want^2

A thought experiment. Imagine this conversation between 2 people:
A: I want to get some exercise.
B: That's great! Exercise is good for you, but I'm too lazy. I wish I could feel that way. I want to want to get some exercise.

Is it possible to have a desire to have a desire for something, or does it boil down to a single desire? If it's possible, how many layers can it go?
