............“We’re sick of fat people complaining and moaning about their weight, like they are victims. There is a small proportion of obese people who genuinely need help. The problem is the other group of people who are fat and lazy; who just take advantage of all the help that is out there because they think they deserve it,” said Julius.

“Twenty years ago it was mean to point out the one fat kid in the class, because he or she genuinely had a problem. But now, 80 to 90 per cent of us are overweight if not obese and it’s become un-PC to say anything about that.”



Julius believes there is now even a backlash against fit people. So instead of fat people being made to feel awkward, he says that fit people are often made to feel bad about making their health a priority.

“Bad health is one of the worst things you can have, probably our most poignant problem in the world today,” Julius says. “That said, having a drug addiction and poor financial health are probably just as bad.

“Fit people can be influenced by the people around them. As they steadily choose to live a healthy life they can become side-tracked by the people closest to them, like their husband or wife. We give them advice and tips to help them keep going on the healthy path. Hopefully this will widen the gap so that they’ll eventually inspire other people around them to live healthily too,” said Julius.

Athletes and CEOS make up the bulk of the couple’s clientele and both present unique training challenges.

“Fit people aren’t all size eight, they come in all shapes and sizes. Fit people come in all shapes and sizes; it’s about the part of the brain that they allow themselves to rely on. The’ fit’ part of the brain that encourages exercise and healthy eating and the ‘fat’ brain which is lazy and tells you not to bother,” said Sharny.

Time is the biggest constraint for people in high-powered positions.

“It’s common for CEOS that we train to be time poor, but we teach them how to be entrepreunial about their fitness. Instead of taking an hour out of your day, and conserving your energy throughout the hour, we encourage them to use intensity. Fifteen or twenty minute sessions where they are working at their peak,” said Julius.

The couple also focuses on reminding their clients that it’s not selfish to focus on making health and exercise a priority.

“When people are time poor they can feel guilty about taking time out from family to exercise, but the truth is if you don’t look after yourself, you cannot look after anyone else,” said Julius. ......................

People with a drinking problem don't serve drinks behind a bar or eventually get refused to be served.

Why do we have fat people serving in food outlets or not being refused entry to 'all you can eat' ?

I'm sure people in the Med Industry just love moving these people around for some bad back situations.

It is NOT genetic, its not because of a gene.
No addiction really is.
Do people wake up every 30 minutes to light up a cigarette?

"Too much of a good thing, can be bad for you."

Oh god, what's coming up next? This country is so over-regulated.  We can't drink in non designated places. If we sit on the bow of a boat in Sydney harbour, the Sydney water police will issue a fine or a warning. Even sitting on top of a cliff will result in police directives to move.  What the heck? This is common practice. Since when did the police become the "safety police"?

There is a hill in SE Queensland (Glasshouse Mountains)  where the path is fenced off because it's considered too dangerous for people to climb. The next thing will be a licence to climb mountains, or a licence to bushwalk or to go snorkelling. Just think of all these dangerous snakes or sharks - you are putting yourself in danger and therefore are a public menace. Shades of 1984. You must conform.

We need to be able to put ourselves in danger and challenge ourselves to do better. One or two of us may actually die as a result of that, but it's for the good of our species.

What is really dangerous is removing that personal choice. 

Fat people don't really harm anybody else but themselves, and it takes months of effort to go from fat to slim. Somebody who is obese might have been on a rigorous diet and exercise program for the last 3 months. All it takes to discourage them is this kind of crap.

I'm off the original topic a bit, but you'll never prevent people from whingeing. (that was my whinge, but I'm not fat). For what it's worth, I agree that fit people are regarded as somehow abnormal by certain overweight people.

Accepting obesity as normal and making the healthy feel guilty is consistent with the postmodern trend of trying to lift the marginalised into a position of normalcy. It's the postmodern project to create a harmonious, unified, and tolerant society.
