Milk, It does a body

My new healthy goal is to not eat after 8 pm. This is a hard one for me considering I love eating in front of the television, without even thinking about it. I think the difference between gaining and losing weight is the difference between consciousness and subconsciousness. If you want to change something consciously, you have to think about it. It's on the front burner. I'm sitting in front of the television, and I want to have a 100 calorie pack. An apple. Another 100 calorie pack. Some nuts. Now something sweet again. I'm aware of what I'm eating, but I keep doing it. When I was gaining wait, it took the same amount of energy. I may have eaten a full left over meal, or had an extra piece of cheese, or two, or three. When I was gaining weight, I wasn't thinking about gaining weight. It wasn't a goal, long term or short term. It wasn't even particularly something I wanted, although hiding behind fat cells became a hobby of mine, even if I wasn't particularly fond of that hobby. The energy and time it took for me to gain is equal to the energy and time it's taking for me to lose. The only difference is levels of consciousness of that time and energy.
