>>748940I forgot where I read this, but I have seen somewhere that when you tell someone about something you plan on doing, it gives you a small dose of the sense of accomplishment you would have otherwise gotten from actually doing it. Therefore, the small, free reward is satisfactory and much easier to attain than doing the thing you said you were going to do in the first place.
This is why the guys on /fit/ always tell people who make threads like
>I'm actually going to do it. I'm tired of being fat. I read the sticky. This is just the beginning.to fuck off.
