I’ve been a sloth for a number of months, especially compared to the years I spent working out 5-6 times a week, on a cross-trainer on level 20!  I barely exercise at all anymore for a myriad of of reasons.

One of the reasons is my husband doesn’t care. He likes curvy women and I am pretty sure he wouldn’t mind one bit it I put on 50 pounds!  I do have Mars in Libra which equates to being driven to please the partner and when you put this all together along with the fact I am old and busy, you can see how I’d slack on the exercise, but!

This is for the Virgo Moon, it’s from 2007.

I was talking to my husband about diet. He is trying to lose weight and I am trying to stop gaining.

“Well, carbs do make you weak,” I said. “It is just not hard-on food.  For example did you know that Jim Jones fed his followers a diet high in carbs because it made them docile?  It’s true.”

“Yeah, I had to clean up those bodies,” he said. “That was one of the first things I did militarily that was out of the country.”

“I know. But I am telling you that making those people weak via their diet was part of the brainwashing. It was deliberate.”

“I believe it,” he said. “Those people were dead a a doornail,” he added with a look.

“Yeah, I imagine.”

This is the Saturn return of the mass suicide by the way.  918 people died.

I was reminded of this post because we were talking about how passive people have become. People speculate about hormones in food, or in birth control pills, etc. I think a diet high in carbs has a lot to do with this. Remember diet and the mind are linked (Virgo).

Weight issues came up in the Colosseum. reminding me of this…

Back when I young and knew the soldier I just ate and ate and ate. Unbeknownst to me (Venus Neptune) I got enormously fat. I had no earthly idea I was overweight. I grew up starving and didn’t even know it was possible to be overweight.

“I was shocked at the doctor today,” I told the soldier. ‘I’m skinny. I am skinnier than I thought.”

“P, you are always skinny, you’ve never been fat a day in your life.”

“I have so! I weighed 187 and you were there.”

“You did not weigh, 187.”

“Yes I did. I went to the doctor and they weighed me. 187!  That’s when I decided I better do something.  You were at our engagement party by yourself and I lost the whole weight while you were gone…”

So HQ was tossing me cards, I was playing them and eventually others started to show up. I got some new friends and I started to build relationships with them. The friendships I already had got stronger and people in the gym started talking to me. All of this was slow. It was so incredibly slow.

For example, I went to the gym 4-5 times a week for almost 2 years before I lost a single pound! This is true. But once I got the weight to come off… well I was looking damned good underneath it, so big shock! I was still in the bad relationship though. I just couldn’t get out and no one could believe this.

Occasionally I get talking to someone in the gym and they’ll say something about my body. Something nice. And I am always very grateful, not just for the compliment but for the chance to reflect. Because it surely hasn’t always been this way.

“Thanks,” I’ll say. “Thanks very much. It’s taken awhile. When I first walked in here, I was really overweight. I got on one those treadmills over there and I was so out of shape, when I got off the whole room was spinning!”

A year and a half ago when Saturn went into Virgo I said we were going to wind up on a collective diet and it is happening. I made those videos about portion and control and more recently have been writing all over the place about how I keep going to the grocery store to find the things I buy regularly have been downsized.

I am talking about a standard 1/2 gallon of ice cream (not any more), the 1 pound package of pasta (now 12 oz), a 3# bag of onions (now weighs 2#) and most recently, 1/2 pound of sliced cheese now weighs 6 oz.

anesa writes on A Fierce Diet:

“Hi Elsa, the book you mentioned here – “Heal your Body” by Louise L. Hay – lists “oversensitivity, often represents fear and shows a need for protection. Fear may be a cover for hidden anger and a resistance to forgive” for fat issues.

Do you relate to that kind of issues? And is it in reaction to those issues that you have decided to go on a fierce diet and have you chosen a timing based on your chart?”

anesa, good question. While I don’t relate to the fear and oversensitivity Dx, with that Mars Mercury conjunction in my chart, anger is always an issue for me. You can just count me furious at all times and you’d not be far off. (Swearing below the break)

I cop to being frustrated. I have gained 12-14 pounds since the soldier moved in, fact is we like to eat. I realize I look very thin on the videos but that’s a Neptune trick. It’s a camera angle that makes me look like one of those Artlist Dogs with the big head and the little body. The problem is I eat too much and the other problem is my ability to exercise is hindered by the fact I have a hernia.

Now I see the surgeon about the hernia tomorrow and hopefully it will be repaired without delay but even then, I am sure there will be some sort of recovery time and the idea activity will be curtailed is a given. All this adds up to delay! Delay and blocks which are Saturn things of course and if you don’t push against them what you get is oppressed. What you get is depressed so today I decided I’d had enough.

“P, I won’t be able to leave the house in the winter if I don’t lose this weight,” the soldier explained.

“What do you mean?”

“Because if I go out all the kids will think I am Frosty. Yeah, they’ll think I am Frosty the Snowman when they see this belly and they’ll want to climb on me, sit on my belly and slide down the hill.”

I stared.

“Yep, they’ll want to ride down the slope on my belly like they do with him and I am not going to have it.”
