“All the happiness you ever find lies in you"
I think in this life we all want to be happy, but many of us expect happiness to magically descend on us, like a dove from heaven. And many of us don’t know how to create happiness in our lives or the lives of those around us. Since I started my weight loss journey, I have realized that happiness is right at my fingertips, waiting for me to reach out and enjoy it. I know now that if I don’t make happiness a personal priority, happiness only appears by accident or as an afterthought. Life is too short for that. If you want to be happy or happier, aim for happiness. Being happy has helped me tremendously to loose my weight.

· Looking into my husbands eyes and seeing nothing but love shine back at me.

“ For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness”
