Climbing Back On

It's a miracle! Although I didn't really get back on form after my party weekend I still somehow managed to lose 2lb this week.  That certainly inspires me to get back onto that wagon and follow the plan properly.  So far today so good today.  So what advice does the tarot have for the dieters today?

Today's deck is the 1972 Sheridan-Douglas tarot which has very simple, primary coloured 70s-style images.

The King Of Batons (also often known as Wands, Rods, Staves).  This card is about being in charge and at the height of success. He who must be obeyed!  The message I take from this card is discipline and, in my case, self-discipline.  Obey the plan and stay on track.

This card can stand for visionary leadership, success from hard work and also tyranny.  As dieters we need all of these characteristics:

Visionary - imagine how we'll look when thinner
Hard work - staying on track, resisting The Devil car (temptation)
Tyranny - being very disciplined with ourselves, and yes to the point of being tyrannical if that's what's needed to achieve the other two.

So today is all about being resolved to succeed, believe in ourselves and be disciplined. And good luck with that everyone!
