Yeah? Well I go to the gym too and I'm still fat

I hate it when people mention the gym in their status updates. It makes me think they're doing it to show off and make themselves feel good because now everyone knows they went to the gym/make others feel bad for not going to the gym.

Please note that as I write this blog I'm eating a sweet chilli and cheese scroll and drinking a can of pepsi. Health health health darling.

So there are two types of gym-involved status updates.

Type 1: The punch in the face
eg "Lisa F Daly just set a new pb time for 10km on the treadmill. Yay!"
and
Type 2: The stab in the back of the neck
eg "Lisa F Daly just saw the funniest thing at the gym, an old lady fell over! Lolz"

I sort of think Type 1 is better...yeah it's more annoying, and is more likely to cause some eating disorders, but at least it's obvious and the person is being honest. Usually anyway...the sort of person who does post like this is some sort of ironman (or woman) who could arm wrestle Samantha Stosur.

Type 2 however...that's sneaky. That person actually trying to say "I think you should know that I'm better than you. I'm kind of a big deal. But I dont want to punch you in the face, I just want to stab you in the neck from behind...subtely let you know that I've been working out and you're just a fatty sitting there eating leftover thai food. Fatty."
It's not as nice. It has no need to mention the gym at all! The old lady falling over would have been just as funny had it occured anywhere else (Obviously "old lady falling over" can be substituted with other stories)!

For instance, right at this moment my status is "Lisa F Daly was walking past a man in the street today when i heard a splasing noise. but it's ok he wasn't peeing, just vomiting".
Now this occured as I was on my way home from the gym. But I didn't mention that because you know what? Just because you go to the gym does not automatically make you a super fit hottie. I go to the gym and I've got more rolls than a bakery (chortle). If I keep going to the gym maybe one day I'll look like Roseanne in swimmers. Ok it's not that bad.

Either way, mentioning the gym in a status update annoys me...but sometimes I do it anyway to make me feel better. Now let me get back to my left over thai food. Fatty.
