I would go insane if I felt out of shape or unattractive. Everyone has a different comfort level. I would be a horrible mother and wife* if I felt out of shape or unattractive so I would prioritize my own fitness. But not everyone does or would.
*I am neither a mother nor a wife, but I know plenty of mothers and wives who hold down stressful jobs and are in fantastic shape. They somehow make it work. They have prioritized their own fitness.

I'm trying to look at your post with an open mind. My commute is 2 hours one way, and I often work weekends of late. Time I "prioritize" for fitness potentially could be time I could be spending with my children. That is not to say I may be using the commute, or long hours as an excuse. I'm just saying it is hard. And being compared to others "who have made it their priority" will not help me, I assure you.
I've tried to come up with creative solutions. Running in the am was one, running on the weekends on the track was another and I'm thinking about an elliptical. financially we have a lot going on so a gym membership might not be so prudent right at this moment.
