weight and gaining body confidence was never about the fat. It was always about how we chose to see ourselves and stand up in the world.
There is great power in awareness, in that moment when we get honest with ourselves and can suddenly see things more clearly. But awareness alone is often not enough. We may know consciously what is holding us back but still experience a disconnect between our thoughts and actions. That is where tapping comes in. I continue to be amazed by the results it produces, not just in me but in the hundreds of thousands of lives we have been honored to touch through our movie, The Tapping Solution , our online programs, and the annual Tapping World Summit.
I wasted a lot of time complaining that I had “tried everything” and “nothing works for me.” The one thing I hadn’t tried was loving and approving of myself. Tapping made that possible, and what followed were incredible results in my body and life.
About This Book
When I was first asked to write this book, I sat on my kitchen floor and sobbed. I felt panicked by the idea of sharing my journey in such a public way. I also didn’t want to be seen as part of the weight loss industry, which, in too many cases, has profited from making women feel bad about themselves. That’s not who I am, and that’s not the career I want.
The reason I eventually agreed to write it was that I knew that what I wanted to share wasn’t what you find in a standard weight loss book. I don’t believe in dieting, and I have no exercise plan for you to follow. Instead, I wanted to take women through the same journey of self-discovery and exploration that I took, and that I have guided thousands of clients and students on as well.
While the term “weight loss” is in the title of this book and my online course, the truth is that—provided weight isn’t interfering with your health—I’m not that concerned with weight for its own sake. For me, weight loss is a happy side effect of loving yourself more and feeling more powerful and beautiful in your own body. That is what I truly hope women experience from embarking on this journey, because when you feel those things, your entire life opens up. Suddenly, your internal and external realities shift in amazing and inspiring ways, and your dreams begin turning into your reality.
What’s funny is that while weight loss is never my top priority, the pounds come off anyway, and very consistently, over and over again in my students and clients. That’s really the magic of this process. By using this incredibly powerful tool—tapping—to clear stress and limiting emotions and beliefs, you can very quickly get in touch with what you and your body actually need. You can then put more focus on your emotions and your relationship with your body, and less focus on actual weight loss. As ironic as it may sound, that is when my clients and students are able to lose the weight and keep it off in a way that feels natural, even effortless.
While the weight loss is amazing, what excites me most is seeing the shift in how women feel and how they begin to live their lives. Before even losing the weight, women stop hiding; they fall in love with themselves and make great strides in their relationships and their careers; they celebrate their beauty, not just because of a number they see on the scale or in their closets, but because they feel beautiful.
As you may have already guessed, the process I share in this book is tailored specifically to women. While tapping is effective for weight loss in both genders, women have a unique experience with weight and body confidence.
I created the methods in this book for my students, and I’ve learned a lot through teaching them and interacting with them as they work their way through the process. I’ve tried to address some of their most common questions and issues throughout the book. Here’s a quick look at what you’ll learn as you work your way through the pages.
