Girl Scout Cookies

knittnponder

We went gluten free so I thought I was safe from them. Then I decided to try my hand at making some homemade, gluten free Samoas and Thin Mints. They were amazing! Good thing I took them to a potluck and only had a few!

I always *think* I'm going to be able to eat moderately but the reality is, I end up eating them all in a blitz and convince myself at least they'll be gone. Problem is, nature abhors a vacuum and something else finds its way into the house. I pretty much have to ban that type of thing unless I'm taking them to a gathering where they will be shared and not all ride around on my butt for the next year!

MMMMM YUMMY I would eat in modration myself if I could but there is just something about Girl scout cookies. I would take them to work and get rid of them that way good luck

I won't be able to get rid of them. It will be a good test to see if I can only have a couple at a time. But I guess I won't hide them from the kids like I usually do. They will get to have some this time.

That is too funny...those darn Girl Scout Cookies!! We just ordered some too a while back and they are Crack Cookies for sure!!! If you can manage moderation, then they could be used as a reward for you somedays, have a cookie or two, just to have the indulgence, but don't go overboard. My problem, is as soon as I take something away, that is alllll I want!!!! hehehe. But I have been known to be able to take one bite of a candy bar and put it back. Sometimes, I just want to taste it and fill that sugar craving, but if you take a bite and wait, you may be over it before you know it. Otherwise, everything goes to work with my husband too! heheh

I keep them at work. That way there are other people around when I am eating them so I don't go overboard. I also offer them around so I don't eat the entire box. It worked last year. I'm going to try and see.

Dosidos dipped in milk are worse than crack for me - I say I'll have 2, and eat the entire sleeve before I know it. I buy a couple boxes from every girl scout in my neighborhood. Now I've got a dozen boxes at home. But, a husband and 2 boys who are human garbage disposals should take care of the temptation pretty quickly.

Well, I had a box of Thin Mints and a box of Peanut Butter Sandwiches. I have had them for about two weeks. Decided to eat a fe the other day, and they have been taunting me ever since. Gave in last night and ate WAY TOO MANY. I should have given them away.....

These are my weakness. I LOVE them all!! I ate a box of Tagalongs last week. At least they're all gone now. Bring them to work; that'll solve the problem.

I ordered 2 boxes of the Thin Mints & got them delivered to me on Tuesday. I still have not opened the boxes, because I know I will be oinking out in Thin Mint heaven-lol.
So I am thinking about crushing them all up and making some Thin-Mint cupcakes to give to my son's class. I will of course have 1 cupcake and give the rest away. At least I wont feel guilty then.

Tie a box of Thin Mints to a string.
Tie the string to a long stick or pole.
Affix the pole to your shoulder so the box is -just- out of reach in front of you.
Go for a run.

(If you need it more manly, use duct tape and a fishing pole

I just ordered 4 boxes also. I think I will portion them out in ziplocks...and see if that will help...Other wise it will be just eat them and get it over with and back on track....wish me luck!

My daughter is a girl scout and we have TONS of boxes in our house. I have figured out which kinds I can have the most of per serving and have stuck to it VERY VERY well. Good Luck
