Flustration comes in many shapes and forms. The following article arguably has points that need to be fine tuned, but overall it's a straight forward and accurate assessment of why many aren't seeing the nutrition and fitness results they desire:
A couple of key areas that the article should have espoused more were that of realistic goal setting and monitoring your progress towards said goals. Such practices don't just apply to nutrition and fitness. They're applicable to most facets of our lives. The overwhelming majority of instances in which we've failed to meet a stated goal or task (e.g. passing an exam) wasn't because we lacked the ability. Rather, it was usually the lack of a structured plan to meet said goal (e.g. modular studying).
It's important to remember that setting realistic goals doesn't mean you can't eventually reach a more grandiose one. By setting, monitoring and meeting smaller (short term) goals you're far more likely to meet or even exceed larger ones. This methodology is a well proven stratagem for surmounting flustration. We just need to be reminded of it every now and then. Now, if only I could convince myself not to get flustrated over fitting blogging into my regular schedule.
