It's Not about Willpower
Willpower is about staring temptation in the face and daring yourself not to give in. Problem solving is about figuring out how to avoid temptation in the first place - or, failing that, how to extricate yourself from it as quickly as possible. Willpower focuses on "I can’t" - "I can’t eat this ice cream" or "I can’t miss this workout." Problem-solving focuses on "I can" - "I can have a snack today" or "I can have my workout clothes laid out so that I can get dressed as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning." Willpower is a magical strength that only a few lucky people possess. But anyone who can slow down long enough to think a situation through can be a creative problem solver.

We need to empower ourselves to do what we want to do!
