Remember how buying school supplies at the beginning of a new school year made you actually want to do your homework? Same self psych applies regarding fitness. If you wear the oldest, ugliest, baggiest thing you can find in your home, you will always, consiously or subconsciously, rate working out lowest on your list of pleasures.
