Rita, you are to be congratulated. As you know I am very supportive of your program, having been around two very close personal friends of mine (almost on a daily basis) loose a lot of weight over a 3 to 5 year period. One went from 430 pounds and size 60 waist down to 180 pounds and size 38 waist over a 5 year period. The other has lost 51 pounds during the last calender year. Both of them are so proud, they make me feel proud, too. So, keep pushin'.
Now--about the dissappearing rat poison. What might be happening is this: They are hoarding it rather than eating it. (I'm referring to mice here, rather than rats). A couple years ago in my garden shed, I was just at a loss for words over how fast I thought they were eating it. And I kept feeding them more and more and more and they kept eating it. I thought, well, new ones must be moving in all the time. And I kept feeding them more and more, and they just kept eating and eating.. I began to blame the Decon--thinking they must have changed formula or something and it was no longer any good. Then one day I went to retrieve some potting soil, and there, low and behold, I discovered a huge cache of stored poison inside the bag. Curious, I checked other bags and yes, they too had been chewed into with large stored caches of poison. Knowing that, I went back and set good old fashioned mouse traps the following day and caught the little buggers the good old fashioned way.
