If you are over the age of 38 and reasonably slim / not overweight, please tell me this:
An hour or two after dinner when you really fancy a bit of toast, do you tell yourself "no" and force yourself to resist the urge? When your brain nags you again, do you give it a firm "no" until and tell it to go away?
When you really want a small bowl of cornflakes before bed, do you just stop yourself and ignore the hunger pangs? Do you tell yourself "come on, you can do this. Think how good you'll feel tomorrow"
Do you tell yourself these things every day? For years? And rarely give in to temptation?
Or do you just never usually fancy a piece of toast or a late bowl of cornflakes? So it's just not a problem for you?
Are slim people better at self control, or are they just experiencing fewer urges?
