There was another complaint yesterday about the email regarding being on a never-ending diet.

Maybe it struck a nerve with somebody who wants to blame everybody else for their lack of results and the fact they put weight back on.

It's not their fault, it's their genes, medication, the wrong lunar cycle etc etc.

The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to accept responsibility for it being there in the first place.

I've discussed this many times, yes some external factors do play a part but ultimately it is you who puts stuff in your mouth.

Although this blog does generate some sales for our programmes that is not the reason I write it.

I write it because I was pissed off with the confusion surrounding weight loss and fitness.

I don't write in a style to confuse or mystify.  I tell it as it is and give examples from my 20 +years in the industry.

Fran is being amazing for letting me take sometime out of our day to sit down when our new housemates first settle for bed and write.  

She knows it helps me as much as it helps our readers.

I haven't slept really since they moved in, t's not their fault; they've slept right through.  I'm just lying awake to listen for signs of them dying, ninja's breaking in to take them, airplanes crash landing in to the house.  

And many other random thoughts regarding their safety and security.

I'm new to this parenting thing and I'm told this is a standard response for lots of blokes.

So when I see the screen that tells me about complaints, in my sleep deprived state it winds me up.

So here is the score.

If you don't like what I write, click the link at the bottom - nobody did that yesterday so I'm assuming the person that complained will read this.

It says in red letters at the top of this screen how to unsubscribe.  It's not difficult.

Please, if you never intend to work with us or put anything I write about in to action.  Click the link.

They are plenty of other trainers that will tell you what you want to hear and take your money.

I don't want to waste your time as much as I don't want you to waste mine.

For those of you that enjoy reading my ramblings, thank you.

Thank you for the support both Fran and I have received on embarking on our new journey too.

If you would like to work with us, get started on Monday.

This week has highlighted to me how much our kids pick up from us.  

Our behaviours etc.  

If you want your child to eat vegetables, eat them in front of them.  

If you want them to put their mobile down, put yours down.  

If you want them to be active, get off your ass and be active with them or set and example of doing something active.
