    The document discusses how willpower is often underestimated in achieving goals like weight loss. It describes a conversation where a friend lost 80 pounds simply by deciding to eat less, without using special diets or strategies. While habits are important, the document emphasizes that willpower - the ability to choose our intentions over impulses - should not be underestimated in driving real change. Forming supportive habits can help willpower but are not necessary if one is committed to their goals through strong will.
