Saturn In Virgo… Pressure To Lose Weight
Astrology in real life
“P, people see me and they say, hey! What happened to you? How did you beach yourself, you poor thing.”
“Beach yourself?” I asked the soldier.
“Yeah. Come on. We gotta get you back to the ocean,” he said. “But I’m not a whale! I’m - not - a - whale,” he said emphatically. “Yes you are but you worry. We’ll get you back to the ocean, you’re going to be okay.”
“You have to go back the doc.”
“I don’t want to go back to the doc.”
“Why not?”
“Because I’ve lost no weight and as soon as I walk in, he’s going to yell, Free Willy! Freeeeeee Willy.”
I shook my head because he’s completely impossible, he’s lost almost 15 pounds.
“Orca. Here’s comes, Orca. That’s what they say when they see me coming up on the scale. OR-CAAAAAAAAA!”
“Oh for Godsakes…”
How are you doing with your health and diet goals?

Back on track again, trying out a new strategy. I found my yoga book Friday night and I’m rather happy about that.
Seriously: Janice Dickinson, The Supermodel, led me around all night looking for a shady place to sit at “The Culmination Of 2008″. She wore a bathing suit and advised me to wait until I was hungry to eat. I woke up thinking “Hey, thanks Janice, that’s good advice.
almost at the tail end of the physical woes. waiting until my innards are better to start a new regime, which I’m looking forward to!
I gave up on my diet goals years ago - decided maybe I’m just supposed to be fat. I could live on celery and carrot sticks for the rest of my life, finally hit a single digit size and get hit by a bus.
That was probably about eight years ago. I was a size 18/20 at the time.
Last Wednesday, I bought my first pair of size ten jeans and DAMN I look good. I mean, who knew there were cheekbones on my face? LOL
How did I do it? I joke that it was a nervous breakdown diet, but honestly? I don’t know. I still eat M&Ms. I still would down a whole batch of cookie dough if left to my own devices. All I know is that I’m healthy, I’ve seen the doctor, blah blah blah…I am just simply half the woman I used to be, and it had nothing direct to do with losing 170 of husband. LMAO!
I think maybe it was just the right time. I no longer need those layers of protection to keep people at a distance, so they are gone.
Let’s put it this way…I just went bra shopping today and felt like I was trying to make warm jello look firm and perky. Doesn’t work so well. It’s time to get back on the diet. Seriously!
Not so well, I’m afraid. I haven’t been to the gym in a month; I need to go today and try to get back into the habit.
I sometimes gnash my teeth at all the things I would have done, the clothes I would have bought, and the confidence I would have exuded had I weighed a certain weight. Even though a tendency to gain weight easily is just the genetic hand that I’ve been dealt–and there are far, /far/ worse things to inherit–it makes me want to rage at the heavens that other people my age can happily shovel whatever they like down their gullets while I have to watch every bite and agonize over every morsel. Sometimes I think that I’ve wasted my twenties losing and gaining the same fifteen pounds, and hating myself every second of it for being so fat and slovenly. GAH!
…Er, in response to your question, though, I’m slowly getting better. My work clothes are somewhat binding, so there’s an instant feedback mechanism to monitor when I gain a few pounds. I’m also eating less wheat and less dairy, which seem to trigger weight gain for me for whatever reason. I don’t know what will make it different /this/ time, as opposed to all the other crazy regimens I’ve tried. You’d think a Scorpio Mars-Jupiter conjunction wouldn’t be lacking in determination, but here I am. I suppose, as the saying goes, it’s down to if at first you don’t succeed…
Not great…lost 10 pounds due to stress, but cholesterol and BP is through the roof. Trying to figure out something, but there isn’t much I can do about my schedule at this point..hoping it will get better in April.
I’m doing much better. When I’m at the grocery store and I think about buying “naughty” food, I just say to myself, Tammy that will give indigestion! LOL I never buy the food anymore since I came up with that little trick.;-)
In my chart, transiting my 4th, Saturn is probably telling me to eat and satisfy my stomach. I don’t think I’ve *really* eaten in a couple of years.
Kris - isnt it a kick to get down to those smaller sizes?!?!!
Over the last couple of yrs Ive lost a total of 70 lbs. I plateaued for awhile but I seem to be back on the downward trend. A couple of yrs ago when I took over mowing the yard (including three pretty big banks) I could barely manage it & was laid up for days afterward. These days I can mow it all in about an hour & a half & I’m not even sore the next day. Id say Im healthier now than Ive been since highschool - and in a size 8 (down from the 18 I was when I started)
horrible. the baby weight that left is returning.
Kris & Rox, you guys are my inspiration for today. 
Thanks, and congratu-ma-effin’-lations!
Thanks Rox, and SaDiablo! I’ve been muttering ma-eff myself when I pass a full window or mirror. Who the hell is that? LOL
We bring what we focus on - we all know that. When I stopped caring about the weight, it went away. Of course, it’s easier said in hindsight than done - I’m thinking “I NEED MONEY” and the Universe is giving me just that: the NEED for money. Gotta figure that one out now. lol
not good. and i’m getting sick 
“Gotta figure that one out now.” Heh. Me toooo!
I’m really happy for you guys, that’s awesome. And even better is your lifted spirits, that beautiful reward for not giving up!
Here’s some good vibes to everyone else in your efforts!

Perhaps I should assume a killer whale routine so I can lose a proportional equivalent. Jupiter is moving away from my ascendant, an active dawn is rising.
