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.

Recently I was asked this question in an interview:
"Why do most people who join gyms, start running programs, change their diet and set new lifestyle goals, appear to fail in the long term?" (The vast majority do fail, by the way).
My Answer? "Because they don't finish what they start."
Many of us are perpetually stopping and starting some kind of a new fitness, weight-loss or nutritional program... getting on and off the fat-loss, merry-go-round.
Some of us do it for a lifetime. There's an exercise in frustration right there. I know people who start again every Monday. That's gotta suck.
I think the interviewer was looking for something a little more technical. Some scientific breakthrough perhaps. Because we need more of that. She was disappointed, but actually, it is that simple - we don't persevere, we give up. And all the talent, potential, resources and opportunities will amount to zip, if we consistently throw in the towel.
Yep, it's true; the majority of us spend much of our lives starting and stopping a myriad of endeavours, only to end up back where we started, or worse. Sure, we get in shape. Then we get out of shape. It's what we do.
"No really, I'm doin' it, this time" "Sure you are Pinocchio"
Sound familiar?
Forever change (what we want) doesn't come without Total Commitment; a foreign concept to many of us. We don't deal in 'total commitment; we deal in 'moments of motivation.' Motivation doesn't produce forever results; it's temporary. As it comes and goes, so do the results.
Total commitment keeps us focused, proactive and creating results even when the motivation ain't there!!
When I'm looking for a new employee or someone to partner with on a project, I don't look for the 'motivated person', I look for the 'totally committed person'; someone who has completely bought into the vision of what we're about and where we're heading.
When you have totally bought into something (physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially, practically) you will always find a way to succeed. You will get the job done. While others fall by the wayside, you will remain. Your commitment leaves you no choice. Real commitment gives you stability. Confidence. Momentum.
Getting in shape (for life) ain't about program design, genetics, rowers, striders, fat-blaster tabs, treadmills or carbs after three... it's about our ability to finish what we start; our level of commitment. Just like building a successful business is not about how clever we are, what we know or where we went to college. Sure, they are issues... but they are not the issue.
A little over a year ago I didn't even know what a blog was but because Johnnie and I are totally committed to the project, I know it will work. It is working. Not because we're clever or talented (okay, he is) but because we won't give up. We will persevere. We have made many mistakes and encountered many... 'lessons' along the way but because we are totally committed to our vision for this site, we don't think about 'quitting', we only think about how to keep moving forward. How to find a way.
I personally know several people who have started their own blog over the last year. People with as much, if not more talent, than me. Clever people who can talk a good game. They got all excited for a while (motivation) but when the reality of creating and growing a successful blog over the long term set in (constant hard work), they were found wanting (no commitment). And now, no blog.
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
Some of us live a life of cycles: In shape, out of shape. Fit, fat. Doing, not doing. Motivated, demotivated. In the 'zone', on the couch. Up, down. On, off.
Are you tired of it yet?
If you want to experience some real change in your world, I'm suggesting that you find some real commitment.
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.
