I have an exercise problem as well. I have never liked it. It makes me feel exposed. I have no skills. I can't swim. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Although it doesn't show and you'd never guess, too much exertion can make me sick and that makes my inflammation rate go sky high. I'm 75. Exercise to me is risk taking, not exercising is risk taking. Being nice to myself is not beating myself up about it.

Good point about risk taking. Perhaps being hard on ourselves is part of that as it’s so bad for our mental and emotional health. Love to you xx
*hugs* Well, when I find how to be nice to myself, I'll let you know.... xxx
