With vegetarianism itself, people do seem to stick to it (but probably there’s some selection bias at work here), but with restrictive diets in general, I’m under the impression that the fraction of people who try to be on a diet but then lapse is within an order of magnitude of the fraction of couples who try to be monogamous but then lapse—probably within a factor of two, too.

I was talking about the difference in degree between cooperating with your future self and cooperating with others.
The former’s harder for me; YMMV.
