Even though this is rather harsh I agree with the overall sentiment.

I like it. Suffering is rather a strong word choice, but I understand the geist of it. Maybe I don't like it.

That's horrible! Suffering? Ugh! What a horrible way to think of getting in shape and treating your body and mind. Suffering is a stress that takes a toll on people and it isn't uplifting. Living in misery; thinking of a lifestyle change as suffering isn't inspirational at ALL.

My lack of will power is the only obstacle that will keep me from reaching my goal.

she looks beautiful and vibrant from my perspective. I do think getting fit can be fun if you find the right path, so it isn't suffering but a fun worthwhile endeavor.
