What lie do you repeatedly tell yourself?

I feel similarly as you do about doing things one at a time. But I notice that it is hard to even do just one thing.

I've been trying to eat healthier for about 4 months. Honestly, I absolutely hate it. I hate the food. It tastes like crap. No vegetable will ever be as tasty as a pizza. I don't feel any different eating better, like not more energy, nothing like that, and weight loss is slow, about 15lbs in 4 mos.

So about 2 mos ago I figured well this is not really that great let me go work out.

Found out that the only 2 exercises I enjoy are gardening (I move big rocks around a lot, dig large holes, it is really a decent workout if you're doing it for 2-3 hours) and swimming.

Can only do so much gardening, and no pools nearby. Absolutely loathe every other form of exercise, never feel better after it, never feel like it was worth it.

I dunno how people do this stuff long term like do you just enjoy suffering or feel like it is worth it? I legitimately feel like it would be happier to just eat what I want and die young then live miserably as I do now.
