I know you dismiss willpower... but it IS strong factor in life. And you do have it, and could work with it more, if you acknowledged your abilities.
I do have the willpower to work and to go to bed on time, but not with food. I do not have willpower with food nor have any desire to practice willpower with food. There are foods that I do not eat, e.g. pasta, but I do not miss them. If I want something, I eat it. I like to eat Finnish crackers till I finish the bag, I do it. Sure, it is a virtuous whole-rye food, but still, I eat too many pieces. I need something that would not make me want to eat that many pieces - I really, really do not have any intention to restrict myself via will power. I would feel really crappy if I had to put willpower between me and food.
