Freedom - quick thought

In studying my module Ideas of Freedom, this thought occurred to me in regards to the nature of freedom

Freedom is not just being able to do what you want: it is about having options available to you.
Even if the one option open to you is what you desire, that is not freedom. That is akin to a benevolent dictatorship
It is important that we are free to behave irrationally, immorally and even against our own will, even though we never would follow those paths.
E.g.
You want chocolate ice cream
You are force fed chocolate ice cream
= not free
You want chocolate ice cream
There is a choice between chocolate and vanilla
You eat the chocolate
= free

Addition:
We are now studying Free Will, and it seems that everything we do has a cause. However, this seems fine to me, as long as the cause comes from ourselves. Perhaps determinism is true, but the type of freedom we need for our lives to have meaning is not incompatible with this. The importance of options is even more important, because we are freer to pursue whatever desires we please.
