There’s definitely an important distinction between mentioning it in casual conversation vs getting a workout buddy / nutritionist / whatever to genuinely hold you accountable and support you.
I’m sure it also depends on personality. I used to assert it held me accountable too, but over the years I’ve had to admit that was delusion.
Apparently I’m very motivated by positive feedback and need to withhold it until I’ve actually done the thing.
Certainly not universal. We all gotta find our own way
