"Don't eat the first brownie!"

"Don't eat the first brownie!"
It's the only way I can stop myself from eating the entire plate.

Two types of self-control:
- Moderators
- Abstainers

Moderators can have one and walk away.
They enjoy things in small doses.
They keep things in balance.

Abstainers operate differently.
One bite kickstarts the engine to devour.
For us, none is easier than some.

Both are self-control. Just different versions.

I'm an abstainer, and anything else is exhausting.

The easiest way to waste energy?
Fight our natural wiring.
