In a way this site is all about Self Control.
Right now I am using all the self control I have to not buy a 50" LED/LCD TV.

What are you using your self control to do/not do?

    we have 2. and actually they are 52". my husband is crazy.

    what am I controlling? my desire to go shopping for a LOT of new clothes. I need to get by on what I have for a while, I have a few new things.

    I am controlling my temper, it's another rough patch, but I will not scream like a banshee at my 10 year old who got suspended for fighting. grrr. (I have 3 boys and this bullying bugs me because one of my other boys dealt with bullies for years because of his differences (he has asperger's).

    I use self control in traffic everyday - if I had a snowplow instead of a Honda Si, it would be different.

    We are only using cash. Best thing we ever did.

    I am controlling the need to run off and not be a mom today and a woman for once. Being a mom seems like its all I am. Oh and decorating my living room its annoying the crap out of me.

    To maintain my weight loss, to get over over indulging on carbs, and to tone up my body.

    Spending money, trying to be patient. I want our house! But the bank is jerking us around, and since when have mortgage approvals been taken away last minute? I could scream!... but I will control myself. *deep breaths*

    ^^ The run off for a day part. My husband and I have a hotel reserved in another city for Thursday and Friday night. Right now I am controlling the urge to tell him to stay hom, I'm going alone - don't know if I will continue to control that.

    Using my self control to avoid eating when I'm bored. That's one of my hardest obstacles to overcome!! Even though I snack on relatively healthy food, its still extra calories I don't need!
