Period.

Habits are not always hard to change. I realized this just tonight as I was typing. I used to always put a double space after typing a sentence until recently when I heard that not very many people do that anymore*. I quickly switched over to only putting one space after my period (this "." not that "period") without really struggling with the old habit of hitting the spacebar twice. It was so simple.

This has made me realize that old habits are not always that hard to change. So why do I still have such a bad habit of always eating two cookies rather than just one? Why can't I simply give up eating that second cookie just like giving up that second spacebar tap? I know it's will power that has to do with the cookie business, but will power also has to do with holding back my thumb from hitting that spacebar. It was so easy to commandeer my willpower and say "Hey, don't you dare hit that spacebar a second time." and of course it listened to me and I had it trained pretty much immediately.

So, if anyone can kindly explain this weird phenomenon of me not being able to stop myself so easily from eating a second cookie, I would be much obliged.

*I believe this has something to do with when people used typewriters, it was difficult to locate the end of sentences, so they would add a second space after the end of a sentence to be able to locate it better. Now that computers can space the words perfectly, because computers are perfect like that, it's now easier to find the end of a sentence without having that second space.
