Fat, lazy and happy?

Why do some lazy, usually fat people claim they are enjoying life while labeling people who would rather exercise, keep in shape, eat sensibly, etc as "unhappy" people depriving themselves from the joys of life?

Well excuse me, but there are some folks out there who find just as much enjoyment from life by being physically active. They find a tremendous sense of accomplishment when they push their bodies to the next level and achieve their desired physical goals. It's a feeling of euphoria that a typical couch potato couldn't begin to comprehend.
Nope, according to them, these kinds of people are "obsessive, narcissistic pawns with major self image issues, completely devoid of any kind of personality."
God forbid that someone can actually be happy doing such "horrible" things to their bodies (ie;sweating). God freakin' forbid that they should "deprive" themselves of that third helping of triple chocolate cake.

Nope, apparently the true path to happiness is being a lazy glutton while continually deluding yourself into believing that you are indeed living life to the fullest.
Well imagine how much more you could live that life if you could actually walk up a hill without gasping for air. Imagine the joy you could experience when you don't have to constantly shop for new clothes because your old ones don't fit anymore.
What really kills me is when these "life loving and enjoying" people actually complain about their size, but do NOTHING about it...unless you count coming up with elaborate yet lame excuses as doing something.
I'm not saying that everyone needs to look like some perfect 10 fitness model or anything, but just doing a little as opposed to nothing will make a big difference. Who knows... you might even *gasp* enjoy it.

Anyway, if you people are perfectly content with your lifestyle and your ever expanding waistline, knock yourselves out but don't try to condemn the more active people as being less happy than you are.
