My mom should learn by now that whatever she–or anyone–says to me can and will be used against them in Code Red’s blog. After reading my last blog, “Stop Eating Out,” mom emailed me and told me that I was being a harsh bully. She told me “not everyone feels the way you do, honey.” Well, yeah! I know! Or I would be out of a job quicker that you can say “McNugget.”
I guess I’m a little bit of a bully when it comes to health and wellness because I’m frustrated with–get ready, Mom, I’m gonna say it–MY RELATIVES–for not putting out more effort to lead a healthy life. I have, like 200 relatives so I’m not pointing any specific fingers but I LOVE THEM SO MUCH and I want them to feel what I feel (and I want them to live longer). Mom’s worried that I’ve offended someone in my quest to change the world.
I’m sure I have.
But my true and deepest heart’s desire is for people to wake up in the morning and be happy with what they see in the mirror. And so many diseases and sicknesses can be prevented or treated if people just do the simplest things like stop drinking soda. Or take the stairs. Or not eat past 6PM. So, yes, “my name is Cristy and I’m a health bully.” But guess who people come to when they want to shape up? Yours truly. I might be strict, loud and demanding but my clients get results, have fun and keep coming back for more. We don’t mess around at Code Red Fitness. And at my prices, who can afford to? I’m passionate about what I do and my clients know that.
Hey, guess what? My colleague and close friend, Dr. Ed Williams, just informed me that obesity is up 17% in New York City and 6% nationally (according to a CNN report 3/31/08). How’s that for harshness? Ouch!
