Abstract
First paragraph: Successful health behaviour change often requires the foregoing of short-term pleasures and convenience in favour of less pleasurable, more effortful behaviours. As initiating and maintaining a series of effortful behaviours over time inevitably requires considerable self-control, it is likely that natural (intra and interindividual) variation in the strength and availability of cognitive or ¡®executive¡¯ control resources will be related to the likelihood that an individual¡¯s intentions are successfully translated into action.
