For the first time in a VERY long time, I ALMOST got offended yesterday!
See it’s takes a lot to offend me because I know I always give people the best information I can (until I learn even more) and genuinely want everyone who crosses my path to benefit in some way.
All you can do is give 100% and if it wasn’t meant to be then walk away and find a new challenge. If you always do this you can’t be offended by misdirected or misinformed comments!
Hopefully I’ll change a person’s life but even little improvements in their health, physical state and mental strength mean I can walk away happy.
However, yesterday one sentence hit a nerve.
Someone said to me “I am struggling with your nutrition plan – it just makes my life hard.”
Now before I go off on a rant, this may strike MANY nerves. If it does, it proves my point because people only get upset when they know the truth has been spoken.
As the saying goes, the truth hurts. This is particularly the case when it comes to health, fitness, losing body fat etc.
Why?
Because the reason you may find sticking to healthy eating is YOUR fault.
YOU have made the decision at many, many points in your life, to give in to temptation and eat that (INSERT TEMPTING TREAT OF YOUR CHOICE!)
YOU have allowed yourself to be driven by financial gain causing untold stress and anxiety in your life leading to hormonal disarray and cravings for sugary food.
YOU make the choice every time you go to the coffee shop to have a sugar-filled, milky, moccachoccafattyshitty latte rather than a bottle of water.
YOU make the choice to run your life by OTHER peoples agendas and therefore struggle to find time to prepare a salad (it takes under 5 minutes by the way!)
In other words, YOU follow the diet they created to sell sugary supplements full of aspartame. They make millions, you get fat.
YOU choose to do what all your friends are doing each and every weekend leading to cakes, carb-filled meals out, bottles of wine etc.
Similarly, if what your kids eat makes it tough for the adults in the family to stick to healthy eating, it’s because YOU have allowed them to get addicted to chemical infused, sugar-filled, sweetener packed, fatty crap.
Despite obvious misdemeanours, kids DO do what they are told and are told to ‘eat what they’re given’.
Unfortunately they do just that most of the time!
If you now struggle to eat what your body wants and needs to not only lose fat, but to greatly reduce your risk of serious metabolic diseases or ‘diseases of affluence’ such as diabetes, heart disease and strokes because ‘the kids like chips/fish fingers/pizzas’, the blame only rests at the feet of one person….
I could go on but you get the point.
No-one has EVER made you do something.
This may happen in 3rd world countries with guns in peoples faces but it doesn’t happen in Guernsey. I have been known to fire automatic firearms for fun and may introduce this into my personal training services in the near future but for now, you’re safe…
YOU make every choice.
Now YOU must make the choice to take a hit for a few weeks whilst you struggle to re-adjust but be safe in the
knowledge that when you come out the other end in a week or two, life will be very, very different.
The more you have crash dietted the harder this will be and the longer it will take.
Again, this is not my fault.
It is not the ‘healthy eating demons’ fault.
Like I say to people who struggle to quit smoking due to the addictive nature it shares with processed food.
YOU got yourself in this mess, YOU get yourself out.
Now for my nice side…. 
I am here to offer you all the help and support you need.
If you are a client of mine on ANY of my services, I will give you every tool you need and take pleasure in doing so.
But understand that whilst you will be given the keys to many doors, only YOU can choose to unlock the door and walk through.
For some of you this is just about losing a few pounds, getting fit for certain events, or just having something that pushes you 3 times per week.
This is fine but you will not see the best results you could until you…
1) Decide why you REALLY paid to be coached (it wasn’t to just lose half a stone – deep down you want something more so go find it!)
2) Accept that YOU are a grown adult and the buck stops with you
3) Commit to seeing those results and MAKING them happen.
I could fill your heads with more bullshit about magic pills, 4 minute workouts that build lean muscles in days and dancing queen workouts that will
turn you into a goddess, just to make a quick buck.
However, I know better. MUCH, MUCH better!
I have seen what works on everyone from elite athletes to normal ladies losing 8 stones in 8 months under my guidance and am giving you the very same information.
If you choose to still believe there is a better way to stop being sick, tired and fat then I wish you well in finding it because none of the best coaches in the world have achieved it!
This may sound like a doomsday message but sometimes we all need to have our wrists slapped (myself included) .
I would love to hear your thoughts and questions so post them below and let’s have a good ‘ol chat!!!
