Ah, the "willpower" myth.

No study has been able to objectively define "willpower" in such a way that doesn't include eating habits, but does correlate with body fat percentage. IOW: If you define "willpower" as the ability to avoid obesity, then yes, it is related to obesity, but otherwise it is not.

See also addiction.
