Of all the crappy advice I heard about weight loss this tops them all:


"Craving tip: If you have a weight loss goal but can't imagine going six weeks without cheesecake, practice this technique that recovering addicts use. Sit for 20 minutes and envision the whole experience of eating the cheesecake or fill-in-your-craving-here. What does it taste like? How does it feel going down your throat? How do you feel afterward? According to Erika, if you think it through, most likely, you won’t want it as much anymore."


I know one thing.. if I sit there for 20 minutes thinking about cheesecake.. as soon as I stand up I'll go grab some cheesecake!! Maybe even more than I originally wanted!

You're right Mary, I can't imagine who that would work for. Probably intended for someone who has been a size 2 her whole life with no effort and now has ballooned up to a 4 after a pregnancy. Thanks for the laugh though...Now I'm off to think about cheesecake. LOL Annie

Thanks for the laugh-- I actually laughed out loud ( something my husband says I don't do enough) and it made the guy in the cube next to me think I was laughing at his lame joke :)!!!! I think I am going to go think about a pizza for 20 minutes to go with the cheesecake...I guess a granola bar will do
