Looking for advice!

In a little over a year I'll be 40. I'm unmarried, single, childless, and friendless. I'm depressed and overweight. Overdue for a promotion. Still renting. I've been working on all 8 things for the past 5 years, trying to make some improvement, but I'll make a few steps forward and then take several steps back. Why??? My life is not as terrible as it seems, btw, but what gives?

Work on the weight. Concentrate your efforts on that. When you reach your goals confidence will follow. Also get help for the depression, depression and unhealthy weight often go hand in hand. I feel your struggle friend.

@Lilliesandlight Yeah, you're right. I was working hard on my weight a few months ago but then I had a surgery and not long after that a cancer scare. Since all that I gained more weight.

@blindbob oh gosh are you ok? No cancer, right?

@Lilliesandlight I'm fine. It was my thyroid so that is making weight loss harder.
