Have you tapped yourself yet?

Have y'all been watching Paul McKenna on the Learning Channel, the "I Can Make You Thin" guy? I watched the show Sunday night and he was telling us how to stop craving certain things (for me, it's the cheese & crackers in the breakroom). You're supposed to tap certain places on your body (acupuncture zones), hum a tune, and roll your eyes around. I was really craving those crackers and it's only half an hour before lunch, so I tried it, and it actually worked. Maybe it's just my feeble mind wanting to believe it, and I was hoping nobody would walk in my office and catch me humming Dixie and rolling my eyes around and beating on myself, but I did it for 3 or 4 minutes and I don't want the crackers anymore. Anybody else tried it? http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/make-you-thin/make-you-thin.html

LOL Nope but I would pay money to watch you do it Wanda :P I am glad it is working though :) hehehehe HUGS PK

I have tried it in the past with some success, but have never carried it on.  The proper name for this technique is thought field therapy.  Sounds hokey but I think it has some research backing it. 

Tee hee... I thought you'd misspelled "taped" :-)  I am recording this show on my DVR, but have yet to watch it.  I did see him on Ellen doing the tapping thing...  Thanks for sharing your personal experience with it... now I may actually give it a try :)

sounds interesting, will have to keep that in mind next time a craving hits good luck, jacki

You mean I could have tapped myself down 105#'s without having my guts re-routed?  This show drives me NUTS!!! Cindy

Wanda, I am watching & taping each episode.  (I am struggling  so much w/ my re-gain that I figure it can't hurt!)  With that said, I have to admit that I haven't even tried the tapping technique--how's that for laziness??    I'm glad  you thought it helped; now I will have to get out my little sheet of paper where I wrote down the tapping sequence! Last Sunday's episode--negative associations attached to a food craving--honestly, that just doesn't help me.  I have read that technique many times, and my imagination (or "suggestibility") just isn't strong enough to "believe" it--certainly not enough to deter me from wanting/eating the food.   I am just really in a blue funk lately--very discouraged that I have tried over & over since Christmas to re-commit (more than just a week!) to losing my re-gain, and after getting a good start and losing some initial weight, I just cave in and within a few days am right back where I started.  Except mentally worse.   So I'm glad to hear that there is someone else watching this TV series & trying the techniques!
