I actually find it easier to completely abstain from unwanted behaviour, than allowing myself some and keeping a tally.

The author's method would probably still work for me, as it doesn't require keeping a tally. Not so much for eating, since I don't have any problem with willpower in that area. But for choosing activities.

This seems to be very personal: some people are "moderators" while others are "abstainers". If you want to change a habit, any habit, it helps to know which category you belong to. http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/01/q...
