It was my pleasure to cause my current problem, and I am also enjoying solving it!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Ten years ago, I was as slender as I was the day I graduated from high school.\u00a0 But then I met my second husband.\u00a0 To show me he cared about me when we were dating, he frequently gave me flowers and other gifts, as well as lots of the food I loved the most\u2014chocolate.<\/p>\n

At the time, I was taking a certain medication to prevent migraine headaches, and it had a wonderful side effect. It revved up my metabolism and kept me slender while I ate as much of any food I wanted, including chocolate. Unfortunately, it had other side effects that were less than desirable, side effects like making my traumatically injured brain even foggier than it normally was and a tic that made my mouth twitch.<\/p>\n

About six years ago, I stopped taking the medication that had maintained my figure.\u00a0 Knowing that I would gain weight, I walked as much as I could.\u00a0 But my husband kept giving me chocolate so I just had<\/em> to eat it.<\/p>\n

Well, in spite of the fact I had increased my exercise, I gained weight from the pleasure of all of that chocolate.<\/p>\n

Now, years later, I am losing weight. And each time the scale says, \u201cYou have lost another pound!\u201d, I feel pleasure equal to what I felt when I was eating all of the chocolate.<\/p>\n

How am I making the pounds come off?\u00a0 I am employing every weight loss technique I have written about<\/a>, and I am also avoiding any sweetener other than fructose, the natural sweetness in fruit. This morning the scale said to me, \u201cYou have lost 15 pounds!\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is my pleasure to fix the problem that I caused.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let the\u00a0encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts then help you<\/h4>\n

soar like an\u00a0eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

One reason people gain weight is…<\/a><\/h4>\n

Something else I will do every day this year…<\/a><\/h4>\n

Is there someone in your life you care about a great deal?<\/a><\/h4>\n

Never try to lose weight by taking this dangerous supplement!<\/h4>\n
