How would IF kill you? Or is that hyperbole?

As it turns out, eating earlier did not immediately relieve me of the desire for a midnight snack. I didn't expect it to be instant, so I might keep at it, but I can tell you that right now, 9:09PM EST, I could use a snack.
Maybe tomorrow will be better. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to be in control of my appetite and eating habits.
