Breaking the habit

I was thinking today about how I was following a more rigorous regime and particularly about how I was eating only before 12pm. I decided today that I should eat later on as well (I am currently munching on various assorted health-foods) and so I did. And I noticed that it was becoming harder to control my eating habit unless I kept to a strict diet. I think that I need to eat less in each meal, but have these little breaks and eat all meals. For only then can I become unattached, when I no longer am habituated to this style of eating, I can leave this cycle.

Habit is a tough thing. I feel the only thing that can break a reason why. Have you noticed when you have a habit, and you want to break it but you find no reason to motivate you to do so, you generally don't break it. But when you have a motivation, it becomes very easy? For example I used to bite my nails, but I decided I wanted to shape them, and i havent bitten them since. Not even once. It was incredibly easy just because I take pride in my nails now.

Habit is an uneasy thing,
