Week 2-14 – Victorious

I added a line to my POA card a couple weeks ago. I think I mentioned it in comments. “I skip afternoon snacks and feel victorious!” I can’t begin to tell you how huge this is for me. I am not the least bit hungry, yet I’m in the 3:00 hour, and I feel the mental pull to snack. On something. Anything. I remain VICTORIOUS.

Last year, my journey to health began to feel possible when I implemented “I eat before 8 pm.” It didn’t take long, but that pull to snack after 8 pm and the associated hunger pangs were gently dispensed with by reminding Subby that we eat before 8 pm. I searched for many months for the next step in this journey, and I believe I’ve found it with “I skip afternoon snacks and feel victorious!” (The exclamation point is important.)

In the past, I’ve always felt a need to snack at this time — including hunger pangs. Last summer Young Living released a new product called CitraSlim. I tried a box. I didn’t lose weight, but I noticed I didn’t feel hungry in the afternoon (something I’d already identified as a challenge for me). I stopped taking the product, because it was out of stock, and I noticed I felt hungry in the afternoon. I’m taking this product, and the hunger pangs are just not there. I do remind myself to make sure I eat lunch between 11 and 1:30. Now, I have no mid-afternoon hunger pangs, and it’s all mental. I remind Subby, “I skip afternoon snacks and feel victorious!” This is working. One more step as I manifest my True Health.
