Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake Of course many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end It isn t just girls Most of us find it hard to say no to

other hand Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests Like muscles willpower can get tired Don t try to do too many
