If all that was needed was a mental block, none of us would get belts? There is a huge difference in the headspace created between "shouldn't" get out and "can't" get out.
And unfortunately most people have a tough time justifying another $1000 when the $160 they just spent doesn't work. Fortunately however I think I am going to get another full belt soon
I don't think the chain would work for me as it would need to be so tight it would dig into my hips.
Like I said, just my cheap solution to a common problem
