I hate being overweight. My husband said he didn’t mind, but I knew he still hoped I had a beautiful body. Everything from my waist(腰部) to my legs was overweight. Finally, just after Christmas last year, I decided that something had to be done.

I met Dr. Wallace, and she told me I had to stop eating fast foods. It was very hard for me because I was eating them three of four times a week：pizza，hamburgers，whatever I could get. But I said to myself at the start that I would try my best to do it—and I did. I even gave up the booze—something I used to have two glasses of it with dinner.

My best friend, Rachel Waterman, said I had to walk 10,000 steps every day. That was very hard for me at the beginning. I was used to driving everywhere, but I started to walk everywhere instead. I walked in the morning before work，and I usually took a walk in the park with my husband after work. Now I never go to bed until I’ve done my 10,000 steps.

Six months has passed, and I made it. Last week, my husband bought me an MP4 as a gift.  the weight is wonderful—I feel like a different person now, and I can buy my favorite clothes in the shops. I am so proud of myself because everyone thought I wouldn’t be able to make it including myself.

I love my new body, and I’ll never let myself go back into my old ways.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they arewealthy, with the money they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.

Here are a few ways to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
