A simpler argument would be noticing that what you're actually doing is not just taking too many calories today, but following a strategy of taking too many calories every day. You don't need TDT to see that, it's a matter of recognizing a precommitment, and making decisions about alternative precommitments (strategies).
Indeed, it's an example of the general problem-solving strategy of ascending (or recursing) to the meta level.
