I think part of this is a result of growth being this arduous task. For sure, changing one's life let alone improving it takes time and effort, but some romanticize the process and project those expectations even more.

Health especially what with so many extreme diets and now getting special injections like Ozempic.

I know Ozempic isn't a weight loss method for every day people, but a lot of society treats it and views it as such.
