A guided visualization comparing the pleasure of eating your favorite food against living at your goal weight. The speaker walks you through both experiences to help you feel which one actually matters more.
Which is more pleasurable, eating your favorite food or living at your goal weight? In order to decide, I want you to connect to each of these experiences in vivid detail. Let's start with the food. I want you to imagine your favorite food on the planet. What is your favorite thing to eat? And I want you to imagine eating it in the ideal situation. Okay? So the perfect environment with the perfect people, or alone. And it's perfectly prepared. Now I want you to imagine looking at this food, smelling the food and tasting the food. How does it feel to eat this food? Really connect into that pleasure, all the joy and pleasure you get from eating this food. Notice it, connect to it. Give you a few more seconds here. Okay? Now I want you to remember that feeling. Okay? That's the pleasure you get out of eating your favorite food. Now we're going to do is we're going to go into living at your goal weight, and we're going to do it by imagining it's tomorrow morning. You're lying in bed, you've just woken up, you haven't even opened your eyes yet, and all of a sudden you realize you are at your goal weight. You're in your dream body. Now I want you to imagine feeling this body on the outside with your hands, feeling it from the inside, how it feels to breathe into this body, how it feels to be in this body as this version of you. Now imagine hopping out of bed and you're going to get dressed in the exact outfit that you would love to wear on this body. Okay? Imagine what it feels like to get dressed, how it feels when you're done dressing, to look in the mirror and see yourself in this body, in this outfit as this version of you. Now, I want you to imagine moving through the rest of your morning and the rest of your day. So the day is going to be the same. Whatever you expect to happen tomorrow is going to be the same. The only difference is going to be you're going to be at your goal weight. And so I want you to imagine moving through your morning, what you want to eat, how it feels, how it feels with the people you run into, how you're speaking, how you hold yourself, all the little details of living at your goal weight. Looking the way you want to look, feeling the way you want to feel, being the person you want to be. And imagine yourself moving through your day tomorrow. And all the little details, all the conversations you're going to have, all the places you're going to go. How does it feel to move through your day at your goal weight as this version of yourself. And I want you to internalize that pleasure. Notice how it feels. Means more relaxing, more calming, more exciting. Whatever emotions you're feeling, I want you to notice them now. And now the question is, which one is more pleasurable?
