It is no secret that a major part of the American social scene revolves around food.
Thanksgiving has come and gone. It acts as the official inauguration of the Holiday Season including Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve and more. Special meals and sweets are consumed during this time of festivities and some of us find it difficult to maintain our ideal body shape and size.
Many friends will indulge in overeating with the promise to “go on a diet” right after the New Year.
Handwriting analysis can be a useful indicator of who might be most at risk for gaining weight, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.
Persons whose writing style is formed with a wide ductus usually act in response to sensual stimulus. This includes eating and drinking as well as music appreciation, an eye for visual arts and the likes. The wide-line writer has trouble resisting temptation and will take another helping of their favorite food items. They are the gourmets among us. They savor the taste and then store it in their memory.
Wine connoisseurs in particular are gifted with a rare talent of recalling flavor, body and aroma of certain vintages.
If the writing ductus is wide and includes heavy pen pressure, we might be looking at an eating disorder in some writers and gluttony in others.
Free meals are offered as a reliable way to attract consumers. Free lunches, although we are told there is no such thing, are offered by tax attorneys and other professionals trying to lure the public into listening to their sales pitch and buying their services. And let’s not forget the people who jokingly refer to “having lunch at Costco” where food samples are abundant throughout the store, especially during the holiday season.
The fine line writer whose pen or pencil barely touches the paper is not likely to overindulge in general. This type of person will eat food for sustenance rather than for taste. Such individuals are able to move through life without carrying the burden of emotional memory. They forgive and forget trespasses and usually they do not hold grudges. They are not weighed-down by bad eating habits or overly negative feelings.
On the other hand, writers whose ductus is wide and heavy not only indulge in the pleasure of consummation but they also retain an enormous array of memories associated with their experience of enjoyment, pain and hurt. If such persons feel they have been wronged, they will not be able to shake off their resentment or dislike because of the buried feelings that may resurface at any time, at the slightest provocation.
The norm would be found in individuals whose handwriting shows the pen pressure and ductus to be in between heavy and light extremes. This would be a person who is thought to get some measure of pleasure from food and drink, who indulges once in a while, but who is usually able to control their intake as well as their emotional expressions.
A good example of this might be viewed in the signature.
Ductus and pen pressure are rated to be somewhere between heavy and light. Ductus remains consistently pasty and threaded throughout the name. The fact that the person was a franchisor of ice cream stores does not surprise, but rather confirms his penchant for sweet things.
The initial large D is thought to be representative of imagination and elaboration of past events. Emphasis is on security rather than optimism.
The angled lead-in stroke of the second D shows that he is on guard against intrusion and/or exploitation. However, the tiny break between D and u is a sign of intuition, a useful trait to rely on during unexpected incidences. Both lower zone loops of the letters g and y are proportionately reduced in height. The person will confine his innermost thoughts to a mere handful of trusted friends and colleagues.
The ductus and line quality itself reveals to us that the man has developed strong likes and dislikes with an appreciation for the better things life has to offer. It might be said that those who seek a favor from this man should ask only after he has enjoyed a good meal and not on an empty stomach.
Individuals who have developed an appreciation for creature comforts tend to be more generous than those who deny themselves every conceivable pleasure in order to maintain structure and discipline.
So let us enjoy all aspects of the holiday festivities. Remember, an extra helping now and then is good for the soul. We never know what tomorrow brings. To quote Eleanor Roosevelt “The freedom of man, I contend, is the freedom to eat.”
