The funny part is that some people early on told me "no, you need to enjoy going or you'll stop". Those people stopped going to the gym, whereas I've been going strong almost 2 years straight and managed to lose 75lb. Fuck toxic positivity bs. It's fine to hate going, it's fine to hate working out. You just be honest about your feelings and do it anyways. But lying to yourself just makes it so much harder to stay when you just can't keep up the lie
I couldn't agree more and you're only the second person I've ever seen espouse this. You don't have to like working out. I find it far more helpful to be honest about that and acknowledge I only like the results, not the process itself. I'm far more liable to be consistent this way because I'm in no danger of sensing I'm in a lousy mood and skipping training because of that.
