tepping on the
scales, I took a
deep breath and
looked down. And
I grimaced at the
number looking back at me.
13st!
I’d never been so heavy.
‘That’s it, I’m
going on a diet,’
I thought. ‘I’m fed
up of being fat.’
I was a size 16
to 18, but rarely
got on the scales
because it was
too upsetting.
Even my
husband Martin,
56, didn’t know
my weight.
I’d been yo-yo
dieting for 20 years.
Losing a bit, but piling it
back on and more.

Had to change


I was an emotional eater.
Picking at whatever I could

tarot reader, and I could never
stop myself popping into the
kitchen for a cup of tea and a
packet of crisps or a biscuit.
I had to change, but how?
But that night I went to
bed thinking about how
I was going to slim and keep

the weight off
this time.
It was the last
thought on my
mind before
falling asleep.
In the morning,
I jumped out of bed.
I’d had a dream with a
clear message and
I couldn’t wait to
scribble it down.

I’d seen my hands
shuffling a
pack of
huge
tarot
cards.
Usually, a
pack has 22
Major Arcana
and 40 Minor
Arcana cards,
but in the
dream I took
out the Major
Arcana cards.
I was left with
the Minor cards,
made up of the
four suits of
Pentacles, Swords,
Wands and Cups.
I realised the
four suits represent an
element and have
