I have a heavy right foot too. I think it is from all the muscle cars I've driven. I've gotten to the point that this rarely happens now. It always suprises me how tight I can squeeze the front brake without doing a stoppie. When I was 10 I had flipped over the front of a mountain bike from grabing the front brake on a really fast down hill run. Since then I've always been a little gun-shy of the front brakes.

Since then I have spent a lot of time learning where the limit on the front brake of the ninjette is and I am perfectly comfortable making a full brake now. Just go out to a parking lot and practice. It can be really fun. Start at 15 MPH and work your way up to about 40. It helps practice balance and keeping a straight line when coming to a light a well.
