I agree on the “pressure” part. However, the pressure need not be social, unless you count every action as mediated by societal influences. True enough, dieting is often driven by societal pressure, maybe the pizza example was not so great, but there are many other pressures people exert on themselves. Are you saying that breaking under internal pressures don’t result in the “what-the-hell” reaction?
Sorry, I was focusing on the dieting example too much. Social pressure is just one kind related to dieting, and it’s probably not directly related to the “what the hell” pattern itself. I’ll comment on the pattern in a top level comment.
