Why is it after a session?  Is it because you wish you would have started before?  I know that I got really, awkward after  going to the gym because I felt and was fat not muscle anymore, I decided to just workout and little by little I started to tell myself positive things like

I am going to get back into shape
I don't look good in these pants, so I am going to go to the good will store and buy myself something that I feel good in
I am going to lose weight

I find these really help me out.  Maybe it would be good for you to call someone right after the gym and talk to them.  I have a couple of girlfriends I speak too now.
