Facebook Follies

Until I got my ipad, I was only on Facebook once a month or so.  I have since downloaded the Facebook app on my ipad, so I do get on Facebook every couple of days.  I have decided to go back to only looking at it every month as it is to depressing.

Facebook can be very useful when keeping up with acquaintances or learning what is going on with our cousins' families.  However, when I log on and everyone is bragging how they have lost x pounds in the last few weeks, or how many miles they have ran training for their marathon, it depresses me.  Knowing that I need to lose weight, and trying by starting to make the bare minimum changes.  Or reading about how a majority of people I know are taking trips to Hawaii, Jamaica, Cancun and I have currently have no vacation plans.

Maybe I am just backwards, but seeing all the posts on Facebook depresses me and it chips away on my self-esteem.  For my own good, I am not going to be a frequent visitor on Facebook any longer.
