 I'm United States, but I'm pretty sure this is global. This point:

Fifth: I'm out of shape, and deciding to join up would give me a concrete incentive to lose some weight and get in shape in order to meet the fitness standards.
The military is not a weight loss program, and you shouldn't treat it as such. There are fitness standards and if you want to join you should meet those standards (like not being a fatty, not necessarily being able to do 70 pushups which will just come in time), but you shouldn't even consider it a motivational point for joining. So when you're trying to justify this to yourself (which is the only person who really matters in all of this, not the the internet), don't include that. Then if you still want to join say to yourself, "Ok, now I need to get in shape."
