Here's the Scenario:

I'm at my desk, working. Suddenly, thoughts of the vending machine creep in. Or I start to wonder if anyone has left any goodies in the common area. Visions of cookies, Fritos, left-over bagels and danish start dancing in my head. I don't *WANT* to think of these things, but habits are hard to break and the thoughts come unbidden, so the best I can do right now is NOT give in. So I developed my "Go To" move. And that move is Green Tea.

When those dirty little snack food thoughts start to plague me and I can't refocus, I go get tea. I've never been a coffee or tea drinker, so tea is new to me and the whole process takes a while. By the time I've gone to the machine and gotten hot water, gone to the common area and gotten a tea bag, come back to my office and floated the bag for a minute or two, then actually FINISHED the tea (boy, it takes me a while to sip down anything that HOT), usually the dirty little snack food thoughts are gone. Plus, my tummy feels placated by the warm liquid.

What is your secret weapon "Go To" move?

*poof*
