The Diet Goddess

Well, after a big diet wobble last weekend I managed to retrieve a 'stay the same' vote on the scales.  Today I am seeking a bit of inspiration to up my motivation levels. 

I recently bought some 'Goddess Power' cards and haven't used them yet - so thought I'd ask them for some Goddess Girl Power messages.

After a good shuffle and cut, the first card I drew was Mary - the Pregnancy / motherhood Goddess.  I had a look at the guide book that comes with the cards and all the messages from Mary are about contraception, family and children. 

Believe me, I put that card back in the deck quicker than you can say 'Diet Goddess';  ok so can't say 'Diet Goddess' that quickly, but you get my drift.  Enough from that card methinks.

So I drew another card - and this time got Pele - the Hawaiian Goddess for all things energy.  That's more like it! 

Messages from Pele include about the benefits of natural foods rather than short-term processed high sugar quick 'hit' foods.  She includes a message about cleaning up my diet and slugging back tons of water.  Water - the famous h20.  We are meant to drink litres of it each day, which I struggle to do.  Other Tubby Town residents swear by it as a weight loss aid.  Other messages from Pele include getting out in the fresh air, and exercising - and yoga.


Ok, so that's the theme for this week. Drink more water and do more exercise!


I was rather hoping for something along the lines of drink more wine and eat more chocolate - but I guess that's how I got to Tubby Town in the first place.

Ok scales - let's see how I go and see you on Tuesday.

What's In the Cards Today?

Well having made a good start since going back to Tubby Town in January, 3.5 tubbies gone so far, I'm wondering how I can keep this momentum up.

I've been buying quite a few decks recently so I thought I'd ask a new one - the Gothic Tarot by Joseph Vargo - what I need to be aware of in the forthcoming Tubby Town week. 

This is quite a 'dark' deck with 'otherside' type of images.  Yet nonetheless beautiful and often haunting.  The card I drew was the Knave of Swords, which - in this deck - is quite a menacing looking character.  This is someone who is clever but can also be deceitful and manipulative.  In Tubby Town this would be the Diet Saboteur.  It need not be someone else,  it can also be myself and fooling myself that now I've lost a few tubbies I can relax.  The jeans are feeling a bit looser, so I can eat a few more Fat Pills - even though I'm not hungry.  Had a bit of that on Friday and yesterday.

I stuck at the same weight this week so need to break this cycle early before next weigh in on Tuesday.  I want the downward spiral (weight-wise of course) to start again this week.

So back to business even more seriously today.  Only two more days to the great Weigh In.
