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.

Never Quite There Have you ever noticed how some people are never happy with how they look? Doesn't matter how fit, how lean, how muscular or how shapely they are, it seems they always need to be just a little leaner or lighter. And if they're a bloke, probably a little bigger in the gun department. Here's a statement you won't hear too often "yep, really happy with how I look at the moment, don't wanna change a thing." Not gonna happen.
The Fat/Happiness Correlation
Of course we all understand that there's a undeniable relationship between low body-fat and happiness, so it's no wonder that so many are hell-bent on being just a little trimmer. Allegedly some people are only a few kilos of weight and a few percent of that nasty-ass fat away from nirvana. And if a body-fat level of twelve percent will make us mildly happy (apparently it does), then eight percent must make us uncontrollably delirious. Imagine if we could get to five!
Yes it sounds ridiculous but it's actually how some people think. And more than you might imagine. I am constantly talking to people who have healthy, fit, strong, lean, functional bodies... which they are unhappy with. A once healthy pursuit has become an unhealthy obsession. They have lost perspective. This is the point where focusing on exercise and diet moves from being a positive to a negative. Discipline (in control); good. Obsession (out of control); bad. Wanting to be in shape is healthy. Intelligent even. But obsessing about one or two kilos or two or three percent... stupid and unhealthy. Destructive.
Some of us need to re-allocate some time and energy away from the body obsession and invest a little into our emotional and psychological health. Despite what some people would tell you, killer abs and skinny legs don't necessarily equate to happiness, contentment, inner peace, self-esteem or enlightenment. In fact, I could be somewhat controversial and tell you that some of the most attractive people with the most amazing bodies... are often the most insecure and emotionally fragile people you could meet. I know, I've worked with them.
As long as we continue to strive for love, approval, acceptance and significance via our body, then we'll continue to set ourselves up for failure and pain over the long term. And as long as our self esteem, our sense of self worth and our identity comes from how we look, we'll always be insecure.
When will (some) people realise that our body is not who we are, it's just where we live?
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.
