Besides Implosion, there are two other techniques that can help keep you from cheating on a diet. The first
technique is the psychological intervention called Metaphor. An example of Metaphor is to imagine that your
overweight problem is due to your eating bread (or whatever you are craving, not on your diet). Picture yourself
in your mind’s eye, dragging around a giant loaf of bread, chained to your leg. In your mind’s eye, see that
dragging around that giant loaf of bread chained to your leg, has kept you overweight. Focusing on this kind of
imagery, using Metaphor, can be an effective tool to stop cheating. The other technique tomorrow.
