I don't think you're really acting intentionally: it's more likely that you agree with your autopilot. My reason for saying that is that there are a lot of medications with behavorial side effects (weight gain, increased risk taking) that would change those parameters for just about anyone. If you were constantly hungry, you would eat, it's as simple as that.
I have what feels like a continuously self correcting mechanism running in my brain. Like yeah, I might have a week or two or something of lounging, just punching the clock, but then every now and then I'll assess my goals and how they are going.
The question I suppose is whether having a goal driven mindset is down to free will or not. If a large number of people are doomed to not have that I think that's really sad.
Fat people and people with ADHD that affects their career reassess their goals too: often several times a day, and they usually feel awful about it. The difference is that the same switch that puts you into the week or two of lounging "mode" is flipped back an hour after they reassess, not a few months.
If 40% of the world are walking around basically without executive function then that seems like a major disaster that we need to do something about not just give people GLP-1's and call it a day.
