Since the rise of social networks over the past ten years, many of us have gotten into the habit of "oversharing". Nothing is more annoying to most than "Look at this delicious food you're not eating with me!" and "I just did 100 reps of dead lifts, PRAISE ME!"
However, something good can be found in this "oversharing" of our day-to-day (still within reason, of course). I realized this one day as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed. Currently, I'm on a journey to lose weight, and quite the substantial amount (like a whole person). Because of this, I've started following many different fitness buffs and healthy eating pages, which often share a slew of food pictures and chesty muscle shots. While we're quick to be irritated at people obsessively posting the aforementioned content, what we forget is that these things are often shared for motivation and for the entire point of these websites - networking. You can get great ideas from people sharing with you what they're doing; it's a learning experience. Although most of us don't care about someone's workout routine, there's that small audience that either learned something new, or felt motivated to get off the couch. Therefore, a general good was still done. As far as food that's not even necessarily healthy, I think it's good practice to show that you're thankful for the riches in your life, no matter how simple.
