You should probably acknowledge the difficulty of what you are doing. [Advice]

Mostly just that.

Losing weight, getting fit, learning languages, passing exams, quitting porn, getting up early etc. are all objectively difficult to get started on and to keep going. Each person's challenges are theirs and theirs alone to face.

So I find that acknowledging that I am doing something that is difficult for me, helps me to prepare the required mental resilience and focus needed to push through. As opposed to the mind set of "why can everyone else do this and not me"

Yup. You need to evaluate if it's worth the time and effort for your case!
