Physical activity make you generate hormones that push you to continue doing it, weight management through food intake does the contrary, weight management through increased activity has much better long term results than going on a diet.

I don't experience this at all. I don't enjoy working out at all even after years of doing it consistently. I still have to force myself every time.

Same, I work out like I'm taking medicine. It might be my least favorite activity, but I know it's good for me so I've been trying to push through

Maybe you're just not doing something you enjoy so it counteracts the effect of endorphins and adrenaline?
