    Ahh! I ordered 10 boxes and I'm regretting it big time. I'm happy to help the GS though. Thankfully I have two guys in the house that will (hopefully) eat most of them. I need to build up the strength to resist those Samoas!

    Underrated advice.

    My daughter just joined scouts and a few people at work offered me money if I don't sell them cookies :)

    As a former Girl Scout who had to sell those d*mn things, I will always ALWAYS buy at least 1 box. Thin Mints. Keep them in the freezer.

    When I was a kid my mom would by 12 boxes of Thin Mints. One for each month. We would split a sleeve two times a month, so 4 cookies for each person. Woe befall the dummy that broke into the cookies in secret!! Shame and screaming from all family members would crash down upon your sorry little head. How dare you infringe upon their Girl-Scout-given blessings?!

    So I've learned how to exercise restraint in reference to Thin Mints ;)

    eat some. track your calories, adjust diet for the rest of the day to break even, or go do some cardio... don't try to sacrifice to much or you'll binge when you have a bad day.

    This........if you totally cut some things out, you will end up having that bad day & feeling guilty about it. I indulge in what I enjoy every so often just to make sure that it doesn't spiral out of control.

    I'm a teacher and ALL OF MY STUDENTS are asking me to buy them! And my coworkers are selling for their kids! I haven't had any yet, but it's damn difficult!!!
