Decided I'd had enough of this couple after logging into facebook this morning to yet ANOTHER meme of this nature.
"Sorry my repeated check-ins at the gym remind you how lazy you are."
I'm all for staying in shape. I go to the gym three times a week (try to make it four when I can), have converted to eating mainly whole foods and sincerely have made an effort to better myself. But both my wife and I work, have four kids who are actively involved in activities and we simply can't be (and don't want to be) married to the gym and obsess over every little thing that goes into our bodies.
Yet this couple who we knew from our old neighborhood (which we moved from a year ago) lives, breathes, and sleeps fitness. Which is great......for them. It is great they are able to spend umpteen hours per week biking, running, working out twice a day and eating specialized meals from the health store that cost two to three times what the regular grocery cost. But that isn't enough. They have to let the world know every time they eat a gluton-free, organically grown, protein enhanced specialized meal after an afternoon of "training". But even then that isn't enough. They most certainly then have to let the world know that those who aren't doing the same are "lazy" and unproductive slobs. I normally have long patience on FB with folks with different opinions and passions. Heck, I've got gays, atheists and a more than a handful of far left wing libs who I freely read their stuff, agree to disagree with and move on. But for the most part they aren't obsessed about cramming their beliefs down your throat. But when it gets to the point where 90% of someone's time on FB is basically telling me that if I don't do what they do I'm a lazy unproductive slob I'm done.
