I used to not enjoy it too until I found something I genuinely was good at and was competitive: an indoor rowing studio. I now enthusiastically workout 5 days a week. And rowing is a very efficient use of my time, I burn roughly a calorie per row stroke. A 20 minute rowing session means very little dietary restrictions.

The big thing that worked for me was data. I weighed myself every day no matter what and even if I knew I was going over the calorie count for the day I logged it anyway.

For me that was when this vast mystery of diet was cleared. Once I saw how directly linked they were it became very easy to say no to things and it continues to do so.
