Nervous Eating — Is This You?

Do you engage in nervous eating without even realizing it? Do you see food in front of you and eat it without even thinking? And then regret it later! If so, here’s a tapping script that can help you pay more attention to when you engage in nervous eating.

If you’ve never tapped before, please download my Quick Start Guide first and find out how to tap. Just go to: http://makingweightlosseasy.com/index.php/quick-start-guide-2/

Give this challenge a SUD level: How strong is your tendency to turn to food when you’re nervous? Then let’s start tapping at the side of hand point.

Even though eating helps me feel more relaxed when I’m nervous, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I eat first and think second, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I eat unconsciously when I’m nervous, I accept who I am and how I feel.

Top of Head: This nervous eating.

Inside the Eye: I don’t even realize I’m nervous.

Outside the Eye: The food is there and then it’s gone.

Under the Eye: Later I regret it.

Under the Nose: I don’t feel so good later on.

Under the Mouth: I don’t even realize what I’m doing.

Collarbone: I haven’t connected eating with feeling nervous.

Underarm: This unconscious nervous eating.

Top of Head: I’m attracted to foods that don’t agree with me when I feel nervous.

Inside the Eye: I focus on the food and not the emotions.

Outside the Eye: If I realized I was nervous I could focus on that.

Under the Eye: I’m used to covering my emotions with food.

Under the Nose: Food helps me relax.

Under the Mouth: It’s a great comfort after a stressful day.

Underarm: It’s a great comfort when I’m nervous about something.

KEEP TAPPING THE SAME THING FOR SEVERAL ROUNDS. WHEN YOUR SUD LEVEL HAS DROPPED AND YOU ARE FEELING BETTER ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE, THEN GO ON TO THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE.

Top of Head: What if I paid more attention when I get nervous?

Under the Eye: When I’m nervous there are other things I can do besides eat.

Under the Nose: I’d rather feel nervous then eat food I don’t need.

Under the Mouth: What else can I do when I get nervous besides eat?

Collarbone: I can always tap and practice breath awareness.

Underarm: I choose to be with my emotions and see where it leads me.

Also write down whatever comes up for you when you tap, and also tap on that.
