It's so easy to tell yourself that you will be happy WHEN....When you lose weight.  When you get a better job.  When your kids stop screaming.  When you have more money...etc.  The problem is...you will always have problems!  Once you lose the weight, you will find something else to replace that "WHEN" and the happiness never comes.  Instead of wishing your time away being miserable...be happy NOW!  Be "in the moment."  Be present in your own life and find the joy that is there despite the weight, the job, the money, the kids...the problems.  Problems are inevitable...happiness is a choice.
