Let’s get something clear – I hate the term ‘corona kilos’.
To me, the fact that people are losing their jobs, not able to see their families for months on end, and even dying – and we are worried about weight gain – is an embodiment of the ‘thinsanity’ that I try every day to help people escape.
But just because the person in the hospital bed next to you has an amputated leg, it doesn’t mean your broken leg doesn’t hurt … as a practising psychologist I know how heavily corona kilos are weighing on people’s minds. So, as well as the tapping for COVID-19 session I recently shared with you, I wanted to give you some extra support to help you overcome any concerns you are having about your eating, physical activity, and of course, weight during this undoubtedly strange, challenging and uncertain time.
So, together with my Tapping for Weight Management Online Program co-founder, world leading tapping researcher and master trainer, Dr. Peta Stapleton1, we have put together a ‘tapping for corona kilos care package’, containing some mindset tips that my clients are finding super helpful at this time and, of course, some tapping!
Now, if you are thinking, ‘what the heck is tapping?’ please see my last blog where I explain everything you need to know about the technique and how it can help you to cope with COVID-19.
If you already know enough about tapping, here’s the care package that Peta and I have made up for you.

3. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE
Of course, even when you’ve chosen to do some physical activity that will work for you, there’s often the struggle to actually get out and do it. If the journey from your couch to the pavement feels like one from The Shire to Mordor2, here’s a tapping session that will help …
