People have a really hard time looking at time in a third perspective. It's hard to grasp and imagine daily habits over couple years, not to mention a decade or two (or even millions of years as shown in science examples). So naturally, they're surprised that their daily bad choices multiplied by 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, 12 months per year, 10 years per decade are "suddenly" showing somewhere. It's making a bad decision multiplied by time. Then they try to change this and are even more surprised that it's hard and it takes long. Well you can't just erase a decade of bad choices in couple months. Hell even if you suddenly get a streak of excellent persistence (which people in such situations usually lack), you could take a year or more to completely revert the change. A person is a result of his choices multiplied by time. Victimizing itself is easy and a non adult way of dealing with life.
