8. WOOP: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan
   WOOP — Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan — is Gabriele Oettingen’s science-based goal strategy: you picture the best outcome, then deliberately confront the inner obstacle in your way, and pair it with an if-then plan. Unlike pure positive thinking, WOOP combines mental contrasting with implementation intentions, and both halves have genuine support from randomized trials.
9. Keep meal timing regular and avoid long gaps
   Long gaps between meals provoke a cortisol-driven hunger response that wrecks mood and cognition before the next bite.

10. Apply mini-WOOP to daily choices and temptations
    Run a 2-minute WOOP for small decisions — "What do I want? What’s the best outcome? What will get in the way? What’s my plan?" — before acting on impulse.
