How The 'Dessert Girl' Deserted Sugar
'For about the last ten years I had an addition: Sugar. Everyone in my family knew that when Thanksgiving dinner was over, I would be the first to slice into my mother’s famous chocolate cake. I lived for that cake! Ildiko told me that sugar was an energy toxin to me and that I needed to stop eating it. I felt a shock through my whole body.'
This was the beginning of the testimonial a client in California sent me 2 years ago after one Life Retuning session to deal with her life-long addiction and identification with sugar. She had made a decision to change her life in various ways, including eating a healthier diet. She found that she was going out to eat, ordering a salad and then craving unhealthy food including sugar and chocolate. It was time to do something about it.
Some substances in our environment can have an adverse effect on us when we eat, drink, inhale or are exposed to them; these are called Energy Toxins. Often when it comes to a food or drink, if it is an Energy Toxin, it can create a heightened vulnerability to cravings and addictions. For my client, her energy field immediately showed that sugar is one of those substances. Sugar for her is an Energy Toxin. I further discovered that her system had identified sugar as dangerous, when she was 12 years old and had eaten a chocolate eclair. Life Retuning can pinpoint with total accuracy the relevant information and factors of an issue. I used a technique to neutralise the adverse effect the sugar was having on her system.
We firstly dealt with her craving for others unhealthy foods when she was out. When she thought about it, she could feel her craving start. Her energy field quickly revealed that at 7 years old she had moved to a new school and had felt very anxious about it. She felt that adults around here were not paying her any attention or listening to her worries and her unhappiness. She had not thought about this memory for years until I told her it had come up. The Life Retuning process revealed that she had been holding on to feelings of embarrassment, anger and a low mood energy since then. Her mind now recognised the same triggers and was responding by getting her to numb out the distressing feelings by eating sugar and chocolate which releases endorphins; the group of hormones in the brain responsible for pain relief.
The next relevant time in her life was revealed by her energy field as being when she was 27 years old and going through a traumatic time with her brother. She knew consciously that is had been a difficult time for her, but she could not remember anything specific. This made no difference to being able to treat her for the emotional charge she was holding. For the process, it is irrelevant whether a client can remember anything or nothing at all consciously. Life Retuning showed that she was holding on to feelings of embarrassment and a low mood energy. Almost exactly the same as at 7 years old.
After Retuning these two traumas, she could not identify with the need for eating a sugary food any more. She was totally amazed at how this could be possible, after all those years of feeling her tastebuds tingle when she thought about a rich, sweet chocolate cake. However, this was not enough to completely stop her need for numbing out. Next I looked at the belief structures around the issue of craving sugar and I found the following unhealthy beliefs:
- I believe I am not heard or listened to
- I believe others don't care about me
- I believe others do not respect me
- I believe that if I talk about myself, I am selfish
Our minds are so very powerful and we do not even realise most of the time, because these beliefs are often held in the unconscious part. Most of the time we are only aware of 10% of what goes on, the rest is unconscious. But the drivers of most of our behaviour are held in the unconscious and they are very powerful!
'What you believe, is what you perceive'
After Retuning her self-limiting beliefs, she just laughed at how silly they sounded to her. However, the proof was literally in the pudding! With Thanksgiving a couple of months away, she was quietly hopeful that she would be able to resist her mum's chocolate cake this time. When the time came, she could hardly believe what happened. Here is the rest of her testimonial...
'A few months later I found myself at Thanksgiving dinner, and I had decided beforehand that I was going to have my mom’s chocolate cake. I raised the fork to my mouth…I barely chewed…Ahhhh….Then, I took the next bite. Hmmm…My mind wanted it sooooo bad, but my mouth didn’t. My body didn’t. “Ugh!” I said. “That is way too sweet for me.” My sister turned to me, her jaw falling to the floor. “What?!!!” You’re the dessert girl.” I shook my head and said. “Not anymore.”And while we usually think of miracles happening on Christmas, this one didn’t. This is my Thanksgiving Miracle.’

Two years on, she has completely cut out sugar and chocolate and this has affected some chronic pain she had for years but now does not suffer from since she asked me to help her with it.
