@anylene fwiw, I hated the gym a lot less after losing weight. besides the mental aspect, it's just physically uncomfortable and even painful sometimes to exert yourself if you're carrying more than a few pounds of excess fat. bending over sucks, squatting sucks, anything that squished my belly fat would in turn push on my organs and make it hard to breathe. anything high-impact would hurt not my boobs, which were locked down pretty well, but my stomach and thighs and butt. I'd tire out much faster too, because almost everything you try to do is more difficult when you're carrying extra weight. it'd be like a low-body-fat person wearing a weight vest.
I quit the gym for other reasons but now that I'm back at a lower weight, it's remarkable how much easier almost every exercise is.
