Having just proven my previous research correct, I just finished a bunch of cake. Late at night. When my will power was (is) low.
Studies and personal experience confirm how much easier it is to resist processed and high-calorie foods in the supermarket than in your fridge.
I pretend that putting desserts in the freezer will hide them from me and I won't remember to go for them. Except late at night, when I just KNOW they are there and sometimes give in.
While I'm not the only person that does this, it's still frustrating to feel full with no real benefits from the intake.
The key to these lapses may be our pre-snack energy levels because self-control requires energy (this downloads a PDF).
