Sue’s Story

Through following the Tap Yourself Slim programme I’ve learned a huge amount
about myself & why I was overeating and how to overcome those triggers.

Before joining the programme I suffered from poor self-image, lethargy/tiredness, lack of motivation and obviously excess weight mainly through eating too many carbs especially in the evening. I am 56 and my BMI was just into the obese range, which horrified me. I needed/wanted to lose 2.5 to 3 stone.

I first met Linda at a couple of Mind Body Spirit fairs and was attracted to the idea as I have used EFT at a basic level for some time and knew that it works, but I felt I needed to learn much more about the words used.

After the first session I stopped wanting chocolate! I lost weight very slowly for the first few weeks (about 1lb per week) although I did lose inches due to taking more exercise. As EFT helped me work through my personal “issues” I became much more focused and enthusiastic about losing weight and becoming more healthy and with one week to go I know I will have lost over a stone by the end of the course.

Linda creates an atmosphere which makes it easier to talk about personal challenges and issues and everyone in our group has managed to open up, which I am sure is a great help with stopping comfort eating as well as general wellbeing.

I have generally learned a lot about myself and why I do the things I do. I am much kinder to myself and find that others respond to that. I have made new friends and would like to learn more about EFT as a therapy in general.

If anyone is a little sceptical about this unusual way to lose weight I would say “don’t knock it till you’ve tried it”. TYS is a tool for life and deals with why you find it difficult to lose weight. Most of us know what to eat to be slim and healthy, we need the tools to make that easy to do and TYS is the best I have come across.

I found Linda to be very calm and intuitive. She has a way of picking up on what we are doing “wrong” and feeding it back to us in a very gentle and positive way so that we can work on it during the personal tapping time. She instils confidence and encourages openness.

The content worked very well for me. I did wonder whether it might be good to have a 2 week gap between wks 9 and 10 to see how we get on without the class and to give a chance for more “yes buts” etc to be raised, but I do recognise that could make scheduling awkward.

Looking forward to next Tuesday but sort of sad it’s the last one.
