I interact with a lot of different professional people from time to time. i encountered a woman last week that wasn't exactly a great billboard for the services she was trying to push on me.

I've slimmed down considerably. I still have about 20 lbs I'd like to lose.

This woman started telling me how their weight loss plan would do 'wonders' for me - she weighed at least 2x what I do (she's pushing 300). I somehow have a hard time taking advice from someone that wasn't exactly in a position to make recommendations like that.

Sort of like accepting personal training from someone that seriously overweight - it's just hard to swallow.

She said that she'd get me on a plan of 800 calories a day - related from Medifast. I said that I appreciated the gesture but wasn't interested in losing the rest of the weight that way.
