This has everything to do with free will...you're cognitive

This is self-contradictory. If my desire can be over-ridden by
<pizza aroma>, then it's an example of me not having free will.
The key word is "overrides".


your choice is purely free will based on
the motivations that push your buttons.

Again, if my choices depend on pushed buttons, it seems clear
that my will is not free.

For a professor your logic isn't real strong. :-)

It's simply a question of priorities. It's your mind that is making the
choice. No outside influence is forcing you to eat that pizza.

Although you want to lose weight, you want to eat the pizza more than you
want to lose the weight.

However, if that rationalization makes you feel more comfortable...go for
it.
