What would you use it for. It would give more freedom to do things I thing.
Stop the arguing which is a total waste of time. I'd get to have a single soda and be satisfied. OH and ice cream! The possibilities are endless. So what do you think? I would increase the use of the word flibbertigibbet
(The definition is a gossipy or overly talkative person).
Way to fun. I dare you to use it in your reply. See how many of you can incorporate it.

    I would use mine to steer me clear of all the flibbertigibbets in my school/office. No need to get involved with them.
    Also, I would keep cake in the house.... I miss cake. :tongue:

    The best part about the self-control button is that it is real You just have to press it! It's pressing it that's the hard part.

    For example, I just ate a ton of candied almonds. Oops :D

    If I had a self-control button, I think I'd have to use it to enforce self-control in the use of my self-control. <--- A flibbertigibbet

    To answer the question seriously, I would use it to tell myself when I've done enough exercise. I push myself too hard sometimes. I know that its important to push for that area just above what you believe your margin is, just for a minute or two if running or one or two more reps with weights, but for me... hell, I sometimes think if I have energy to breathe I have energy to burn! Which is not healthy *all the time*.

    So yeah, I'd use it to control myself when I know I've done more than enough, in a healthy measure.

    Isn't the lack of self-control the only thing that makes life exciting?

    I'd get the hell off MFP forums and go exercise.

    It's kind of ironic, really...
