That's a good question. I don't know why you are being downvote. How does self control correlates to obesity? That can only be the case if we are talking about a narrow way of self control.

Anyway, the article is doubtful at best.

Controlling how much you eat and what you can't eat.

In the context of the article.... self control correlates with an increase in obesity.

Wasn't the metric for calculating self control was how long you were willing to wait for an additional marshmallow? Seems like a proxy for measuring self control that would be biased towards people with a propensity for obesity.

Those greedy kids and their marshmallows.
