I guess it depends on the person, but for me (ED...food as only coping mechanism) it is really really hard. I used to say the same thing you just did, and I still do from time to time, but I'm slowly accepting that it is how I cope and all the shame tied into food and weight makes exercising a psychological war.
My point was take it easy on yourself. I find forgiving myself makes success a little closer to possible. Even though I probably only practice this maybe 40% of the time, but that beats my former 10%.
