What can YOU do with self-control?

Self-control allows you to make conscious healthy choices. With the power of consistent conscious thinking (using the prefrontal cortex, the thinking brain), you can override your primitive brain's impulses to seek immediate pleasure and make unhealthy decisions in the moment with food. i

In your weight loss journey, you may find your progress hindered by your habits around food. One minute, you may feel ready to deal with any situation, and then suddenly you realize you've been snacking between meals without thinking about it! "What happened?!" you ask yourself.
