Hawkal, I know that problem quite well. My suggestion is to start witd adding something you want, instead uf substracting something you don't want. Don't forbid yourself to watch TV, but do work on some long-term goal every day for a fixed amount of time.

Last but not least, this all comes down to conflicting beliefs IMHO, and I suggest that you read about the Core Belief Process in my 2 Ways To Stop Fighting Reality as well as The 3 Most Common Mistakes Made When Setting Goals
