Saturn In Virgo Diet - I’m On A 2 Day Streak!
Astrology in real life
I have been trying to stop putting on weight for about six months now with absolutely no luck at all. Every day I get up intending to not eat the things I know I should not eat and every day I eat them. Then finally - Eureka - a breakthrough!The soldier was reminding me how it went back when we were kids and I got fat. I saw myself in the mirror one day and freaked! I had packed on about 50 extra pounds unbeknownst to myself (Neptoooon) but all the sudden the veil dropped and there I was.
“I’m faaaaaaaat!” he wailed. ‘Look at me! No you are not fat, I said. SHUT UP! Don’t you make me any fatter, damn you!”
I laughed. “Yeah, I was pissed. What did you do?”
“Well I told you weren’t fat and you were still upset so I told you, why don’t we just lay here and kiss then?”
I snorted. “Did I go for that?”
“Uh huh. But we got up in the morning and you were still pissed so that’s when we started doing all those sit-ups together…”
Well here’s the thing: It hit me yesterday, this pattern in my life. I get with Taurus, I get fat, then get with Scorpio and get skinny.
Having enough of that I go back to Taurus and get fat, which brings me back to a Scorpio man where I shrink.
So now I am with Taurus and steadily gaining weight. And I was so relieved when I realized this because the solider is actually Taurus Sun, Scorpio Moon which means I should be able to balance, yes?
I think so. So I am off the stuff I know I should not eat for 2 days now ever since the realization. I think I was on track to wash, rinse, repeat until I identified this pattern but now there is a door and I am going to use it. This is one of the benefits of age by the way. You really do figure this stuff out!
And yeah, I know I am not obese. But I also know I can get that way, I have done it twice! So I am keen to go back down before I go up anymore if you know what I mean, plus I am just sick of being off the wagon.
Anyone else have a streak to report? Wanna start one? Because if you do, you get so say things like “I’m on a 1 day streak”… and if you say that with a straight face you’ll get a big laugh. I know because I tried it.
(the postcard is from the era when I knew the soldier. Someone gave it to me and I have kept it for almost 30 years. It was a tremendous gift at the time so I hope someone gets some energy off it. I think it reeks, Jupiter.)

I’m on a ten minute streak!! YEAH ME!
(I’ve been up 10 whole minutes and only put my toothpaste in my mouth so far! - I’m on a roll!)
Before that I slept for 7 1/2 hours so, you can really count that as a 7:40 minute eat-free streak - does make it sound like I’m really doing something, heh? hahahaa!
Last year was perfect. I had nearly a year of being at the exact weight I wanted to be and I wasn’t eating things that were unhealthy. Since Feb it’s been harder and I have had more episodes of binge eating. I haven’t gained a lot of weight, but I still have an eating too much problem.
Yesterday on the way into work I was bringing muffins for a meeting and as I walked in I said, I won’t eat these today. If I can do this, I can say no to everything else. It’s been 24 hours….
I find having a small notebook in my purse to write down my calories to be very effective. If I know my target calories, I know how much I can “spend” in a day.
I lost 95 pounds five years ago and recently started gaining again. I blame it on the guy I’m seeing. He’s a 6′6″ rail while I’m a 5″ chubby. Of course, he loves to eat and so do I (a Taurus thing?) but he can handle it - I can’t. I thought Saturn in Virgo would help, but I think until Jupiter moves out of Sagittarius I’m going to have “expansion” problems. Funny because he tells me I’m not fat - but I know I am overweight and I want to nip this in the bud. Right now I’m trying to exercise but even that’s hard to start. I bought an elliptical machine at the thrift store, but it turns my legs into rubber bands. I know I need to consistently do the five minutes I can handle and it will get easier. It is just so hard to change and the fact that I have a “fixed: chart doesn’t help.
But I’ve been good today - I’m on a one day streak.
I can’t wait to have Jupiter out of my fourth house in two weeks, cuz I am the fattest I have ever been - and I’m eating soo healthy but the freakin food just sticks to me!
So I am on a minus two weeks streak
I’ve been eating at home, or bringing my food to work. Its two weeks and going strong (and I am bored to death). And I finally cleaned my room after months of meaning to, but not quite actually doing. I’ve been keeping it clean to, so far.
For the past couple of months I’ve been very good about eating an apple late in the evening instead of chocolate. Not losing any weight but not gaining either. My Aries is finally choosing to eat fewer desserts and that helps a lot!
I was having nostalgic flashbacks reading about you & the Soldier eating Taurus style . . .
I’m on a Day 1 streak of not bursting into tears in the wood workshop at school.
(Can’t say I’m not going to eat donuts; I’m going to eat donuts).
today is my bday and i have saturn in virgo in my natal chart. not sure what that means but i’m on my 12th day of the master cleanse…been drinking just lemonade, tea and salt water flushes (even thru thanksgiving!)…i plan on breaking the fast friday after tomorrow (20 days in all)…i feel GREAT, lotsa energy, and not sick of drinking the spicy lemonade yet. ^_^ i probably have lost 7 or 8 lbs.
Happy Bday, Jennifer!!!
Jennifer, is there a place to read about the ‘master cleanse’ and the spicy lemonade recipe? or is this something of your own creation?
Have just recently had my birthday as well, hope yours is a very happy one!! As the astrologists say, (see I AM learning Elsa) “many happy returns!!”
Thanks Jamie and dreams!
you can find info about the master cleanse by googling it. there’s a book that was put out back in the 70s by stanley burroughs that you can read. i actually recommend agave instead of maple syrup but otherwise it’s a fantastic way to heal your body. 
