It seems to Mom that once I'm allowed to watch TV I will not be able to ________ myself and forget all about my study.

The given answer is 'control', but I think 'control myself' means 'make myself remain calm even thought I'm angry'. Should we use 'indulge' or something else?

Thank you in advance.

"control" is OK. "indulge" would be wrong.
