Need to Lose Weight? What If…
What if…you stopped your weight gaining eating, didn’t overeat, binge eat, or eat fattening foods? What would make this possible? 
What if…you tried this out a little at a time? First off, you could set up a series of trials in which you would stop yourself for short periods of time (example: starting at 1 minute each trial and building up to as long as 5 minutes each trial). Would this make it possible for you to stop your weight gaining eating?
What if…you try to stop yourself for a longer period of time, say a whole meal with no snacking in between; that's no eating until the next meal? What would make this possible? Would you increase the probability that you could do this if you write down 5 of the worse things you expect to happen as a result of not indulging in weight gaining eating, and they don’t happen?
What if…when you try to stop yourself for a longer period of time, in addition to writing 5 of the worse things you might expect, you also describe aloud how you're feeling emotionally? Would this increase the likelihood that you could stop your weight gaining eating?
What if…you try these techniques and see.
