Diet Soda, Weight Gain and Emotional Freedom Technique

Peo­ple who only know me through spir­i­tual– or healing-oriented groups are often shocked to learn of my diet.  I love fast food.  I wish I didn’t, my heart and back­side wish I didn’t, my doc­tor wishes I didn’t — but I do. 

I went to McDonald’s reg­u­larly grow­ing up — either while on tours with my sports team (ironic, eh?) or when I would some­times have fast food three times a day in high school (no, my mom didn’t real­ize or I’m sure she would have said some­thing.)  There are times that it seems as if I’m liv­ing inside my own per­sonal edi­tion of “Super Size Me”.  Yes, I know, REALLY bad plan. (If you haven’t see the film, down­load it for free here. It’s well worth the watch.)

Part of my fast food addic­tion has been to soda (or pop, if you’re from one of the “pop” parts of the world.)  Espe­cially to McDonald’s Diet Coke.  I don’t know how or why it’s dif­fer­ent, but… It’s. The. Best.

So, fel­low MM Angelina, hor­ri­fied at what I con­tinue to put into my body, sent me this arti­cle: “Are Diet Sodas Mak­ing You Fat?”.  I’ve con­ve­niently ignored all of the warn­ings about how bad arti­fi­cial sweet­ner is for my body, but start talk­ing about weight gain?  Now you’ve got my atten­tion.  (Hey, points for hon­esty here, right?) 

If you’re like me, I highly rec­om­mend that you read it.  If you’re like Angelina - with a friend like me - I encour­age you to send this arti­cle to that per­son that you care about the same way that she did — no preach­ing, just the info.

After the amaz­ing stats about how much fat­ter we diet soda-drinkers are (with all other things being equal) came a sug­ges­tion that really made me perk up: EFT for soda addic­tion.  Now, it’s not a sur­prise that I could use EFT (Emo­tional Free­dom Tech­nique, or “tap­ping”) to clear my draw toward fast food and soda, I just hadn’t  put it on my men­tal front-burner. 

So here’s my com­mit­ment to you — I’m going to use EFT to CLEAR my fast food and soda addic­tion and get back to you.  I’m tempted to not post this until I’ve done it so that I can share the results in the same post, but I know that the fast food/soda-loving part of me would find a way to con­ve­niently “for­get” to fol­low through.  (Not pretty, but I’m just keepin’ it real.)

Until next time, when I’ll be back with results…
