Are You Obsessed with Cake?

I worked with a patient back in Fall '08 for her Food Cravings, and specifically her obsession with cake. She came to me for Acupuncture as she had some other issues she wanted to address in addition to her cravings.

After her initial exam and Acupuncture treatment, she reported that most of her cravings were gone, but cake was still a problem. I notice this often, that Acupuncture is good for helping general cravings, but when they are very strong and specific, like an obsession with cake, Acupressure is what is needed. 



We did a session for her cravings and obsession with cake. At the start of the session, she said she couldn’t walk by cake without having some, or thinking about it even if she didn't eat any, she felt obsessed. She was surrounded by cake at work, because co-workers were always bringing in some form of cake, so this was a problem.

Food Obsessions Fade

After our session, she couldn't believe that she used to feel the way she did about cake and it felt silly to her. But that's not uncommon. Once the neural pathways have changed, the behavior we once had doesn't make sense anymore, it's easy to let go of it. I heard from her today and she said that she hasn't had any problem with cake since we worked together.

 It's not like she changed jobs, she just was not tempted anymore.

So, if you have an obsession with a certain food item, it may be a simple thing that needs to be addressed. I can tell you that it's not a character flaw. It's not about willpower; it's often more tied into past memories and behaviors from long ago. Oftentimes, food cravings are just a sign that there is an imbalance, and we need a little help shifting gears.

So, if you have a really strong and unexplainable craving or obsessions with a particular food item, I can help you. Please contact me to start your new life without food cravings or obsessions.
