I think the reason thinner later is harder to act to bring about, vs pie now is due to uncertainty. Thinner later is uncertain, hence I think our brains naturally discount the future goal, with a preference for the immediate.

what has worked for me is thinking in terms of positive choices, rather than goals or restrictions.

It’s not “I am not going to eat that cookie”

Rather it’s

“I am choosing to lead a healthier life..”
