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.

If there's ever a time when we incredibly cerebral beings have a tendency to over-think, over-analyse, over-complicate and over-react, it's Christmas. Specifically, Christmas day. We make the easy, hard and the simple, complicated. People do weird things on this day. Oh yes, you know what I mean; remember that thing last time with your mother (dad, sister, brother, husband, wife, etc.). While Christmas day should/could be a time of cheer, celebration, connection and care (like any day, if we choose to make it such), for some of us it has (unnecessarily) become one of the most stressful, emotional and at times, sad days of the year. Why? Because that's what we create. Our internal reality becomes our external reality; the theory becomes our practical experience. We make it happen. We create misery. We expect a bad day and we get it. We talk ourselves into anxiety and stress. We believe that a positive or negative experience is all about 'the day' when in reality, it's all about us in that day; how we think, cope, react, communicate and behave. This is just another example of our mind getting in the way of our potential. Our potential for fun, happiness, joy and connection.
Misery is a Mindset
"But Craig, you don't understand my situation, circumstance, family or history." Well, I do understand one thing; the only thing you can really change (control, manage) is you. So you best learn to do that effectively, or you could be in for some pretty ordinary times. Misery is a mindset, not an external reality. And no, I'm not for one moment suggesting that we don't have real issues, problems, challenges and even tragedies to deal with, but what I am saying is that those things don't need to dictate our internal experience or determine our emotional state. One of my friends who is battling cancer (hugs for you Michelle) will have a good Christmas day this year because she's committed to that, just as some people are committed to their misery, their self-pity, their resentment and their anger.
It Ain't About the Calendar
How could a day on the calendar (which this year happens to be a Thursday) possibly determine whether we have a good or bad day? It can't. But you and I can. Because of our insecurity, our over-sensitivity and our fear (of a bunch of things), some of us misinterpret situations, circumstances, conversations and other people and we look for reasons to get hurt. Some people go into the day with a negative mindset. "I hate Christmas day", I've heard plenty of people say recently. You've heard them too. You might even be them! I always ask, "how can you hate a day?" When we de-emotionalise and de-construct that sentence, we begin to realise how irrational, self-pitying, destructive and stupid that mindset is. Who or what determines a good or bad day? You and I. Unless we hand over that power to someone or something else.
So if, in the next few days, you find yourself slipping into a little Christmas negativity, come over to my place and I'll slap you.
