How to stop comfort eating
Well Paul McKenna says that an American psychologist has developed a tapping routine that allows you to stop comfort eating. So I’ll give it a go.
First you tap the side of your cheak with your index and middle finger - maybe 10 times (doesn’t matter which side).
Then you tap your collar bone a few times (on the same side of your body)
Then you go back to tapping your cheak a few times (on the same side)
Then you tap the back of your hand (on the same side), and then the side of your hand below your little finger (on the same side).
Keep tapping the side of your hand and close your eyes for a moment, then open them again. Then you look down to the right, then down to the left, then take your eyes in a big circle all the way around keeping your head still. Then circle your eyes back around in the opposite direction.
Don’t forget to keep tapping the side of your hand all the time.
Then hum a little tune for a few moments, then count out loud from 1 to 5, then hum the tune again for a few moments. Then tap your cheak again for a few times.
You might have to repeat this sequence 7-10 times, but when you’ve finished you should be able to resist the urge to comfort eat.
I dunno if it’s works - I haven’t had the desire to comfort eat yet. Well possibly I have but I’ve been allowed whatever food it is within my WW points allowance for the day so I don’t regard it as comfort eating - simply as eating my daily quota.
