I pulled down a five pound bag of various mini chocolate bars, and went to town. I should have known better, but I figured in my compromised state that the ol’ sugar for beer swap-a-roo was the lesser of two evils. Maybe, but…
Once I’m there, I will suddenly find myself in a new here. The horizon will have receded further, continuing in earnest to remain just beyond my reach. And I, as Tantalus, will continue to grasp in vain for it’s fruits.
I began my journey to rewire my brain and rebuild my body with a BMI over 30. And that was after I had already lost around eight pounds. So, it goes without saying I was healthily (or unhealthily) in obese territory and trending upward!
When you’re harmoniously passionate, you become intrinsically driven, and, as a result, you will live in the here and now. The gap is really about being physically here but mentally and emotionally “there”, in some ideal future state. The gap is the distance between “here” and “there”.
However, it is my intention to turn down both the pot and the drinks since I’m determined to not ruin my marijuana free streak or fail at my first ‘Twice Lucky”. The long and winding road of temptation continues.
