Compulsion is Based on Infatuation and Illusion
February 15, 2008 |
Compulsive behavior is based on distorted thinking that has illusions and infatuations.
Do you really want to eat junk food? An honest answer is ‘no’. But you have come to believe that 30 seconds of taste is really what you want. But that is a lie. Infatuation is to love an image. Addiction is to love an illusion. It is an illusion to think that a chocolate bar will satisfy you when, immediately afterward, you will feel unsatisfied.
Get rid of the illusion or infatuation. It is 30 seconds of high-calorie, health-destroying taste pleasure that you don’t need. If you think of the reasons why you hate chocolate bars, you will not eat them.
We try to fight the battle of compulsive eating during the moments just before eating, but that is the least effective time to fight. You need to fight the battle when you are walking, sitting or waiting in line. Ask yourself, what do you really want? Do you really want to be a chocolate eater? You need to go over the reasons for quitting chocolate again and again until it enters the subconscious. If you do this mental work, the next time you are offered a chocolate bar you will say “NO” without thinking. If you ask yourself why you said no, you would answer, “I just don’t like them.”
