    Just say no! Tell yourself that you don't need it grab an apple instead! All you have to do is just say no (:

    i told my bottle of jack no last night.

    well, not until id drunken a quarter of it and gotten sick (hadnt eaten anything), but hey- i still said no at some point.... ;)

    Your self control is the reason i like you :grimace:

    i usually get ' your lack of self control is the reason why like you'

    and its usually from men.

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    We all have bad days. It takes practice to walk past things that are tempting and resist them. I understand feeling pressured to buy a box and then eating too many of them. What I dont understand is that you are already planning to do the same thing tomorrow. THAT isn't falling for temptation. That is PLANNING to "fall for temptation." We can all give you ideas for learning to walk past the cookies next time. We can all give you ideas on how to buy a box and moderate yourself. But you're already planning to buy another box and eat them all. No one can do it for you.

    I wonder what will become of OP if they continue down this road? Will we find them on the side of a road....nothing but empty cookie boxes behind them?

    Dirt on his knees while trying to make enough money for his next box...

    Such a sad outcome. All for the want of GS cookies.

    I'm all about operating with empathy for people who are struggling. Weight loss isn't easy. But there comes a point when empathy can become enabling and it seems like OP is asking for enabling. The question was basically since she's planning to eat another entire box tomorrow, she wanted us to tell her which kind of cookie was the best to do this with. She did it once, I get that. It happens sometimes. As long as it doesn't happen all the time, you can move forward from that. But she's already planning for it to happen again...the very next day. There's just nothing I can do with that. You either plan to do things differently and have success with losing weight or you plan to do the same exact thing and you don't reach your goals. But OP is the only person who can make that decision.

    So the dirt is from tiling a floor or laying bricks? I mean, you don't mean. . . . .oh Lord.

    She's a he, and has been around for a long time with an awesome sense of humor. I don't think he's as serious as people are taking him.

    ETA: I agree that enabling destructive behaviours is not helpful. :smile:

    Sadly, people will do anything for their sugar cookie addiction.

    My biggest regret from last night is that I have no Girl Scout cookies today.

    I picture it like this, but without the big comfy couch:

    lol I didn't realize it was a guy and totally thought he was serious. Maybe it speaks to the abundance of posts with people asking about motivation, I don't know. So this was a joke? :lol: that does make me feel better

    Yeah. So much fun to mock the ones that are serious.
