Do you have the sudden feeling like starting an intensive workout program when you have a special event coming?
Have you thought, "Maybe I could really do this!" that gets us all excited and gives us the energy and drive to start something new.
At the beginning we're all excited, with visions of being totally buff, or perhaps winning a gold medal some day Then we follow a program for a week, maybe 2 weeks, and one day we wake up and realize we're disenchanted with what we're doing, because...
The results are not coming fast enough. We're not even sure if we're doing this "getting in shape" thing right. We see others getting major results with (what appears to be)minimal effort, and we think there may be something genetically wrong with us that we can't spontaneously morph into a superbspecimen of the human form. Little by little, lots of times without even realizing it, a bit ofself-sabotage keeps us from fulfilling our true potential.
We get off the program, we skip doing things that we know we're supposed to do, we have unreal expectations for results, then we shake our fist in the air and think, "Ugh! This isn't working for me!" The Most important thing you can do when this happens is don't quit!
