure that I am about my very strongest and freest to encourage them along the way!

Oh goodness I have been on the road to veganism for 2 months now and it has been amazing. However, I do so well all day but when prime time rolls around it’s like I become possesed by a ravenous sugar craving beast. It doesn’t make sense and I want to so I can tap it away.

I can really relate to Linda’s situation of being a “role model” for healthy eating, and wondering where the late night sugar cravings come in. I have been having the same issue.
I would be very grateful for an opportunity to use EFT to control these cravings, and determine what is driving me.
I understand that I am looking to satisfy something, I am using food to do it, and, when the food doesn’t work I continue to feed it, because the need is still there.
Could EFT really help me to identify what it is I’m searching for/what need I am looking to satisfy, realize that food/sweets isn’t the answer (I think I’ve already accomplished that part
) and control the over consumption sugar in my misguided attempt to find whatever it is I am looking for?
I hope so, and I hope I get the chance to participate. Thank you!

Wow, I’m in the same boat. Love natural foods, want to go all raw, am an inspiration for others… etc. but still struggle with sweets. Even healthy sweets, but still foods that I often feel bring me down, or just too much date, nut balls.
Every time I tell myself I will eat in a more balance way, but then lose myself somewhere in the middle and eat too much.
Until I feel it is is hopless. I am very grateful for whatever healthy herbs and greens I add in to my diet, but sometimes I just feel like giving up, like I’ll never really get to where I want to be, because of my issue with overeating sweet heavy foods, even the healthier kinds.
It feels like a kind of insanity, sometimes i comfort myself, when I look at how far I came compared to how I ate two years ago, and I just hope and pray that the time will come when I will be able to overcome this hurdle as well. Until then, maybe EFT would be the key?

Lizzy,
I highly recommend you listen to the session with Linda and tap along and see what comes up for you. Doing the emotional work to understand what you are really craving is powerful and it a huge key to success!

If I could clear away my anxiety that has taken hold of my life that is what I would do. I find myself just lost and frozen and unable to move forward in any direction. I unemployed, single, out of shape, overweight and am trying to keep from being homeless. Can EFT help me calm down and figure out a way forward?

I am a massage therapist and I have an imbalanced hip-spine,and leg length discrepancy I have been getting work done through chiropractic and massage. There is much improvement but still some deep around the femur head siteaded in the hips and surrounding tissue that won’t let go! I know that there is some emotional aspect but not sure how to address it through EFT. I use EFT after sessions with the chiropractor to keep the adjustments he makes. I see this in many clients too whose illiums are out of place and then the leg length is uneven and moves to lumbar low back region! Can specific EFT help me so I can help others!

Laura,
You can use EFT for specific issues in the physical body. Here is one example of using EFT for back pain relief. http://www.squidoo.com/back-pain-eft
One-on-one sessions with a qualified practitioner are the most powerful way to address your own unique physical irregularities. Many massage therapists use EFT in combination with body work to help their clients and it it s powerful combination. If you are interested Contact me at Rebecca@terawarner.com to find out more and explore the possibility of learning how to use it in this way. I hope this is helpful!

I would love to use EFT to let go of my overeating and stretched out belly! After three pregnancies, its time to get a handle on the belly handle, and I know I eat too much. I work from home and though I eat mostly raw, I still eat way too much and too much sweets! I’d also love To let go of using food as a way to fight tiredness or instead of real heart to heart connecting to those I love! Then there is the fear of missing out on good food. I know its stress about balancing, my husband being happy with the cleanliness and food situation and my own fear of not being good enough or having answers that drives me to eat!

Hello dear Tera, my ‘sugar’ craving is wine! in the evening. I know I feel better without it, clear and clean and happy, and otherwise I eat green smoothies and love wholefoods and all that, so I don’t understand it and I would love to be free. Love X
