I
know, I used to get annoyed by folks posting about going to the gym,
eating healthy, or working out at home.
But you know why???
Because I felt like they were bragging about how dedicated they were, or how good they looked, or even how good they ate (going with out chocolate for 30days).
Why did it bother me so much though???
It took me a long time to figure that out, but after several months of Reading personal development books daily, I learned something about my self as well as most of society.
WE Are Raised to be Competitive, Comparing, and Condemning of others. Rather than Praising, impressed, or motivated to better ourselves but their actions.
We are in a society that thinks in order to look good or feel good about ourselves we need to put ourselves above others. So when we see them "above" us we tend to criticize, or talk bad about them.
Saying things like:
"All she ever does is work out, doesn't she need to be a mom, her poor kids." Or
"Just because she has the time to workout all day, doesn't mean she needs to brag about it. If I had that time I'd look that good too."

I
KNOW Because I used to think like that, even talk like that.
But after reading, pondering and implementing book after book of how to be a better person, leader, friend, lover, mom, etc... I've realized this Life is Far Too Short to waste time comparing ourselves to others.
We need to Focus the time we do have on Loving, Praising, Encouraging, Supporting, Taking kindly about Our Friends and Family.
I want to put a Challenge out to Any one who wants to accept it.
