We live up to our expectations, not our desires

This article caught my eye -- http://www.peertrainer.com/expectations_versus_desires.aspx -- talking about how many diets fail because we rely on our desire for weight loss to carry us through to the goal, while in fact our deep-down beliefs and expectations for success can undermine that and keep us from our goals.

Maybe that's one of the things that is so great about working with a talented trainer. They help us recalibrate our expectations. That's true for me...the things I am doing now I could never have counted among my expectations.
