This year I’ve set my complete focus on losing 100lbs. I know I’ve still got work to do, but I know I will achieve this goal soon. The only way I’ve been able to make any progress has been to control, and overcome, any temptation that crosses my path. Discipline is crucial. So the theme of my new sleeve is: “I control my temptations.”
As a symbol of temptation, I decided I will use Sirens…mermaids. Sirens have always symbolized the tempting call to a man’s destruction. Their beauty and charm lure men in and destroy them. I think crazy, beautiful, feminine mermaids, with a dark side would look great as a sleeve.
Today I thought about including an octopus which would start around my chest and shoulders, and whose tentacles have captured the mermaid. The octopus is my favorite animal, and I think the water theme goes well together. Controlling my temptations.
I’ll have to let this idea marinate for a bit…
