    Try helping a troop of girls sell those things (several years in a row), which is really odd if you're a guy.

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO FIND A SAFE HIDING PLACE FOR THEM - SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY DOES. WHAT GOOD IS A HIDING PLACE IF YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS??

    We have had about 15 boxes in our house and so far I have had 1 cookie! I do have 3 boxes of thin mints in the freezer that I might pull out next summer to crush up and put over ice cream....

    I just suggest you stay away from other peoples Girl Scout cookies, especially if you live here in south Florida. We take our cookies very seriously...:laugh:

    Check out my blog on Girl Scout cookies.

    I've been a leader for a long time. Our sale is now over. And I estimate I did better this year than I have in past years. Better as in didn't eat as many.

    I would absolutely still find a place for them in my diet if they didn't have partially hydrogenated oils in them! :( I miss Thin Mints so much!

    They are weapons of mass destruction and those girl scouts selling them are mini terrorists

    But I got 5 boxes. I fear there will be some dinner entries of just cookies....

    The other day they were selling them outside of the store I was going in. They asked the man walking in front of me if he wanted to buy a box & he said he was trying to loose weight so he didn't need them. He then pulled out $5 and handed it to them & said he still wanted to support their cause anyway so to just take it as a donation. He resisted temptation & still figured a way to put a smile on thier faces!

    I ordered 2 or 3 boxes. I plan on using them on my cheat days and I also plan on freezing them so I don't eat all of them at once. They are worth the splurge.

    TRUTH! Why is she always LITERALLY snarling in her DVDs?! Aren't her flaring nostrils enough?

    They are so evil! I bought 7 boxes of the carmel delights and 5 of the thin mints! I felt like I had to be a good Aunt and buy that many. Good thing my husband has gotten through 2 boxes so far =)

    One smart girl was selling them in the parking lot at Loveland Ski area. I broke down to purchase Samoas and Thin Mints.
    I burned over 1500 calories on the mountain. So it may even out. :)

    I ordered some from a co-worker right before I started my weight lost challenge, they finally came in last week instead of taking them home I left them in the break room as community property didn't eat not one!

    I didn't buy any this year but a family member did. He keeps bringing me boxes. Sometimes I resisted (passed a box on to my mom) but mostly I eat some. Within my calories, of course, but I could've eaten something healthier with those calories. :ohwell:

    Dear Uncle,
    I know you love me. I do not need the cookies, though.

    Thanks,
    Your Healthier Niece

    Right?!? I bought 4 boxes. and almost all the cookies are currently in my freezer. Honestly, I hate the hydrog oils, but if you keep it to one or two every once in awhile, the calorie impact is pretty dang low. Just dont eat the the whole box at once!

    I discovered several years ago that you can just hand over the cash without taking the cookies. This trick has saved me frmo thousands of calories and guilt points over the years.

    Works for Boy Scout popcorn, too!

    I ate my last 'Thin Mint' last week. I then proceeded to drop kick the empty box out of my back door.

    They were selling them at K-mart the other day. I ran past the table before they could even ask. Luckily for me, I haven't had a girl scout cookie in years, so I don't really crave them.

    I just discovered tonight that Back to Nature makes "Fudge Mint Cookies" that taste EXACTLY like Thin Mints, except they're healthier, because they don't contain partially hydrogenated oils or HFCS!!! So excited! I admit I felt a little guilty at first buying a box of them at all, but somehow I was totally fine with eating only one cookie and then putting them away, so I think it's worth it if they taste that accurate to the GS variety, are less unhealthy, and I can control myself! haha
    I'm moving them to the fridge! :)
    Now if only I could find a good Caramel De-Lite copycat...
