Maybe one of your personalities wants to follow the Torah and the other does not. One wants to satisfy the body the other the soul. The Chasam Sofer advises us how to resolve this. It says bakesh shalom, look for peace veradfehu, and follow, go after it. The body and soul are constantly in conflict. One desires what the other does not. So let the neshama, soul do something small that the body might not like and continue until the body gets used to it, thereby creating peace between the two and then repeat this in small increments. Do not do this in big increments as you will get frustrated and fail.
