You won’t get fit by reading a magazine. You won’t lose weight by looking at articles on the internet. You won’t change your habits by buying a book.

There is only one way to make a change, and it’s not the easy way… You have to make an effort. You have to make a BIG consistent effort over a long period. There is no easy way. Discomfort will have to become your friend if you want to make a major change to your habits. And you can’t make exceptions like ‘I’ve been good, I’ll just have a rest today.’

No exceptions, no excuses, you have to make a commitment and stick to it, otherwise don’t even start.

Imagine if you were an explorer heading for the North Pole. Do you think you could stop after a couple of weeks and just take it easy? Of course not! Well treat your goal just as seriously. Honour your big mouth and fulfill your promise to your self.

The fear of reality can make you blind to your reflection.

A fat man looking in the mirror will generally tell himself that he is not fat, he is big. This of course implies that he has strength and power. Get on the right angle, breathe in a little, subdue the lights and it’s amazing how good you can look.

Most overweight men justify their problem this way. They even go further and accuse women who are much smaller than them, of being overweight.

Men have a lot of problems with their ego. Many spend their lives boosting the ego and boasting of their imagined prowess. Alcohol tends to make it worse. This is why bars are full of strutters and posers, men who have got nothing going for them except a twisted memory of imagined former glories.

Stop pretending, face reality and do something about your shocking state of health… or die.

Good health tips from an old man

If I don’t like what I am, how my body looks or what I’ve got and I don’t do anything about it, who’s fault is it?

If I want to lose weight, get fit or change my eating habits and I don’t, who’s fault is it?

You can find all of the excuses in the world, but unless you are willing to commit and then make a consistent effort, you will be left with the same old problem.

If you don’t like a situation and you don’t change it, then you are either lazy or you don’t really mind the problem as much as you pretend to.

If you have a problem, either shutup and live with it or fix it! It’s simple.

I wonder why men who inject themselves with steroids really believe that they are masculine. Can’t they see that they are dumb facades acting like men? If they were really masculine they would not need chemical props.

A real man does not have to pretend or hide behind a facade. Real men don’t have to have useless muscle and bulk. And real men are happy within themselves, they have nothing to hide and are content with what they are.

Steroids not only produce strutting, brainless apes, they create angry, vindictive and nasty people (with ugly pimples on their back). There is no health or fitness about it, it’s heavy, useless muscle posing as masculine power.

Behind every steroid ape, there is a wimp hiding in the dark.

Talked to someone who just came back from a cruise. He had spent 11 days eating and reading. He put on 4.5 Kg. He did not need this extra, he was already well oversize.

However he justified it by saying: ‘It was wonderful, I needed the rest’, ‘It was very relaxing’, ‘It was great to just sit around all day’, ‘I deserve the break, I worked hard for it’.

Plenty of justification but no sense. If a holiday creates problems, where is it’s value? If you think unwinding your mind requires stuffing your body, you are on the wrong track.

A holiday should rejuvenate your body. You should re-energise it with extra exercise so that you go home with more energy, not less.

I think holidays for most people, are just excuses to be lazier than they are in daily life!

If you find fitness is too difficult to achieve, have ever thought about flexibility? Stretching is a great way of loosening your body so that it still functions well and can cope with the rough road of the every-day.

Not everybody needs muscular strength, most only need to be flexible.

Go online and look for some simple stretching routines that you can do everyday. 10 minutes, twice a day will do you an amazing amount of good. You will find that it clears your mind and relaxes a lot of your tension.

So if you are too busy to get fit, why not sit down and become flexible?

Life is not always user-friendly. It regularly slaps you on the face, kicks you in the bum and twists your arm up behind your back.

Most people take offence at this constant onslaught. “Why me?”, “Just my luck!” “It’s not fair!” Nobody is exempt. Most will deny that they are in constantly difficult circumstances because of their own pride or afraid that it will make them look like failures.

Unfortunately all of the complaining in the world will not stop this constant battering. It is the nature of life. You have to learn to take the blows and keep your mind focussed on the life you want. It will only make things worse when you complain because then you blind yourself to new opportunities.

It’s simple, shut up, learn to take a blow and keep your mind and heart focussed on your dream.

Getting old is no reason to get stupid. What’s wrong with a few wrinkles? Does it really matter if you are no longer the belle of the ball? Of course it doesn’t! There’s more to life than being a foolish young person… you can enjoy it just as much by being an idiotic old person.

Just because the years have left you looking like a dried out apricot, doesn’t mean that you have no more pleasures in life. Think of all of the fun you can have by being offensive! I love being old, I use old age as an excuse now for saying what I think!

You don’t have to get stupid as you get older but it is certainly a lot of fun if you become more cheeky, disrespectful and brazen.

But if you’re not old yet, why wait? Start being more cheeky, disrespectful and brazen right now! Live as if one day you will die! (I am not sure if that’s one of the wisest things I have said… but then again I’m old so I don’t care what you think, I just hope you took offense, that’s all!)

You are not going to lose weight by exercising. You can run and jump and skip and hop as much as you want (and it won’t be much if you are not fit) but you will still have your fatty bulges…. unless… you eat less… and perhaps drink less alcohol…

I know, that’s ridiculous. You hardly eat a thing and you rarely drink beer. Like I really believe you. Your fat just appears because of the air you breathe.

You have to eat less, a lot less if you want to lose weight. There are very few people who actually work physically hard but everybody seems to think they have the need to eat lots of fuel.

You can’t keep filling up your belly if you are not converting it to fuel. You have to learn to get used to feeling hungry and then you will notice the weight will start dropping off. You will not die if occasionally you miss a meal. You will not collapse if you stop snacking.
