I don't think it's quite that. I believe what she's doing is equating what she's saying with actually doing the work. When you tell people you're g  61b  oing on a diet or that you're going to exercise, it's been shown that you get a similar endorphin response as if you actually did the work. I'm a Pluto (former planet) that has lost around 70 pounds to date and besides asking for advice on some nutrition/weightlifting forums, I keep that shit to myself.  It's also a much bigger morale boost when out of shape people or even fit people at the gym start asking for exercise/form advise.
