If you want your choices to be consistent over time, you still need a meta-rule for choosing and modifying your rules. How do you know what exceptions to make?
Personally, I don't think my choices (as a human) can be consistent in this sense, and I'm pretty resigned to following my inconsistent moral intuitions. Others disagree with me on this.
Your choices won't be consistent over time anyways, because you won't be consistent over time. For your Centenarian self, the current you is a but a distant memory.
That my desires won't be consistent over very long periods of time, is no reason to make my choices inconsistent over short periods of time when my desires don't change much.
