I have beat all odds in my life things from where I shouldnt be able to walk to where I should even be dead but I just cant seem to have a happy life or loose my belly. I guess we cant have it all.

    Don't get caught up in everyone's version of happiness, you create the happiness that works for you. As far as the weight goes, keep working at it and you will lose it. Don't give up and keep working at it. It didn't get on there overnight and it sucks trying to lose it slowly and at a healthy pace to keep it off and make being healthy your new lifestyle. Soon enough though you'll look back and see how far you have come and it will be worth it.

    happiness is more attitude than anything...change your thought process. When those negative thoughts/feelings come about, replace them with positive ones. Also consider giving up sugar...I used to have bouts of depression, but have not since giving up sugar!

    I totally agree with applebobbrush! My mom used to say "If at first you can't succeed, try, try again!" I think it applies to almost everything! Keep at it and you will see! And if you focus more on trying to make other people happy instead of on yourself, you'll be surprised what happens!

    In your profile, you lists a lot of loves. Pursue them! Do what you want to do in life instead of what you "have" to do. Building a happy life takes some time. I experienced some deep depression in 08-09 and it lingered throughout 2010 too. I'm finally feeling like life is good again, but it took a lot of work and buildling. Think positively about what you want and pursue it!
