contradiction for you.
Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.
DVD
or CD - Renovate Your Body In this entertaining presentation, Craig discusses the
notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious
ability to be able to get in shape for events (weddings, parties, reunions
and birthdays), if only we'd get in shape for life.

Don't you hate it when people get in your personal space?
Lately I've been besieged by people who feel compelled to stand on top of me when they talk to me.... and simultaneously kill me with their 'I-just-ate-poo' breath.
I always wonder, "if it smells like poo from here, what on earth does it taste like in there?"
"Do you have no olfactory senses at all?"
"Doesn't that layer of yellow crap on your tongue bother you... because, if you like, you can borrow my SPATULA to scrape it off!"
When I take the obligatory back-step to create the socially acceptable space (which all normal people do), they friggin' follow me!
We then start this pathetic dance, that I like to call, 'the Waltz of Evasion'.
I regularly grab people by the shoulders and actually hold them in the place they should stand in order to have a conversation with me.
For me, the appropriate distance (with people I'm not particularly familiar with) is a straight arm length.
Obviously the more familiar and comfortable I am with someone, the closer they can stand but for the bloke with the attrocious breath who tried to sell me some new protein bars for the gym the other day, the straight arm rule (S.A.R.) had to apply.
I stepped back, he followed.
I stepped again, he followed again.
We were just about to start the dance when I enforced the S.A.R.
I physically held him in place.
"I'm sure you're nice, but I don't want to be that close to you."
"Tell me about your protein bars from there."
He complied.
Most of us instinctively know how close we should stand to someone.
Nobody had to teach us.
We just know.
In the interest of those of us who do know, but regularly deal with those who don't, I've decided to develop some 'Personal Space Rules' which I'm sure will become the universal standard in no time.
Feel free to give a copy of these rules to your socially innept, space-invading, stinky breath acquaintances.
It works like this: Zone one. Zone one is where we communicate with our loved ones. There are no personal space restrictions for zone one relationships. Zone two. With a zone two relationship the S.A.R. does not apply. The people we let into zone two are usually our closer friends and if we had to put a distance on it, the acceptable proximity would be about half of the S.A.R.
Zone three. Whether or not the S.A.R. applies in zone three relationships is discretionary. Typically someone who qualifies for zone three in my world is someone I know, but not well. Those who are of the opposite sex, smell good and don't have yellow crap on their tongue would typically not experience the S.A.R. However, for the friendly, chatty bloke who sells me my newspaper every morning but spits on me with every second word, the S.A.R applies... and then some.
Don't get me started on the spitters.
Zone four. Zone four is where strangers live. They never get inside the S.A.R range. Other zone fourers typically include the spitters (soon to have their own blog on my site), the yellow tongues and those who desperately want to be in your zone one group.
If you've been having trouble with space invaders you might want to have these rules screen-printed on to a T-shirt and wear it all the time.
We don’t know why, but people go crazy for these shirts. Perhaps it’s because they allow us to tell people what we really think without wasting our breath! Order your shirt here.
