Ehhh... You answered your own question...? You have to force yourself. If you can't, then you're weak. You're weak because you don't really want it. You only want it a little bit.

Every men must undergo one of the two types of pain in life. The pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment.

Choose your poison. Also, im going to throw in another quote I really like.

Discipline is your most reliable ally.

Force yourself to do it and it will become automatic.

This shit is said over and over and I thought it was just something said to force you to do shit at first.

But when I started lifting, I half assed it a lot, One week i'd go 1 time, another 3, and another I wouldn't even go.

Then one day I said fuck it I'm going to the gym 3x/week on monday, wednesday and friday right after school.

It sucked for around 2 weeks then at the 3rd it kinda became natural for me to go the gym.

Force yourself to do things in a scheduled way, preferably with a cue (I go back from school, I immediatly dress for lifting and get out of the house).

Also don't try to be a hero, pick one thing at a time.

Reward system. To do what you actually really want to do, you have to do the things you HAVE to do but don't like first (like homework I suppose). Honestly, if you force yourself to do it long enough, you'll like it.

It gets to be a habit. It's difficult in the beginning but it gets easier and easier

Imagine your future self. Your present self wants to eat a snack and watch TV. Your future self wants to be strong and successful. Imagine how upset your future self is at your present self for ruining his physique and his wealth.
