in Motivation and Support
Im out of calories for the day. We have girlscout cookies in the house bc I am a troop leader and I wanted to support one of the girls (I also have three kids who eat the cookies). They are 40 calories each! I do not need one! Just wanted to write this somewhere. They are not worth it its a minute of pleasure. For 11 days straight I have done so well and worked out everyday I just needed to vent.

    Someone at work sent out an e-mail today saying their daughter was selling cookies.
    Deleted it as fast as I could/before I had a chance to read it!!
    They're a trap!

    I can’t handle Thin Mints either. I would eat an entire sleeve if I ate one. I would have to pass unless I wanted to give up a couple of meals for cookies.

    Good for you. I'm such a mess. I can't imagine if I lived with a man or had a family. My food environment needs to be pretty sparse. Will power!

    Oh trust me its hard! I have three sons and a husband who can eat pretty much whatever he wants and maintain a normal weight. So unfair!

    I'd sell my left leg for some thin mints and samoas.

    We have samoas too lol! They are usually my favorite but they are 80 calories each! So eye opening.

    I wish that samoas were 9x the size. Like a big thick pastry..

    A *kitten*. What are you guys doing to me?

    Think of how happy you will be in the morning passing them up.

    Now think about how unhappy you will be if you ate a bunch of them.

    If you really want one, have one of your kids put it in a zip lock bag and eat it when all the rest are gone.

    Girl Guide (equivalent of Girl Scout) cookies in Australia SUCK:

    They're just little round pucks of sugar and sadness.

    They also come in gluten free sadness.

    This is so depressing, The girls on the package have fake smiles warning you of potential sadness.

    Whats the world coming to when a cookie maker produces a cookie not worth consuming?

    This right here ladies and gentlemen paints a pretty accurate portrait for life in Australia. They don't even have creamy vanilla and chocolate in the center of their girl guide cookies, can you imagine what their overall quality of life is?! :open_mouth:

    40 cals for a cookie isn’t bad at all. I don’t really like thin mints, but if I did I could easily fit 4 or 5 in my calories.

    That's a lot of calories for such a tiny cookie
