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.

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.

Most people who follow these flippant ideas, are hoping that it’s the easy way out and minimal effort is required.

Have a look at this blog if you want to see some of them.

Unfortunately it all gets down to the basics:

If you want to get fit you have to do a lot of exercise and it’s not easy.

If you want to lose weight then eat less and move more and it takes a lot of self contr0l.

All of the trends in the world will not magically replace the need for self-discipline and effort. How sad for all of you lazy folk out there!

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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!)
