for me there's an element of "should" and "want" here. doin some exercise still feels very should-coded for me, which makes me resist it. 

kinda like a kid who's forced to eat veggies, and grows up to hate veggies, even tho if you eat enough veggies you begin to want and crave them cuz they make you feel great

This checks out. For a while I had enough of a routine that I really did want it, but that’s fallen too the way side. Now I’m working to get back there.
