Candy and Elvis

Happy Halloween....for those patients of ours that choose to wander by our office this morning, be prepared to see Elvis come to life....in the form of a middle aged male doctor thinking he looks great in the jumpsuit....Viva Las Viagra...oops..I mean Viva Las Vegas....Don't worry, if you cannot make it in for this spectacle, we will take pictures and have them prominently displayed at our VERY SPECIAL Patient Appreciation Nite scheduled for Friday, December 5 from 5-7pm. (Autographed Elvis pictures will be on sale).

Okay...please remember that the nation's largest health concern is childhood obesity and if you plan on giving our Reeces Pieces, Butterfingers, etc. tonight, you are not exactly helping the problem. PLEASE consider non-caloric treats...such as party favors or some other "treat" that children will perceive as fun, safe but yet not high-caloric. Or, perhaps, some lower calorie "treat", such as a packaged fruit.

Also, as I have made my case previously, do NOT decide to either ingest your left-over candies or partkae of your own cildren's collection from your neighbors. These smal high caloric sources will completely wipe out all the hard wotk you have done this week. If you are going to do a chocolate, go out and buy some expensive Godiva...do not do the cheap stuff.

At all times, rememeber your quest to be healthier, happier, look younger etc...these are the reasons WHY you want to lose weight....do not let the little saboteurs we call "treats and goodies" take us away from this great mission.

I heard that there is a dentist in the Fairfax area who is buying childrens halloween candy. Then the child can use the cash to buy a toy, etc. My grandkids are already hoping to get a lot of candy to turn into "cash" then head to Toys R Us! They either have high hopes for "tons" of candy or a high return on their "investment"....and we know how that goes!
