I was just thinking about what I've learned about myself in the past couple of years, and how I could possibly take advantage of this knowledge.

I lose weight when I am under stress.

Obviously, being under a lot of stress is bad for your health.  However, being overweight is as well.  So, being too contented is as risky as being too stressed. 

Lesson:  Somehow manage to keep a level of stress in my life to manage my weight better.

I can motivate myself easier when I am angry.

This is a very strange thing, and I am only very rarely angry.  But if I do get mad, or I'm really frustrated, I find that I can do chores and other things that I normally put off doing without a problem.  Why does it take such an extreme emotion to get me motivated? 

Lesson: Force myself to do stuff that I don't want to do, which will make me frustrated and/or angry, which will make it easier to do more stuff.
Lesson 2: Do this long enough until doing stuff is a habit, and then hopefully I don't need this personality bug.

I like to be in denial about it, but honestly, I can live in denial for a long time.

There are certain things that I won't allow myself to realize.  Without going into details, I need to recognize that I sometimes live in denial about things (like my health or bad news or whatever) for way too long. 

Lesson: I need to get better at accepting the bad news and moving on.

I'm bad at following a schedule or developing good habits.

This is obvious, but incredibly hard to change.  Sometimes, I think this is a strength, because it lets me use my time adaptively.  However, it also means I can ignore things I really to do for hours, days or longer.

Lesson: I need to work on regimenting my lifestyle more.
