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.

Off the back of yesterday's post, I had a bunch of people (okay, maybe ten) say to me that if it was them who had the conversation with dear old Marj (my buddy from the plane), they probably would have been hurt and offended by what she had to say. My response was "really?" It didn't even occur to me that she was being offensive - because she wasn't (to me). Neither did I realise that perhaps I should have been emotionally scarred by her comments (Craig the removalist). I honestly didn't feel offended for even one nanosecond. I simply found her perspective and thoughts to be fascinating, honest and refreshing. Hilarious even. I love to see how others see (if you know what I mean). Call it field research. The world is my class room, life is my teacher and yesterday Marj taught me not to take myself too seriously and that my reality is only my reality. Oh yeah... and that I'm not built like a writer. And that wearing a me-dot-com shirt is vain. Too funny.
The Gap Between Interesting and Offensive
Isn't it interesting to know that my fascinating and interesting can be someone else's offensive and hurtful; what will amuse me, will hurt someone else's feelings? If things only have the meaning we give them (and they do), then surely a comment, reaction, behaviour or opinion from someone else can only be offensive to us if we let it be. Right? So that would make getting offended (or not getting offended) something that we can control, wouldn't it? Maybe even a choice (with practice)? Surely getting offended isn't really about what people say or do, but about how we interpret, process and react to those events and words. Of course some words will be more likely to offend, but a positive, negative or neutral response still comes down to individual interpretation and reaction.
Unreal Reality
In reality (the one we create in our head - there is no universal reality), you and I taking offence has very little to do with others and everything to do with us. That's why different things will offend different people; it's completely personal. We have rules and standards (consciously or not), which determine what will offend us and what won't. We also have rules about who will offend us and who won't. Have you ever noticed how you give some people much more rope (that is, choose not to get offended), while with others, (perhaps someone close to you) you have them on a very tight rein? Different rules? While some people are constantly finding new and creative ways to get hurt because on some level there's a pay-off for them (attention, sympathy, leverage), others seem to sail through life without becoming a victim every time someone looks sideways. People can only hurt us (emotionally) if we give them that permission; if we let them. And curiously, some people seem to delight in handing over that power.
I hope you're not one of them.
