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.

We know that our decisions determine our behaviours, which in turn determine what kind of results we're producing in our world. We also know that when it comes to addressing the big stuff in our life, sometimes we'd rather not make a decision, than make one. Making a (significant) decision often means dealing with those things which will make us uncomfortable, fearful and/or vulnerable; all the things we do our best to avoid. This can be something of a dilemma because on the one hand, we want to produce amazing results in our world but at the same time, we tend to gravitate towards familiarity, comfort and safety - all the things that don't produce positive change and aren't consistent with personal growth.
Choosing not to Choose
The simple truth is that by not making a decision, we are making a decision. We are choosing to do nothing. Choosing to put our head in the sand. Choosing to live a reactive rather than proactive existence. People who don't make decisions until they are forced to (via a situation, circumstance or event) have chosen (consciously or not) to live a reactive life. And a reactive life is like a ship without a rudder. Floating but not steering. Not consciously or proactively moving towards a destination. Just being pushed and shoved by its environment. And eventually, crashing on the rocks and sinking.
Any Moment Now...
Of course, we're always about to make some kind of reality-altering decision. Always at the threshold of something spectacular... but incredibly, it's never today. Because for some mysterious reason, now is never the right time. Sure we plan a lot and talk a lot, but so many of us rarely deliver. I know people who have almost been doing things for years. Decades even. You know them too. You might even be them. Almost getting in shape. Almost starting a business. Almost dealing with their addiction. Almost fixing their damaged relationships. Almost taking control of their life... and almost using their potential.
Scaredy Cats
The truth is that many of us spend much of our lives not making the decisions we could and should because on some level, the practical reality and the potential short-term consequences of those decisions scare us. Most long-term gain involves a little short term pain and we are scaredy cats. Yes, there are better and worse times to confront and deal with issues in our life (and make decisions about them) but so often we go for the less intelligent option. The less intelligent option usually being what makes us comfortable. Comfortable... for the time being anyway. Strawberry Jam Thanks
Unfortunately our propensity to live in the moment and not make decisions to shape our future is what keeps us stagnant, frustrated and under-achieving in the long term. When it comes to the incidental, day-to-day stuff.. we're great at making decisions. "I think I'll wear the blue socks today... and I might just have some toast with jam for breakfast..." Thrill seeker. Crazy kid. But when it comes to the stuff that shapes our life, we're crap (sometimes at least).
So my questions for you on this Monday are...
1. What decision/s do you need to make today?
2. When will you stop waiting for the mystical, magical (fictional) 'right time' to do what you should have done long ago? 3. When will you start living a proactive rather than reactive life?
And remember... by not making a decision today you are making a decision.
