brazil84 comments on [LINK] Lectures on Self-Control and the myth of Willpower

I am not sure how much that counts as willpower.

Well it’s just a matter of semantics; what is the best way to define “willpower” for purposes of discussion?

Also, I would suspect that if you merely decide this one day before and do nothing about it, you will eat the cake with more or less the same probability if you haven’t decided.

I highly disagree with this based on self-experimentation and general observations.
