You are too far gone. Just give up

n-never
keep working out

If it's not uncomfortable you aren't doing it right. You might feel sore the next day but that's mostly cause you're new to it.
Even if a regular fitness person stops doing squats for two weeks, you best believe his legs are gonna hurt then next time he does them.

The soreness is the best part.
>>41276338
Embrace the pain. Change your mindset, that pain is how you feel it's working. It's the feeling of improvement.

But how do I love the pain? I'm not a masochist.

I don't think it's supposed to hurt as much as you make it seem. Lose some weight first I guess? Just take it easy and aim for 1-5lbs per month.
>>41276338
push yourself
once you get used to the pain after a week or so you will become physically and mentally addicted to working out and general self improvement

It takes time. Get back to working out, and when you're sore, just think that this means it's working. Don't pussy out because it's a little painful, keep going.
Are you going to be the faggot who can't stick with something because it hurts a little, or are you going to be the guy who works through the pain?

But I did it before, I even did a month of daily exercise and didn't become "addicted" to it. Of course it was long ago, but for some reason I can't bring back the motivation.

Suck it up. Strong men aren't created out of thin air. This is a meme on /pol/ for a reason and a good one at that.

Pain means progress
>>41276338
>Why am I like this?
Because you're human and humans are adverse to suffering and effort
>How to fix myself?
Endure suffering and discomfort until you reach your goal

If humans are adverse to suffering and effort, why is it healthy for the body to work out? Shouldn't it be pleasurable? Does your brain works against you?

>why is it healthy for the body to work out?
because it expends less calories which helps you stay alive longer in evolutionary terms
>Shouldn't it be pleasurable?
No, though Adrenalin can produce euphoric effects
>Does your brain works against you?
Your brain works however you teach it to. Habit creates less to no discomfort because you've shaped your hormonal and brain chemistry response
