This is Mike. He has developed a ton of good habits in his life.
He reads, meditates and exercises every single day. But he has one bad habit that he can't seem to shake.
And that is his love for chocolate and other sweets. He's been eating them almost every day for years now.
Mike already knows that eating processed sugar is bad, however, one day he reads an online article outlining all the bad consequences that come with along with it.
This persuades him to quit eating processed sugar for good. The next day, Mike comes home from work, tired and hungry.
He goes into the kitchen to prepare himself a meal, but there they are… Chocolate chip cookies are on the counter, but this time it almost seems like they are calling him.
Mike knows he's trying to quit so he musters up all of this willpower and ignores them, while trying to prepare a different meal.
However, as his dinner is cooking, he passes by the cookies again, but this time he can't resist them.
His hunger gets the best of him, as he grabs a handful and eats them all.
It took just 1 day for Mike to fail with his goal to quit eating processed sugar.
