Like any conditioned habit, you can make it conscious. It isn't easy at first, but it's the only way to truly take control of your health.

BTW, the Shangri La thing is effective if you choose to go the caloric restriction route. I tend to recommend body re-composition (more muscle, less fat) over "weight loss" for most people, but people (especially women) tend to obsess over scale weight.

As mentioned above, 20 pounds in 110 days is a caloric deficit of over 600 calories. That's a big gap for most people. Shooting for 10 pounds of fat loss while building strength is very doable and healthy.
