/^t/A restricted candy eater, in contrast to the substitutioner, imposes on his or her eating candy. There are basically two kinds of goals concerned with restrictions on eating candy: short-term and long-term goals. The restrictions concerned with both types of the goals reflect what a person's view on himself or herself is. The short-term goals are those concerned with annoying daily activities or what the person regards as one's own self-help program. If somebody works too much on the computer but loves candy, the person may restrict oneself to giving up eating candy for five days a week. The long-term goals, on the other hand, require much more persistence on the part of the restricted candy eater for a long period of time. Passed exams, driving license or the total immersion will do to prize oneself with candy, the moment awaited for so long.
