Face Facts

Let's face it: Those cravings don't always flare up because of an insufficient lunchtime caloric intake. Sometimes we just need a distraction. You know the feeling -- your eyes start to glaze over; you click from window to window, not really knowing what you're looking for; suddenly the annoying guy two desks over is having a very interesting conversation disputing a long-distance charge with his phone company. It turns out, you really do need a break. But that break doesn't have to come from food. Try turning off your monitor for a few minutes, taking a few deep breaths and giving yourself a refreshing restart with a facial cleansing wipe. If you wear makeup and would rather not go "nude" for the rest of the day, go to the restroom and brush your teeth. By cutting your brain some slack for a few minutes and freshening up, you may find that you weren't hungry after all.
