I think the more apt phrase is "I lack the discipline".

I do think there is a level of fooling myself when do choose badly, thinking "It'll be fine, no big deal", when down deep I know it will cause a problem.

Mentally healthy people make bad choices all the time, knowing they will pay for it later, but wanting to enjoy "the now".

OK.

Of course they do. But they do it although the choice is bad, not because it is.

Agreed.
