Releasing weight with or without EFT can be really frustrating. Even when you are doing everything right, the body sometimes says "NO."
There can be a lot of reasons for this stuckness. You may be sabotaging your weight loss unintentionally by eating "just enough" to prevent you from losing weight.
You may be fooling yourself about how much you are eating, or how little you are exercising. You may need to get off sugar.
Or something about being thin may not feel "safe." Part of you is rebelling against your own good intentions.
Whatever the reason, persistent tapping may be required to counteract frustrating and discouraging feelings. The "reasons" will probably reveal themselves spontaneously when you tap. Then you can tap on those directly.
And don't worry if they don't make logical sense. Emotions are not logical! Here's a few statements to help you get unstuck and stay motivated:
Even though I feel stuck, I love and accept myself completely.
Even though I'm really stuck, I love and believe in myself.
Even though I'm stuck, I give myself permission to release this weight.
Sometimes I like to alternate negative statements with positive, affirming statements:
Feeling stuck
I love and accept myself
This stuck feeling
I love and believe in myself
I'm so discouraged!
I love and believe in myself completely
I feel so stuck!
I give myself permission to release this weight
Tap In the positive:
I love and believe in myself
I release all doubt and fear
I give myself permission to lose this weight
I can handle whatever comes, even though my life may change
I deserve to release this weight
I am grateful for releasing this weight
I am fully capable of releasing this weight
I love and believe in myself completely


Fantastic sea gull picture and article that gave me the reminder that we all need to take action to do our own thing even when the world is seemingly telling us "No!" And the pictures of your brave husband were priceless. What a guy! I stopped and tapped your phrases, and my anxiety level was immediately diminished. Incredible! Keep up the great resources that have enlightened my life!
