Yes, I'm like this. Oh, actually you meant the reverse. :)
However, I do want to eat more when I'm regularly exercising, even though apparently that's not the approved response. One reason it's difficult to keep exercising regularly is that I know that even when I get to the point where what I'm now doing is easy and I don't feel miserable doing it, I'll have to push things until I do feel miserable or I won't be getting the benefit of exercise! There's no end to it; the task is never actually done; you have to continue to make yourself miserable 3-4 times a week, forever. That's very discouraging.

You only have to push yourself if you want to keep improving your performance, and if that's your mentality, you will start to get weird satisfaction out of the misery, which compensates for the... misery aspect of the misery.
