It's okay to enjoy others success you see on social media but understand that they curating their posts - that's not really their real life. 

So many people get overly consumed on how people portray their lives in the digital world vs. real world, this can be very dangerous in ones life. 

To me, top social media platforms are like video games, cool at first and some time but then you could realize that most of your life is consumed by it. Now don't get me wrong, some gamers make it out to be a career and make some good dough but on average, the gamers are just obsessed and or enjoying themselves (maybe a little too much) 

What happens when a person wants to look a certain way and they scroll through their feed and or following specific people that they gravitate too and begin to imagine how it would be to look like that. Disregarding valid information given to them for there own well being, they merely hold on to the words of that influencer - which they have no background in the health and fitness industry besides looking the part. I mean when someone looks the part and talks the part, it's kinda hard not to believe them unless you know of what they speak of is total bs.

Your regular overweight person will not pick up on signs of being lied too because they are desperate to achieve what they want and so it's like taking candy from a baby with such influencers in the market, it's very well a perfect recipe for them to be doing what they do on social media to only treat people as human beings rather then a dollar figure.

If someone is guaranteeing you fast and sustainable results in months time - they are bull shitting you ! Weight and fat loss is not a fast process - it's messy, frustrating, stressful, hard work and most of all a long term process. Everyone will have different rates of speed with their results but what matters is your own journey heading towards your goal, because though that person finished the race a lot faster then you - can that person continue to do the same rate for the next goal and the so on. 

It's quite crazy to think that with the internet available at any given time, people are too lazy to do their own due diligence on who to hire for help and what to believe in about achieving their goal. I mean if you don't have the time to do your homework on the information needed to get help then the least you can do is do your homework on who you choose to hire to change your life for the better.

Social media can be either a weapon or a tool and unfortunately in the health and fitness industry it's an influencers dream $$$$$$
