Stop Throwing Up On Me; I Am Starting To Get Grossed Out!

Oh the stupid crap people post on social networks and the stupid crap they say.  WORD VOMIT!!!  “My life is full of poo that smells like roses.”  No one actually wrote or said that but they might as well have.  

What is word vomit?  Word vomit is the stupid lies people tell you and themselves that doesn’t make sense and after it is said makes you feel dirty and sticky, and not in a fun way.  These people want to push their view and their values onto you like a gang of greedy right wing republicans.  LOL, sorry I made myself laugh on that one.

One of my favorite pics.  Free your mind and life from crappy people and happiness will follow.  Hey did anyone just hear EnVogue singing Free Your Mind.  If you didn't here is the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7iQbBbMAFE&feature=player_embedded

Word vomit comes from two types of people, fatty friends (the opposite of fat free friends) and from leaches.  Please see my Beachbody post at www.teambeachbody.com/amycobine to see my definition of leaches and what a fat free friend is (fat free friends can also be found here on fatletes).

How can you tell if someone who proclaims happiness and the perfect life is full of the big P (poo) and has just spewed their word vomit on you?  Here is how.

1.   This person will proclaim a perfect life and will always tell you (even if you do not ask) how great life is (yeah that’s your first clue).

2.   This person will post few to no pictures of themselves on social networks.  They will tell you life is picture perfect yet do not have any pictures to prove it.  Hmmm I am suspicious.  See, unhappy people do not post pictures of themselves because then you would see the truth on their face. It is hard to have a ton of pictures of yourself when you don’t actually do anything worth taking a picture of and are not truly proud of the life you have created.  It also does not hurt to mention that these types of people are often inactive and unhealthy and therefore don’t get out to take many pics.  Just sayin…

3.   This person will have a large list of medical problems or will also announce recent illness or injury…often.

4.   This person will use popular quotes from others in attempt to inspire others, or maybe to inspire themselves.

Here is a quote you won't see many people using but I like it.

5.   These people will try to mirror almost everything you do or proclaim they are just like you.  “Oh, I shop there too.”  “I have that too.” “Look we are wearing the same thing, twinzies.”  "Great minds think alike."

6.   These people will also tell you how much everything costs or make a reference to price. “Yes I buy those toys for my kids and they are very expensive.”   I have actually heard this one said often from a fatty and here is my response to her, "No the toys are not expensive and you are LAME!"

7.   My favorite is when they say or think everything they have is better than what you have.  Which I guess would be fine, if they didn’t buy everything at the dollar store.

I have never seen any of my friends with happy lives proclaim anything about having everything they want in life and that everything is coming up roses.  They may say they are blessed but never a play by play of their picture perfect life, because people with great lives know that with the ups comes the downs. People who choose not to spew their word vomit on you will know that life can’t stop and there is never a time to coast or as my mom would say “slow down and smell the roses.”  My response “screw that!”    Stopping to smell the roses is how life passes you by and you miss chances.

My blog is about health and fitness and I love to talk about exercise and nutrition and I know none of this article is directly related to those items.  But I know from personal experience once you distance yourself from these types of people things like losing weight become much easier.  You may not realize the exuberant amount of time you spend dealing with other people’s drama.  Direct your energy into yourself.  And if you have read the short list above and realize you may be this type of person, well then, no worries, we are all capable of change. 

Want me to coach you and be your support, text of fb me.  And I really am NOT a mean coach.  LOL  Good thing I think I am funny huh.
