I'm a newbie(closing in on 21 days) but I think I'm already understanding the habit vs willpower concept. Last week I told you about the poker game and how although tempted by all the great snacks etc, I resisted them completely. But it took a little willpower.
This week, only 7 days later, we got together again and if anything the spread was even better this week. And despite my friends saying "wow this is good and that is good and Mike you should try this barbequed chicken, etc etc" I was strangely not even tempted.
So it didn't take any willpower whatsoever this week to resist. So I'm thinking maybe habit is beginning to kick in and I love it.

It really is amazing to me how a little willpower can turn into a habit that is unbeatable.
Well done on creating a new habit from your willpower.
