How do you guys motivate yourself to get to the gym?

I am 200 lbs, 20M 6ft. Not ideal, for me at least.

Here is what I want:

I want a visible six pack (which means about 10% body fat).

I want larger arms and a more define chest.

I want less fat, not neccesairly less weight (if fat is replaced by muscle I will be happy).

I want both of these as quickly as possible because I am kind of putting my life on hold cause of this.

However, no matter how much I think I want it, I simply cannot get myself to go to the gym and oftentimes slip back into eating chipotle or whatever. Like I am not obese, but I weigh more than I want and I don't like my reflection. I have gone through some pretty big shifts in mentality and mindset recently and gotten over a lot of mental health burdens and issues I had so I am no longer embarrassed to step inside a gym, but I just hate working out. With a passion. I will take any excuse that I can to not do it. How do I get myself to not do that? How do I not make it feel like a chore and have to drag myself to the gym?

I feel like I am doing it all wrong as well. And that I am not eating right or doing the exercise right and all this effort is for nothing.

Here is what I am doing:

For food:

Two meals a day (trying to do low calories and IF to maximize fat loss).

Each meal is:

1/2 a plate of spinach leaves

1/4 a plate of white rice

1/4 a plate of tempeh mixed with a couple squirts of bbq sauce and seasoning

Topped with pecans

​

I have met with a trainer and he gave me a workout plan but I feel like I am doing it wrong or failing. What is a good, simple, easy to remember plan? How do I know if I am doing it right? If I use the right weight? How do I know this is all not in vain?

And most of all, how do I get myself to actually go to the gym? Advice would be appreciated.
