I sometimes feel that way too... I think the key is finding things you enjoy and can maintain. Pick activities that are fun for you, and don't necessarily feel like exercise, like rollerblading, swimming, volleyball, yoga. Once you get to your goal, you won't have to do killer workouts every day (hell, they don't ALL have to be killer workouts now), and learning to enjoy them makes it easier to look forward exercise rather than dreading it. When you workout, do you remind yourself about all of the thigns you can do now that your body wasn't capable of last week, month, year? Feeling good about what my body can do and not just how it looks has really helped me appreciate this process. Sometimes I "race" the person on the treadmill next to me or in spin class because it makes it fun and I know my body wouldn't have been able to keep up with them this time last year.

As far as logging food, I don't plan on doing it forever. But it doesn't really bother me. Someday's I have a lot going on, so it can feel like a hastle, but making better food choices in general has helped a lot. I notice that sometimes, if i have to wait until the end of the day to record everything and don't know where I'm at, my body has begun to become conditioned to eating at a certain numbers of cals. I'll feel full, log all my cals for the day, and see that my body stopped just where it was supposed to.

I think the purpose of MFP is to train you to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. Some people can train themselves very quickly, and don't need the site for long. Others, like myself, will be here for a few years, but eventually, I'm sure this new lifestyle will become so much a part of me that logging won't be necessary. I think the same will happen for you. AND you're doing wonderful girl! Don't stress, relax, eat good food, and move your body with a smile!
