The British Gentleman

[Craig Ballantyne]

The British Gentleman is:

- Polite
- Unselfish
- Courteous at all times
- Patient
- Mindful of others, time, and tradition
- Disciplined
- Humble
- Self-deprecating
- Jovial
- Generous
- Stylish
- Dedicated
- Magnetic
- Encouraging
- Gentlemanly (of course!)
- Chivalrous
- Proper
- Owns a dog and goes for long walks in the countryside (<= YES! I've got this one!)

The British Gentleman is James Bond...without the License to Kill.

The British Gentleman is my goal.

That's how I aim to live my life.

Unfortunately, I'm naturally...

- impatient
- selfish
- curt
- lazy
- not so stylish
- distant
- introverted

But I'm dedicated to my Transformation.

Since committing to this, I now...

- speak to people in elevators
- Say hi to as many people that I meet as possible
- slow down and rush less
- pay attention when people reply to "How are you"
- dress better
- connect with even more people

And so on.

I'm trying to do everything I can...short of wearing a tuxedo all of the time.

This is my Transformation Entry for the 20th Contest.

I hope that all of our Pro's will read this, and realize that they can still be a part of the Transformation, even if there isn't a category set aside for their fat loss goals.

We can all keep improving - every day - at every age.

I know I am.

Hope you will too,

Craig "TBG" Ballantyne
