OH reminds me of Hogwarts for adults, lol.
Hi guys,
I'm in a silly mood today, but it occurred to me that Obesity Health is sort of like Hogwarts.
First, we get an orientation letter welcoming us and telling us what to do.
Then we are sorted into houses (types of surgeries).
We go to classes and learn a a lot.
We have first years, second years, etc.
We play quidditch (set friendly challenges).
We have to deal with dementors (head hunger).
We have clubs (various forums).
Like the Hogwarts gangs, we are often attacked while on holidays (food cravings).
We make lifelong friends. :-)
Some graduate and stay on as professors, helping the new students.
---so, what do you all think? Anything to add, lol?

Love the analogy. Too bad we can't use our wands to zap the chocolate cake and turn it into a protein, "Proteinicanna!"
Too funny Kathy and too true.

LOL; love it! Our first spell! Every time I see chocolate cake, I'll think, "Proteinicanna!"
(this is the closest I could find to a magic wand in the emoticons, lol).
Oh, and also it can be used as a spell whenever we add protein powders or high protein yogurts to other foods, lol.

I should have written it phonetically, pronounced "Protein-I-canna", not "Sugar-I-donnawanna". Love the wand.

That's perfect Kathy, I love it. When we lose a lot of weight we have the cloak of invisibility because no one recognizes us.
