Mine are weight loss and letting go of anger. They are connected.

I'm battling for my LIFE.... 11 months ago I was diagnosed with TWO terminal illnesses... both are like living time bombs inside me... they can go off and end my life any second (especially since NO one felt I would even make it out of the hospital last October when I first showed the signs of the illnesses...heart and lung problems)... Anyway, I am fighting this battle not only with medicine and Monthly visits to both a cardiologist and my pulmonary doctor, but also with a kind of renewed attitude about life... I have learned to NEVER take a single second of life or anything IN that life for granted..... I do not sweat the small stuff and arguments are no longer a part of my life....I try to make myself and everyone around me happy at LEAST once a day, and every morning that I wake up I am THANKFUL to still be here. I know I won't WIN this battle, but I'm not going down without a fight....but when the time DOES come, I will meet it with dignity .....and I'm hoping it does the same for me. I will ultimately lose the battle, but I will have WON the war.

The personal battle , that I am right now in , is to overcome a sad internal feeling I am being hated or disliked by a brother in law of mine.
It hurts all of us , deep , when we find that we are hated by some , disliked by some . There are or may be reasons for their behaviour . But , still, the hurt remains inside. The is all the more when the hater is someone close to us in the family.
To think that I have a cause for someone to hate me so much is my pain now. However much I am prepared to accept mistakes , if any , the other person sees me as someone dispicable and that hurts me. I come to the feeling that I have done something serious to earn this.
I am determined to win . But , I know , I cannot wim him over . I can win over my sadness for sure . Afterall I know I did nothing wrong and if others perceive as a great sinner there is nothing that I can do.
Still it hurts . Hurts deep.

you know i feel you. I need to lose some weight and its not easy by any means. I gained alot of weight after i found out my ex had cheated. I got very angry and very depressed at the same time. so i just ate to take away the pain. I will be the first admit that i do still have that anger inside me. I try to push it out of me but that is also very hard. The best thing i have done to help myself out is go for walks. Not only does that help with the weight issue, but it helps to cool me off. Congrat on the weight loss so far. Keep up the good work!Good luck to you!

The battle of the 'bulge'. Turned 50 this year, and now weigh more than I did when I was pregnant with my last child, who is 16.
I have been giving 'lip service' to my increasing weight for the past 6 years. It is now time to shut up and step up.

I don't know you, and where you stand. But, I guess there is a self-rejection feeling that you've piled up on yourself because you're a little more than what you want to be on the weighing scale. And this as a matter of fact is affecting your mental stability, and forcing you to get irritated and angry, easily.
I would suggest you deal with the route cause for your short temper, and deal with it. Carrying a bottle of chilled water and peppermint, and gulping down the water, when you're going to blow is good therapy. Trust me.

I have quit smoking, it has been 7 mos., and lately it has been twice as hard than it was when I first quit, I was warned I would go threw this period and that it should pass pretty quick, I guess it is the equivalent of " the novelty wearing off " , so I have just been trying to work threw it one "fit" at a time.....

I have 2 battles actually.
One is to stop thinking mean thoughts about other people who I feel jealous over--an ex bf of mine made me feel very insecure about my looks and I feel jealous toward certain women who have the features that I think he likes (but I have no proof of it, it's my own insecurity).
Another one is to stop letting negativity overtake my feelings and thoughts and try to change my mindset and look on the bright side of things always. I'm slowly but surely changing my attitude and outlook on life.

None.
Most of my personal battles are behind me. I don't find the need to be at odds with myself or others or my environment. I tend to accept things, including my personal death, as they are in reality. Any energy that I would have used to fight is being used in a more positive way to accomplish changes.
The only thing that any of us can ever change is ourselves.
