Diet and exercise are some of the most important things you can do for your body.
I have to watch my diet very carefully. My stomach had become extremely touchy, and I find it hard to eat any kind of greasy or sweet foods that American cuisine is so laden with. Although it's been hard and I still sometimes have cravings for these kinds of foods, I keep consumption to a minimum...it doesn't hurt that I still feel sick to my stomach after eating a candy bar or pizza.
Anyways, my point is that as hard as it may be to make a lifestyle change--especially in diet--eventually cravings subside and you can't believe what gross stuff you used to eat.
Exercise is the same way--after you do it for a while you can't imagine how you got by before. Sure, it may be "boring", but I tend to view it as more of a meditative thing--something I get to do that doesn't require me to think. It's nice to just concentrate on the physical aspect of what you're doing and let your mind relax for a change! (A portable CD player can also help relieve you from boredom and the stress of whirling thoughts.) I wish I had more time to exercise.
People are unhealthy, by and large (and barring real disease), because they don't want to put forward the effort to become healthy. While the results may be slow in coming, they are lasting, and it's amazing how much better and energetic I feel when I eat right and exercise regularly.
What in all the world is more important than your health?
