When will I become obsessed with exercise?

I decided at the beginning of the year that I was going to lose this weight and I was going to give it 100% this time. I started by lowering my caloric intake and for the past 3 weeks I've been working out.
I've been reading people's blogs and watching their video journals in an effort to stay motivated to work out and everybody says they have gone through a phase where they are obsessed with working out. They look forward to it and can't go without it. Some have even stated that they love to work out.
I'm wondering when I will get to that point? I'll just be honest with you, I hate it. I don't like the feeling of discomfort. I don't like being out of breath. I don't like sweating. I have the attention span of a gnat so staying focused is difficult for me. I have to admit, I do like the way I feel after a workout (outside of the sore muscles). But, I just don't see this as anything I'll be addicted to or become obsessed with.
Please tell me if there is anyone out there that started this way and how long it took to "like" to workout.