Oooooo…Looks like me, Jennifer and Dreams share a Sadge Sun! Gotta love those Archers…and Crabs, Bulls, Scales, Water Bearers, Scorpions, Lions, Goats, Virgins(snicker….sorry about that:D), Fish, Twins and the Ram! Love ‘em all!
Oh…not unless your Bday was on or before the 21st, Dreams. Did not think about that possibility.
About the eating thing and gaining weight. I am really short so any weight I gain reaaaallly shows up…except that I cannot gain weight since I broke my gall bladder.
I have a Libra rising so Venus (the fat lady) rules my chart. She has a mighty appetite for all things sweet. She eats dessert for breakfast, lunch AND dinner…and then, of course, dessert!
She is a glutton for decadent desserts. The kind that have mountains of cream oozing from between layers of puff pastry or rich chocolate tortes. She faints at the mere sight (and smell) of a caramal glazed apple pie topped off with pure french vanilla ice cream. She is a sugar whore to the core and I despise her addiction! She gets me into a LOT of trouble…or at least she used to before she destroyed my digestive system.
I can eat all the arm sized maple glazed donuts I want (albeit with pain) and not gain an ounce. I can consume boxes of chocolates without the slightest need to leave my pants unbuttoned….and unzipped. But…as always with Venus there is a price to pay for such indulgence….pain.
So to all Elsa Elsa posters I wish you many “streaks” , “binges” and ultimately purges!
Jamie…I’d take the pain over the pounds any day!
Lucky.
hehe…not really, I hope the pain gets better for you.
Nope Jamie I am a Scorpio sun, BUT a chocaholic - so, where does that fall from my chart into “LIVE w/chocolate sprinkles” astrology-personified?? uhh, I mean where in the chart is this coming from? Maybe it is from all the Sag in my chart? Venus in 1st, Mercury and Saturn in 2nd, all in Sag! I’m here w/Elsa trying to learn what all that means.
Yesterday I had an apple for lunch and a yogurt for breakfast.
Today I had the apple for breakfast, and I’m gonna eat the yogurt for lunch! woo-hoo really breaking it up aren’t I? Us streakers really like to live it up!! Beverage of choice today is going to be water.
I’m thinking…Is there such a thing as chocolate yogurt?????
Uhhh, my gall bladder is broken too!
Means most meats cannot be eaten late in the day. I’m trying to keep my broken one on my insides…and avoid the surgical intervention.
Does anyone pity us poor Sadgey influenced sweet-fat lovers are limping along with a broken sprockledonker! I doubt we get the sympathy we deserve for pursuing our bliss!
Dreams…I think Yoplait does have a chocolate yogurt! I’m pretty sure.
Dreams, did you only eat an apple for lunch and yogurt for breakfast? Not that it’s any of my business, of course, it’s just that I would starve.
My SO recently lost 20 pounds by cutting out his oatmeal with yogurt for breakfast. What does he eat? Steak and broccoli. No kidding! (Don’t worry, he’s not a ‘no-carbs’ guy).
I send all of your broken gall-bladders best wishes.
I slipped in a couple ounces of cheese around 2:00. Burger for supper. It was okay. Just making myself eat something for breakfast is the task at hand.
I agree, breakfast is tough. I once quit morning coffee, only allowing myself a cup after eating (it was suppressing my appetite). Back on coffee—with 10 million ounces of creamo.
Thanks for good thoughts, Shell. That was very sweet.
Dreams,….don’t tell me you have Sadge Sun/Merc in the second house!!!??? And Venus in the 1st!?
Well, so do I. I knew I liked you!
Pay close attention to Elsa as she guides you through the language of Astrology because you will find no one wiser than she. I hope that you take what you learn and share it with others. Being a Scorp with so much Sadge you have no other choice but to be a teacher!
As for the broken Gall Bladder I have a little advice. DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH IT (sorry I screamed that out)…..even if they really, really want to. Even if they promise you that you will feel sooooo much better. I had mine out in 2004 and have been in 24/7 pain since then. It seems that some people (I cannot say all) who have this surgery eventually become disabled and put on morphine and other opiates to control the pain. ( Did I detect a smile when I said opiates?)
Some of us even go on to contract Chronic Pancreatitis…which is basically nothing more than auto digestion….you eat your own Pancrease..yea. So….I am on a mission to save my fellow human from experiencing what I (and so many others) are going through. Sure, I get to eat anything I want and not gain weight but the handfuls of enzymes I have to eat a day combined with the nausea and pain (sometimes) takes away the joy of consuming a bag of Harry and David’s chocolate covered fruits.
I am sorry that your GB is broken and can totally empathize. What exactly did the doc say was wrong? Stones? Infection? I’d use natural remedies first to heal it. Just make sure you go to someone reputable and with knowledge of the digestive tract to help you fix it. I recommend researching Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Law-suits….and the SOD and CP Yahoo Groups. These people have a lot to say about this surgery.
I think I’ve totally scared all of Elsa’s crowd away…or at least bored them to death. Sorry!
I’m gonna go eat a donut now.
Mmmmm…donuts! No fear or boredom of the health stuff–Saturn’s in Virgo!
You’re right, kashmiri! I forgot about that….silly me. I’ve got my Pluto and Uranus in Virgo so T Saturn is makin’ a nice, tidy little conjunction with my…well…conjunction. Lucky me.
I didn’t really go eat a donut….it just sounded funny to end it that way. I want to eat a donut. I really do but I don’t want to have to get a refill of neomycin. Yuck. Seems if you eat too much sugar (with an inability to digest food) you get an overgrowth of bacteria. Yuck.
Have a good nite:)
