and pseudo-science. Let Craig's Director of
Nutrition cut through the dietary confusion and
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.

Have you ever thought about your funeral? I have. Mine that is, not yours. Sometimes I wonder what it will be like. Who will be there, what they will say. Good stuff or bad? Will it be a sad or happy occasion? Will there be three people or three thousand? Or fifty perhaps? It's certainly not something that I dwell on (that would be creepy), but from time to time (usually when I'm at a funeral myself) I let my mind wander and consider what that day might be like. I hope by the time it rolls around I've done some good and made a difference. And I really hope there's a reason for my friends and family to be proud of who I was, and what I did in my lifetime. I hope they don't struggle to find something nice to say! That would suck.
"Aah, well... Craig was, he was...er, kinda.. chunky... yeah.. and he was good at.. bench pressing."
I've been to a few funerals where people seemed to struggle to find nice things to say about the person who has died. That's kind of sad don't you think? They seem to clutch at straws and rationalise, explain and justify his or her behaviour / existence. Imagine dying knowing that you won't really be missed. That's really gotta suck. Or perhaps knowing that, on some level, you wasted your talent, your time, your relationships, your opportunities, your life. Imagine dying with your music still in you.
Here for just a moment.
In the context of 'time' we're only on this planet for a moment, and in the overall scheme of things we are but tiny little specks on the face of humanity. In a way we're insignificant, but at the same time we're giants, if we choose to be. Of course I'm not talking about our physical size, but rather the size of the contribution we make to others; our brothers and sisters here on the big blue ball. The legacy we leave behind. That contribution might be on a 'family and friends' level, a community level, a national level or it might be something we do, which in some way has global implications. If we operate from the premise that life is ultimately about what we can give, (as opposed what we can get - the opposite of what 'modern culture' teaches), then we begin to move from selfishness to significance. And in focusing on the giving we become far richer (on every level) than we ever would have by focusing on the getting. Clever that. Selfish people rarely become rich. Generous people - often. And don't assume that people with loads of money are necessarily rich. Many of them are paupers; spiritually, emotionally and mentally bankrupt. Not all of course, but some.
Giants.
Some of the most seemingly insignificant people have become giants of humanity, not because of some pre-determined cosmic mandate, but because they did amazing things in their lifetime. They used what they had while others squandered and wasted their talent and opportunities. They swam against the tide. They thought, chose and acted differently to the majority. They found the lesson not the problem. They asked the right questions. They looked for meaning not approval, for constructive feedback not a cheer squad. While others were whining, they were winning. They were human and fearful like you and me, but they were brave in the face of adversity. Regularly. While others procrastinated, they did. While others talked about it, they made it happen. They weren't any more talented than you or I, but they grabbed life by the throat and shook the crap out of it.
Show up, suit up, shove off.
I don't know about you, but I don't want "just another life." I don't want to be number 8,371,140,562 on the list of people to have walked the earth. Get born, go to school, get married, have my 2.3 kids, get fat, work for fifty years, almost pay off a house, have a holiday every third year and then die. I want more than an existence. I want significance.
An amazing life by design.
I want an amazing, rewarding, spectacular, fulfilling, challenging, exciting life. Not because I deserve it, but because I will earn it. Because I will work for it. Because I will create it. I deserve nothing and I will earn everything. I may not be an exceptional person (in terms of gifts and talent) but I can become exceptional by what I do with my life and by how I use what I've been given. Exceptional means doing what the majority won't; the exception to the rule. I can choose to have an exceptional attitude, do exceptional things, create and live up to exceptional standards and produce exceptional results; an amazing life by design. And in doing so the 'average' person (all of us) becomes exceptional because he/she does what most won't. As I've shared many times, living our own amazing life is not about luck, fate, chance, destiny or opportunities, it's about choices and attitude. We build it. And if we don't take control of our life, it will take control of us.
No regrets.
Lately I've met and spoken with so many people who regret so many things. I don't want to live or die with regrets. I don't want to be the person who was always at the threshold of something great; the person who nearly did so many things. I don't want to be the perpetual victim, the procrastinator, the time waster or the big talker. I want to be the person who uses what he has, who gets the most out of himself, who grabs life by the throat and shakes the crap out of it. I might not win a Nobel peace prize, resolve world hunger or have any kind of global impact, but I will absolutely do the best I can with what I've been given. I will not die wondering, I will not waste my talent, I will not wait for the right time and will not live "just another life."
