Worship me!!!

Somehow I have become the weight loss guru around here (at work). This morning I had an email exchange with a lady who went through gastric bypass and has gained back 15 lbs. She wanted to know how many points she should be eating, which led to an email from her telling me she is going to cut out sugar "to start with". When people say this I just envision me screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO" leading to a slow motion scene of me stuffing a piece of bread in their mouth or something. Why do people think the answer is "giving up sugar" People, sugar is not the enemy! Damn you Adkins! Damn you to hell! (disclaimer: I do not really wish Mr. Adkins is in hell, I'm sure he's in a very nice sugar free after life)

The second weight loss conversation I had this morning was with a friend of mine from the mail room. He told me he is going to give his barber(?!?) my number because this guy wants to loose like 80 lbs or something. Um...what am I really supposed to tell this guy? "Join Weight Watchers"? This is not the first time this has happened either. I think it's great that people are so inspired and impressed with me that they talk to their barbers and supermarket baggers about me, but really, you people know how I lost the weight! Can't you just say "my friend/co-worker/girl I know lost 90 some lbs on Weight Watchers"?
