Dark Chocolate Diet

Last week, I had the honor to help my friend U celebrate her second son’s 1st birthday. Two days later, we went to have a foot massage together. The girl there looked at her and said with no hesitation, “You cannot have a foot massage when you are pregnant.” She is in fact not pregnant and she just looks like she is. Her whole body is in proportion except, well, the tummy part.

As far as I can see, I suggest that she should stop her big sweet snacking habit, like yesterday! Easily said. Not so simple to execute. It’s always painful to cut someone off a habit, especially when the habit causes you obvious or potential pain. A more humane way, I think, is to find a new habit or substitutes for the habit. An idea came to, I bought her a big piece dark Chocolate with 85% cocoa. My advice is simple -- eat a piece when she wants to eat candies or cakes.

Certainly she is not the only one who needs the advice. I for one am in the desperate need for some intervention to cure my obsession with the internet. I am looking for my dark chocolate.
