When you been riding a train for so long it can be hard to get off. Extremely hard to get off. I’m talking 2+ decades long train of vice hard to get off. My adult life has been one excess after another. Whether that be E.L. Fudges, Takis (hence title), beer, reality shows, coffee, Rockstars, cigarettes, beer, beer, beer… the list goes on. That I slip into just mindless consumption of junk and can’t seem to pull myself out of it. I KNOW what I should be eating, doing, etc. – starts with not eating anything I can get at a gas station. (FYI – E.L. in E.L. Fudge stands for Everybody Loves – the more you know people, the more you know.)

When presented with a choice I will inevitable always choose the wrong/easy way. Not saying I’m always like that. I have a way of correcting just enough to keep myself from completely tanking, but not enough to feel good about my life choices. I have moments where I will rise about my big mamma eating habits and have brief periods of self love and sanity. But like flowers for Algernon, it’s only a matter of time before I slip back into the murky water.

So coming to again from a night of eating gas station Takis (purchased for my son – excuse) and beer, I can literally smell the Takis fuego coming out of my pores. (Fuego stands for fire).

I’m so disgusted and want a fresh start. Why this 5 pm malaise that hits me? My early morning resolve dissolves around 3 PM. How do I get past this witching hour?

I’m going to see if others have done it. Help me. Taki detox needed STAT.
