DRINK AWAY YOUR PROBLEMS

I picked up overeating as a coping mechanism in high school.

Things got stressful, and I restored to food to feel better.

But, years later, this pattern still haunted me.

I tried thousands of methods and tips.

For years, I was searching for THE SECRET.

If I tweak this or try that, maybe my hunger will magically go away?!

After years of searching, I almost got desperate.

NOTHING WORKED. EVERYTHING FAILED EVENTUALLY.

As I was sitting at my desk, my mind torn apart by the desire to binge, shame at failing my goals and fear of never making it, I looked at my glass of water.

"Drink lots of water," they say. Sure, but it can't be that easy.

I knew I had to do it. But I never fully did it because I was busy looking for the next fancy trick.

The solution to all my problems was right in front of my eyes. This whole time. This goddamn glass of water.

The solution to all problems are simple basics hiding in plain sight.

So simple that I arrogantly assume it can't be IT.

My cure was right up my nose, but my eyes looked everywhere else.

My friends, you must drink away your sorrows.

You know what to do. But you are horrendously arrogant.

You'd rather search for a fancy secret for years than humbly surrender to a timeless truth.
