I hate Girl Scout cookies!

I hate this time of year! Girl Scout Cookie time means having too many delicious, fattening snacks around the house. I teach school, so I always have girls wanting me to buy them. I feel so bad turning them down. Every year besides this one, it really hasn't been that big a deal. However, I'm down 39 lbs. this year and don't want to blow it. The after-school munchies hit this afternoon and I fell partways off the wagon, but not completely. I guess the treadmill and I have an unscheduled date this evening.

 

GURRRRRRRRL! Copy that!

I can't STOP!!!

I'm going to the gym now lol

LOL!

I was acosted by an adorable little tyke in a Brownie uniform outside of Academy a couple of weeks ago.  I told her I'd give her the $4 and she could keep the cookies.  Her mom said they'd be donated to the troop for snack time.

I know it's tough...I did buy some...thin mints aren't so bad.  150 calories for 4 cookies.  I know thats not a lot but for a small snack it's fine.  I only really like the thin mints so it's not so bad for me.  I do like the idea of donating though.

 

I bought mine from my niece in Chicago. They have 100 calorie packs, I'm in Heaven!!!!!!!

I think that it's okay to give in a little to the girlscout cookies, just in moderation. My sister gave me two boxes, 1 thin mints, the other tag a longs. I discovered that the tag a longs have about twice the amount of calories than the thin mints so I stuck to the thin mints

Thin mints are one of the few foods that if I start eating, I won't stop. I would try to dole out 2 cookies a day, but it would end up being more like a roll per day. Once it was open, I ate it. So I didn't order them this year. I miss them, but I think I'm better off not tempting myself. Maybe next year I'll be strong enough to have them, and not go crazy. Mmm... just the idea of them... no!

as a former girl scout, i always feel obligated! last time i brought a box i made sure my boyfriend would be around before i opened it!

at least they seem to be coming with fewer and fewer per box these days! i swear you get like 3 "carmel delights" (formerly known as samoas) per box haha

I just got 4 boxes from my niece as well.  Thin Mints and the Peanut butter patties. I put them right into the freezer so I will visit them less, they will stay fresh longer and I kind of like them that way - my Mom used to buy tons and put them in the freezer so maybe that's why.  I ate 2 of the peanut butter patties the other day and they were only 150 cals so not really a big deal to work into my daily intake.  Enjoy in moderation!

Samoas.....I can't have just 1....box....so I can't have any at all  evil purple box!!

mmmmmm SAMOAS!!! I was watching my best friends son yesterday, and as she was leaving says "Oh, and there are girl scout cookies on top of the fridge"  That's when I saw the purple box.  After that kid went down for his nap... I ate three before I knew what I was doing! SOOO Good!!!  It doesnt help that DH promised to buy some from our friends daughter.

 

There goes my weight loss! 

I practically ran the other way when the girl scout came rolling up with her wagon but of course my husband was like "Of course we want cookies" I just let them pick ONE box and I didn't get my favorite kind (because I could literally eat the whole box in one sitting) so I'm avoiding that one box like the plague until my son and husband manage to polish it off

I donate my cookies to the people at the nursing home. There are some young people that live there and they really appreciate them.

Some how i lost my mind around the time of buying them.  I bought 6 boxes including 2 boxes of my favorite cookies (Somoas)......i think they need to go right into the freezer.......i could eat a whole box in one sitting if i let myself........

As a reward for meeting a goal at work, a box of Girl Scout cookies was the prize!

I didn't even answer what box I wanted, no way was I going to be tempted.

It's bad when you're trying to get away from food being a reward, and that is what work is using.  While it's nice to be appreciated, I was tempted to e-mail back and say 'Just send me a check for the cost of 1 box and shipping, thanks!'

 

i can never say no to those cute little girls so do you know what i do? i buy a box and tell them they can sample them out to potential customers

Crap....

I just realized no one asked me to buy cookies this year

Grrrrrr!!!

If any girl scouts came to my house, I'd buy them, but I'm rather lucky no one has come up to my apartment to ask. :-)  I've managed to just eat a couple of them at my mom's house, and then stay far away! 

I love thin mints and samoa's!!!!! I was at a potluck meeting thing last night and there right infront of my eyes was a box of samoa's.....and I didn't touch them.....I didn't even think twice about it!! I was so proud of myself :) I think I might have one sometime but I have alway's been the kind that can have one and walk away!

My sis in law just brought 3 boxes down to us!! aahhhh! I love carmel delights though - they r just the best cookie in the world- and if u goin to cheat might as well cheat w/ the really good stuff! She also brought me some lemon cookies- i love lemon and thin mints- OMG -- this is y we dont buy cookies -- we like to eat all of them!!

Do you think there's something they put in those little cookies that makes everyone want more than one? Ha Ha!

Seriously, I did buy some of the sugar-free chocolate chip cookies, but even those are higher in calories than the thin mints. It's truly been a matter of will-power with me. But hey...I figure if I can make it through "Girl Scout Cookie Time", I can make it through anything.
