Maybe I can help? I hate denying myself food, but love exertion.
IMHO exercise only works with proper motivation, and motivation is an art. Each painful workout can ...
- help me reduce weight
- make me more physically able to do things I love (this used to be summit days in the Andes - life's a bit less dramatic now, but it's always better to be able to say "sure, I'd love to...." vs. "I don't think I could."
- gives me the opportunity to empty my mind. I just don't do a good job worrying about things when I am exercising.
- gives me a burst of adrenalin and overall can-do good cheer. this is now medically documented; I can't imagine why people who have depression are not being semi-forced to exercise. It's a life changer.
- gets me to places I wouldn't otherwise go.
Exercise is body work. All work needs the specter of reward -- if your rewards are aligned to your exercise, it can be very motivating and inspiring.
