Proceed at sunset on any night of the waning Moon. You will need:

• a yellow candle with a holder
• rose petals from a white or silver rose
• lavender oil
• three to five small garnets
• a palmsize carnelian or turquoise stone
• a small jar with a lid
• a picture of yourself healthy

Charge the candle with your desired goal and place in the holder. As you light the candle, visualize yourself passing on second helpings, passing on snacks, smaller portions on your plate, and looking healthy and physically fit. Charge the rose petals, oil and stones. Sprinkle petals around the base of the candle holder, again, visualizing your desired self. Place the garnets and few drops of oil into jar, continuing your visualization. Pick up the petals and also place in the jar, chanting:

"By this jar of powered oil, petals and stones,
bring me the courage and help me to achieve my goal:
not to eat or snack as much, and to become healthier."

Visualize yourself becoming more physically fit and moving the weight on the scale to the left. Rub the carnelian or turquoise stone on the picture of yourself. Now rub the stone on yourself, visualizing yourself becoming the you in the picture, saying:

"In no way will this spell cause me
to suffer any adverse effects. So mote it be."

Let the candle burn for about an hour longer, then snuff it out and put it away. Take it out and burn it any time you need some extra support. Pin the picture up in the kitchen for positive reinforcement. Carry the jar with you, and sniff the contents before meals. Also carry the carnelian/turquoise stone and rub it in the palm of your hand to avoid snacking.
