Things that are particularly unattractive for people to be smug about

1. Diet and exercise regime
2. Parenting techniques
3. Financial management
4. Any stroke of sheer good luck they happen to have experienced

I don't like when people are on some weight loss program (I won't mention names), where they go and weigh in and then have to tell everybody that they lost a pound that week to everybody they know! A person I know was so upset she had gained 3 pounds...and then another time that she hadn't lost anything that she wouldn't be quiet about it. Then it is - "Only 15 to go now!" What happened to exercising and eating normally and NOT obsessing to EVERYBODY you know about every single pound and, "Oh I shouldn't have eaten that, now I have to go to the gym and work that off!" GAH! I'm healthy. I eat well and I exercise. And that is all anybody needs to know, unless I have been bed-ridden and need some encouragement to get out of bed.

But what about this good luck thing you mentionned? What do you mean by that?
