When I was still in the single digits range in age, Mama Lai would sometimes take me and my siblings to the local supermarket to grocery shop. Our first stop would always be the bakery section and she'd have us stand in a row in front of the display cases and take us through a visualization process:
"See all those pretty desserts? Take it all in and now pretend that you have it in your mouth and you can taste it..."
And then she would guide us out of the bakery section without having put a single item in our basket:
"Good! Now are well all full? See, delicious and no calories. Now we go grocery shopping!"
look but no touch. no kissing on the mouth.
