Are fit people generally viewed as shallow? (Page 3)

Question

do you belive that most people who are into fitness and/or healthy eating and exercises are viewed as shallow?

From personal experience i get comments about the way i eat or the amount of exercises I do. Those comments normally are in the nature " are you getting you bikinibody ready?", or some sort of comment/question that implies the only reason that i work out is to look a certain way. People even ask me why i eat healthy, like its not common sense to not eat junk food lol

Since non of my friends, like ever, have or is interested in working out and eating healthy I only have my own experiences to use as an example. It seems to be hard for people (that i assume dont work out) to belive that people can work out and eat healthy because they like it.

I really enjoy the feeling of getting faster, or stronger or felling that my endurance increasing. Cooking is something i also really enjoy, and i love making healthy homemade foods for myself and friends. Junk food or processed foods just doesn't taste good to me. I dont exclude anything (that i like) from my diet, i just make an effort not to eat things like chocolate or restaurant pizza on a regular basis.
'
Some people absolutly do it most, if not only, for how it makes them look, but not everyone who us above average fit does it because they want a six-pack or a firm butt.

Whats your view on this?

I don't think so... I personally don't think they and no one I've spoken to has ever said anything that makes me think they do

Do you live until you are 100 years old when you are fit? Why don't you just stop saying it is to be healtier? Fitness is for looks, not health.

There's a difference between being fit and being a fit showoff.

You're lucky you just like eating that way and are motivated to excercise since it's hard for most of us but I don't think you're shallow for being that way, I wish I was more that way
