Why do girls always set unrealistic time frames for their fitness goals?

[Anonymous]

Whether their goal is weight loss, toning up, adding muscle, or whatever, girls seem to refuse to acknowledge that seeing a total body transformation takes time and patience.

Why is this? Why can't they accept that they won't see a total body transformation in the span of just a few weeks? Why is it so hard for them to understand that it takes hard work and patience?

I'm sick of dealing with girls who set unrealistic goals for themselves pertaining to fitness and then getting discouraged when they don't see drastic differences in the span of just a couple of weeks. It shouldn't be this way.

I guess they are not very well informed about it? Most people don't realize that it takes time. I mean for example weight gain, most of the time you gain weight gradually, so its only logical that you loose weight gradually too. Unless you are on some kind of extreme weight loss plan or something. Which is not healthy. But yeah I think its because they are not informed very well.

We live in an age of instant gratification. You need food so you go to the grocery store instead of growing it. You want to talk to so and so you don't write them a letter. You call or text them. When most of the world works this way its easy to forget that somethings require effort and a time commitment.

Not every girl. And its because they usually don't take the time to educate themselves on fitness and health and rather just look at the bigger picture which tends to be an unrealistic goal for their time frame.

Most of them are young and don't know any better. The typical American doesn't take a Health course in High School which is kind of maddening.

I'm an American and when I was in school they made us take health courses in middle and high school.

So did I, but my health teacher didn't know sh*t about fitness. I had to figure it out on my own.

Of course. This isn't about having realistic expectations, it's about crapping on the younger generations. I know the drill.

i've never even heard of them setting goals. I thought they were all happy having flabby skin, puffy stomachs, and a face full of makeup

Um, hello? You can thank the media and models and magazines for making us feel like crap and wanting results NOW. Guys do the same thing.
