Looking through the forums here I did not see an appropriate section for a post on impulse control...if there is one, please feel free to move this post.

I've always been spontaneous and when I want something I want it now. Alltogether, this has helped me a lot in life because I have a real drive to go after things that make me successful etc.

On the other hand, I can never stick to diets because if I want that box of Godiva cholocates I'm gonna get it. Purchases follow the same route, I don't go into debt but have been known to buy very expensive things because I have to have them. I once moved across the country shearly on impulse.

So, on the whole it works out great, however, as you can imagine sometimes I (like most people) want to do something that is not in my best interest. Are there any tips on not doing something that you really want to do?

I've been debating this because part of me thinks that is something is in your heart and you really want it, you have to go for it no matter what other people think. The other part of me says that smart people weigh the pros and cons and don't just go off willy-nilly chasing every silly idea.
