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.

Yes, I know this post is up early. I'm about to head up to the Darwin for a day, so early it is.Enjoy your weekend Groovers... and I really hope this woman (the one in my post) doesn't visit my site anytime soon. It's all true, but it could be kind of uncomfortable if she reads this and I bump into her again. Oh well.
I just had a conversation (of sorts) with a woman who is very angry about the proliferation of fast food oulets in her area. I was at the corner shop buying my paper when she accosted me. She had seen me on TV this week and felt compelled to tell me about what is happening in her suburb. Lucky me. Snorkel Anyone?
You know when angry people get on a roll about something and they begin to spit? That's what she did. Yep, lucky me indeed. She was like one of those frickin' multi-directional sprinklers. An industrial one. With hair on top. And a little too much make-up. It wasn't pretty. Fortunately, I'm waterproof. I do wish I had taken my raincoat and snorkel though. She actually spat on my chest three times mid-tirade and I was almost too scared to wipe it off. I didn't want to break eye contact. She could have somehow interpreted my wiping as support for the fast food nasties (she was in quite a state). And quite large. And scary.
Don't mention the donut folk!
Apparently she's mad at the burger people, the chicken joints, the pizza places, the soft-drink (soda) companies and don't even mention the donut folk!! Yep, allegedly her suburb is going down the toilet and it's all because of those nasty-ass, health-destroying, fat-inducing, evil companies who are single-handedly killing humanity as we know it. And I thought obesity had something to do with personal choice. What was I thinking?
Oh Please.
What is that in the corner of your gob?
Talk about over-reactive, melodramatic, delusional crap. Talk about avoiding personal responsibility. Talk about wasting energy and getting yourself into an unproductive emotional state. Talk about annoying the crap out of those around you (me) with your anger, your whining, your horrible attitude, your toxic personality and your determination to 'blame someone'. And I wouldn't even dream of bringing up that lump of white stuff that you had stuck in the corner of your mouth for your entire messy monologue. That would be somewhat embarrassing for you, so I would never mention it.
Oops.
Pointless Ranting
I don't really understand (or have time for) angry people who seem more concerned with finding fault (blaming someone or something) than finding solutions. If all that emotion was moving you towards some kind of positive outcome then I'd be interested but when it's just pointless ranting, I'm outa there. I considered telling the big, angry spitter what I thought but she didn't want to talk with me, she wanted to talk at me. She wanted to vent.
So I wiped myself down and left.
Of course I'm not a fan of fast food companies either but I would never blame them for my fat self or my fat kids. Sure their products are crap. Perhaps we shouldn't buy them? There's an idea. They (the fast food companies) ain't going anywhere 'cause we (society) keep choosing to eat the stuff. As long as we choose to put crap in our mouths, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
So what was the net result of the Angry Spitter's tirade?
1. She raised her blood pressure and heart rate, increased her cortisol production and whipped herself into a state of mild anxiety and distress. And all her anger and ranting amounted to zero positive change.
2. She slagged all over me. Icky.
3. The fast food companies will be around for longer than her. Especially if she stays that angry.
4. She gave me something to write about. See, always finding the good!
As most of you know, I've been both in shape, and fat. And I mean F-A-T... not chubby, full-figured, voluptuous, heavy-set, stocky or big boned. And when I was fat, it wasn't because of the fast food companies, the clever marketing, my busy schedule, the business lunches, my genetics or my lack of education, it was because of the poor decisions I made, and the things I did to my body over an extended period of time. That's it. It was all about me. I did it.
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.
