I see you at my gym. Yes, you. I know what you are up to. I might have done it once or twice myself.
You exercise hard, doing things you hate. You exercise because you are supposed to. You’ve got to lose weight. You’ve got to flatten your abs. You’ve got to get more fit. But mostly, really, truth be told, you exercise because you are punishing yourself.
Be honest. It’s punitive. You are punishing yourself for that weekend binge, that unplanned cookie at work yesterday, that extra 10 pounds you have to lose. And you tell yourself you will atone for your nutritional sins by pounding harder on the treadmill. And you hate the treadmill!
