- saddestcatever 8y agoTrue! You can "out plan" temptation if you avoid making decisions in the moment. Though - the same as a careful diet - social engagements throw a wrench in the discipline machine. Restaurants, bars, parties, etc.
- craftinator 8y agoAh yeah, true true. I tend to deal with the social temptations by "pauperizing", as my wife describes it. I was very, very poor in college, would often eat before social engagements to avoid prepared meal prices etc... So now when everyone is having drinks, I pretend I'm too poor to afford them, always walk to the bar and grab a soda water on the rocks. Everyone assumes I'm drinking a mixed, and I can always DD. It's interesting how being that frugal can improve my discipline, rather than degrade it!
