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.

NEWS FLASH: Life's Not Fair.... or is it?
I always marvel at people who constantly invest their emotional energy into the Life's Not Fair paradigm. Never really seems to be a great investment of time, energy or potential from where I stand. Doesn't appear to change anything for the better. If anything, it seems to put people in a dis-empowered, unproductive and negative place. But strangely, many seem to delight in their misery and their complaining. Maybe they don't actually want a solution but rather, attention. Just a thought.

candy girlSome people are perpetual victims of the horrible, nasty, unfair world around them. Listen to them and you'll soon discover that everyone and everything in their world is trying to destroy their life; the government, their parents, their boss, the petrol companies, the tax man and of course, God. While they are clearly perfect, apparently they live in an imperfect world hellbent on their destruction.

So with this in mind, I thought I'd pen a brief letter to the victims of this big, mean, nasty-ass world we all inhabit in the hope of clearing up a few issues. You may want to pass this on to someone you know. Or not.

Dear complaining, high-maintenance, pain-in-the-ass Victims of the World,

Hi, Craig here.


Thought I'd just give you a quick heads up on a few things which could make your life easier. And probably ours too. I think a little clarification is in order on a few key issues. I'll be brief and clear...

1. Life's not fair or unfair. Life just IS.

2. 'The world' owes you nothing.

3. You don't deserve success, you create it.

4. Selfishness... kinda ugly. Amazingly, it's not all about you.

candy girl5. Complaining and bitching... kinda ugly too.

6. The person who's making your life a misery... you.

7. People don't like to hang out with victims - you may wanna get yourself a PlayStation.


8. lf you're fat, you probably did it to yourself. Feel free to get mad at me for writing the truth. Clearly, I'm picking on you and being insensitive.

9. If you're in massive debt, you may have something to do with that too.

10. Some people won't like you. That's okay.

11. Bad things happen to good people. Get over it.

12. Self pity... not cool.

13. Things only have the meaning YOU give them.

14. Consider that you might be part of the problem. And the solution.

15. We still love you. We just hate your behaviour.

Love and Hugs,

Craig.
