On a hot summer morning, my husband,
Steve, offered me some ripe, ice-cold, cantaloupe. He said, "Too bad you
don't like cantaloupe. It doesn't get any better than this one." I
remembered hearing about people clearing a food issue with EFT, so I thought I
might as well try it. I had detested eating cantaloupe for as long as I could
remember. My sister didn't like it either, which made me think that
"something" happened while we were eating cantaloupe when we were
girls.

The set-up phrases I used (while tapping on my karate chop point) were,
Even though:

• I don't like the taste of cantaloupe, and I don't know why, I
  deeply and completely love and accept myself.
  
• I don't ever remember liking the
  taste of cantaloupe...
  
• my sister and I don't like the taste of cantaloupe...
  
• something may of happened while we were eating cantaloupe, and I don't remember
  what it was....

Then I did a round of tapping. For the reminder phrases I used:

• don't
  like cantaloupe
• doesn't taste good
• don't like the taste
• don't ever remember
  liking the taste.

Then I took a taste of cantaloupe. It was cold, somewhat crisp, and
felt good in my mouth. It didn't taste quite as bad as I thought it would, but
I couldn't say that I liked it. So, I did some more set-up phrases while
tapping on my karate chop point. Even though:

• cantaloupe has always tasted
  yucky to me...
  
• something happened to make it so I don't like the taste of
  cantaloupe, and I don't remember what it was...
  
• there is something about the aftertaste
  of cantaloupe I don't like....

I did a round of tapping using the following reminder phrases: yucky
taste; yucky cantaloupe aftertaste. For the testing, I took a big bite of
cantaloupe. "Yum, not bad," as I continued eating a giant piece of a
fresh, juicy, cantaloupe.

In about five minutes, I cleared a food aversion
that I have had for over 50 years. Even though I had a sense that something may
have happened in my past while I was eating cantaloupe, and even though I
couldn't remember exactly what it was, I was still able to clear my resistance
to the taste. Now, I can finally enjoy a food that I had eliminated from my
diet when I was a child.
