TEMPTATION AND RESISTANCE.
YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR OLD BEAU'S OR KEEP CHOCOLATE IN THE HOUSE IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU
Nordgren’s study of Tempation and resistance has has implications for all corners of our personal lives, For instance, can a recovering alcoholic attend booze-saturated parties and stay sober? Can a dieter frequent his favorite dessert buffets and refrain from binging? Can a committed husband have drinks with a past fling without fear of infidelity? "The answer is probably 'no,'" Nordgren said. "People have less self-restraint than they think, a false belief that often leads people to expose themselves to more temptation than they can handle." In addition, he added, the study results suggest people often can’t predict how they will react in a given situation. "It's not just about eating and addiction, but the 'cold self' has a really hard time understanding what you're capable of in a moment of despair, in a moment of rage," Nordgren said
