    I haven't received my order yet, but when they come I know I'll be in trouble. The only good thing I have going for me is that the boxes keep getting smaller and smaller.

    That is great! It's so hard not to eat them with boxes lying around. My husband just had 7 boxes delivered to our house (4 thin mints and 3 samoas). I'm trying to watch what I eat and he isn't.

    I know that I can't resist them so I've been putting one or two thin mints (40 cals each) in a chocolate protein shake in the morning. That way I am enjoying them in moderation and making my shakes taste better. Mmmmm.

    If you ever have to store the troops cookies at your house (cases and cases of them) then they just aren't that tempting after awhile. :) I love GS Cookies, don't get me wrong. But just seeing them does nothing for tempting me. :)

    That is a NSV for you then! Great job, you have more will power than me. I got a box of somas and I was surprised that I was able to stretch the box out for about a week, lol. Keep hope alive!

    i got some the other day - 5 boxes, and sampled just 1-2 from each box. i think that is a victory. normally i would have eaten at least 3 of each!

    It takes A LOT of willpower to just eat 2 girlscout cookies. I used to eat a sleeve at a time. Starting MFP, I don't think I can buy them anymore because I think once I have one, I'd just eat the whole thing.

    Yes! 2 cookies definitely count! I love the thin mints! But I can't get any because I would eat the entire box! Nice work!

    Ok I am new around here what is an NSV?

    Also my wife bought two boxes of thin mints this year :-/ I have like one at a time maybe once or twice a week and put them back. It is just enough to take the sweet tooth edge off. Considering I would have ate the whole dang box before I think this counts as a victory lol!

    Definitely an NSV. I am a troop leader (so that means cases of cookies at my house). I have had some thin mints, but will put some in the freezer. I do have a really good cheesecake recipe that uses them (and I make as low fat as possible).

    Thankfully, we are just about done with the selling of cookies for the year. I only have one more year to go (total of 13 years as a leader) as my daughter will graduate high school next year.

    I have 4 boxes coming next week and my only hope is that my 4 boys get to them before I can. Cookies are one of my downfalls because its so hard to eat just one. So everyone pray for me because I'm going to need all the help I can get.. New to myfitnesspal, so can someone please tell me what NSV is...

    Yesterday I had 5 trefoil cookies and I don't really care. I know that I can burn those off in no time, and I will be eating 5 a week until they are gone. I don't like to deprive myself of what I want.

    OK, I found it... NSV = Non Scale Victory - compliments you get or people noticing your body change or your clothes fitting differently even tho the scale # might not change

    I just love Google...

    Dosi-Dos I can easily eat a whole box in one sitting better to not even have in the house. Wife says just put them out of sight but I still know where they are.

    Yes a big pat on the back to you ............. I walked by and handed a $ 2.00 donation ............. I knew I would eat the entire box before arrriving home.
