Most of my pleasures are BAD for me

The things I like to enjoy in life - drinking beer, eating cakes, smoking cigarettes (I gave that one up), staying up late, - they are bad for me to some extent.
But by contrast the things which are good for me - exercise, boring food, going to bed early - these are hard and often devoid of joy.
Can someone tell me why this is....PLEASE

Without looking at your profile, I'd say you find boredom in good things for you and joy in bad things -- because you are YOUNG!!!!
Wait until you're over 50, you may find great joy in being able to exercise (or just to walk without assistance)-- wondrous flavor in boring foods, and deep pleasure in going to bed (to sleep) early!

I agree with you to some extent. I love eating fatting foods and yest they are bad for us all. I do like to stay up late but I can sleep in also.
I do like to exercise in the pool but that is only a few months a year because the rest of the year it is to cold.
I think part of the problem is our state of mind, we need to think of veggies, and all the good stuff for us is also the things we love and the way we want to live. The things that are bad for us is things we hate and do not want anymore. We need to tell ourselves mayo is bad, fat free mayo is good, 9pm bed time is good, 1am bed time is bad, ice cream is bad yucky and fat free sugar free ice cream is godd yum. Exerciseing everyday yayaya we crave it.
