Why don't you get enough exercise?

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Most of us know we need to get more exercise, why don't we do what we know?

I am trying very hard to fix this... but I typically am at work for about 55 to 60 hours a week.

Because I'm a lazy fuck and everything I do seems to involve sitting on my ass .

For me its (usually) lack of "energy" not motivation exactly, since I think (at least right now, in the last month lets say) i think i'm fairly motivated, but I just get so damn TIRED all the time. Although its a viscous cycle since , the less exercise you get the less energy you have.

Because I am an idiot that stay's awake at night thinking of all the dumb shit I do, how easy I am to manipulate, and than I cry about it all...

I'm well skilled at the fine art of beating myself (well its more of just being bummed out) up and jogging in place / jumping jacks / whatever while having something random on the tv. Seems to cut down on the depression and gives me something to do during my 4+ nights a week of insomnia. Actually does help, when i manage to do it.

lack of motivation and lack of a future memory

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...*HUG* I am here if you ever want to vent.

For me personally I get tired, too busy, don't want to, exercise is not fun and sucks mostly...so no motivation to do it. But that has been changing some with taking martial arts.

I'm struggling with a health issue causing constant pain lately. It makes the couch seem like such a friendly place!

I don't exercise because I'm lazy. I haven't a great amount of discipline around any area of self-care because a) it requires effort, and b) I have severe issues with feelings of self-worth that fluctuate unpredictably at times. Being fat reinforces my negative self-image and sometimes I can deal with that in a way with which I feel more secure because its pain is more familiar. Happiness terrifies me. But I've been happy since Scott and I have been together and nothing catastrophic has happened yet. *crosses fingers, knocks on wood, waits for lightning to strike*

I love how exercise feels and if I'm even 20 lbs overweight I think I look terrible, yet I still don't get to the gym enough. I would say it's because I let everyone else spend my time in life, and when I'm not having the minutes sucked out of me, I end up having to take care of my own life.
