You are aiming for routine. Even if you workout 5 minutes a day it's fine.
Get dressed. Exercise. Shower.
Once you get used to the routine you will extend the time you workout. Routine routine routine routine.

It really needs to be stressed that ANY amount of time doing the thing you want to do helps building the routine. Many people don't understand that and still give up with something like "at least 5 minutes".
For example, if you want to go running every morning but aren't feeling it today even just changing into your running shoes is enough. Just put them on and think again about going on a run now that you put on the shoes anyways.
I want to stress it again: Just do ANYTHING towards your goal. Be consistent in building your routine no matter how little it is.

Get dressed for a run. Run ≥1 minute. Shower.
Repeat daily.
That's it. Once you get the routine going there's nothing to it. Build the routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine.

I also wanna add that people on Reddit (maybe with less depression than me) will say, "any type of workout will make you feel better." That is not my experience at all, and I got really disheartened when I was still miserable at the gym.
Now that I'm aware that can happen, I will be prepared, and I won't beat myself up if I still don't feel good. Because you're right. Doing it at all is what's important.

And 90% of them will quit within a week tops. Then the cycle continues!

Eat less, move more! You can do it!! I’ve lost 35lbs this year by eating under 2k cals a day and going for long walks. Seriously, you can do it. Calculate your TDEE online for more specific deets.

The gym will be super busy but don't let that discourage you. Most of the people you see in January won't be there in a few weeks and months.

The only thing that got to me to finally stop drinking the stuff. Sabra is easy to avoid because it's gross but giving up Coca-Cola kinof sucks lol. Other brands of cola just aren't the same.

Maybe you just haven't tried the right ones?
Here in germany there is Fritz Kola for example, which I like way more than coca cola.
