Do you ever get disappointed if goals aren't met?

Yes, absolutely. I think disappointment, discouragement, frustration -- there are all normal stops in the peaks and valleys of setting any goal. Either it's not like you thought it was, or you didn't get where you wanted to go, etc. It's okay to feel them, so long as you can then work with and around them, rather than stop there.

Like, it sucks when I can sit there at the end of the month, look at my failed goal, and see the exact reasons I didn't meet them. For instance, I have writing goals, and in February I didn't even come close to meeting them. I was bummed out, because it's not as though I was super busy. I just didn't do it. That sucks, self.

Then I said, "Okay, so here's March. Let's do better."

The same for weight loss. Feel disappointment, evaluate why you feel that way, and then look for the next step in meeting your goal. Action almost always makes you feel better.
