The ability to volitionally regulate certain behavioral impulses or immediate gratifications helps us to resist temporary temptations and to follow long-term goals instead. However, self-control does not always work as, for instance, restrained eaters may fail to follow their nutrition schedule and eat a tempting chocolate dessert after lunch. In the present viewpoint article, the strength model of self-control and the process model of self-control will be introduced in order to explain under which circumstances self-control performance breaks down. Furthermore, limitations and implications of these two theoretical models will be discussed.
