Last year for Secular Lent, I opted to give up sleeping in, to mixed success. At this point, I can't even sleep in when I tried (no alarm this morning but I was out of bed by 9:00 from sheer boredom), but I killed off my latest jar of Nutella on Monday and decided not to buy a replacement.
Objectivism doesn't promote asceticism, and neither do I, but resetting one's hedonic baseline occasionally allows you to maximize the pleasure derived from given stimuli. And I do eat slightly unhealthy amounts of Nutella, ruining my appetite for dinner. Cutting back in therefore a rational, selfish choice.
Might also end up going off other snack foods, but that will be incidental rather than committal.
