Impulsive choices and self-control

 I found that the impulsive choices and self-control section interesting. Without any self-control people will not be able to reach some of the goals they set for themselves. For example, if someone wants to start dieting and lose weight but falls into temptation and eating fast food or candy  because of impulsive choices they will not be able to attain their goal. With impulsive choices people have to think about the consequences that come with it. If someone who is dieting wants to eat a cookie but does not think about how the snack snack is unhealthy and is bringing them farther away from from their goal they will chose the impulsive option. The article I attached talks a little more about self-control and how it can be strengthened.
