If you understand exactly how long it will take you to lose weight and incorporate the uncertainty into your thinking \u2014 if you realize that it may be a two-to-four-months rather than a two-weeks-or-bust situation \u2014 you would be far more capable of resisting that brownie in the present moment. It won\u2019t be as simple as seeing the train wait time tick down in front of you, but it will be better than having no sign on the platform at all. At least you\u2019ll understand that waiting longer doesn\u2019t always mean waiting indefinitely. Investing upfront in realistic time frames \u2014 and learning to adjust those time frames as new information becomes available \u2014 may help us resist the pull of rewards that come too soon. Controlling our sense of the future, in other words, may help us control our behavior in the present.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
