    Item number 5 on the unsuccessful plan needs a bit of editing. I think it needs to include a formula for the inverse number of pounds lost/gained as related to the number of pounds of consolation chocolate consumed. Plus one.

    LOL, Caryn. I’d like to offer a more specific #5: The Consolation Godiva Truffle.
