Now tap along with me, starting on your karate-chop point, and say this out loud.

Now take a nice, deep breath. Tune back into that food and reassess your degree of craving for it. Your number has probably gone down quite a lot.

If your number is still high, think back to childhood events that involve the food. Maybe you used to eat that salty food on family picnics. Maybe you’d eat that food with friends. Maybe there was a special person in your life who liked that food and introduced you to that food.

Whatever the emotional events around that food, tap on them one by one. You’re very likely to find that the craving goes away.
