| Today let’s talk about food. Everyone is telling you that if you would only stop eating certain foods that you would weigh less forever. Every one of those people has a favorite food or kind of food that they tell you is your worst enemy. If only you had never eaten that food you wouldn’t be overweight or fat. Is that really true? Is it really the food’s fault that you weigh what you do? Let’s put that to the test and see if those people really know what they are talking about. Pick a food that you have always eaten and that you think is responsible for you being overweight. It’s a food that you really love and feel you absolutely must eat. You love the taste and how the food feels in your mouth. You can’t be without it for very long. Let’s say its ice cream. Almost everyone loves ice cream. You really love it now they have convinced you that ice cream is your mortal enemy and giving it up will make you thin. Now for the test. You must imagine that ice cream has disappeared from earth. It is gone forever. No one makes it or sells it and it no longer exists. You will never see or taste ice cream again. You will never have the flavor or the wonderful sensation of eating ice cream again. Think about it, very seriously. Ice cream is gone – forever. What will you do? Will you be happy that ice cream has disappeared because you don’t have to eat it anymore and you can forever be thin? Will you be happy and celebrate? Or, will you feel deprived? Will you look around for other foods that are similar to ice cream that have a similar taste or sweetness or feeling when you put it in your mouth? Will you then eat those other foods instead of ice cream? Is that because you need the kind of satisfaction that you got from ice cream? I think you will find that you are not happy that ice cream has disappeared from the planet. I think you will find other foods to eat instead of ice cream that give you the same sensation and feeling that ice cream did, with roughly the same number of calories. Of course, that would leave you in pretty much the same situation that you were in when ice cream existed. That means you aren’t going to become thin because ice cream no longer exists. That means that everything that people have been telling you about why you are fat is just nonsense. It just isn’t true. You have been misled. Those people don’t have a clue.
