    My wife always gets me a box of white fudge covered Oreo's for Christmas. I haven't even opened them yet. Talk about control!!! They are 100 calories per cookie.

    Oh my god, you are gooooood!!

    My son insisted on buying some the other day... I gave in and we came home with 4 boxes. I've had 2 cookies and I think there are 2 boxes left. So far so good! :smile:

    We always buy Caramel deLites, Thin Mints, and Peanut Butter Patties ~ the Caramel deLites are my personal favorites. I only bought one box of them this year & managed to ration them carefully. THAT is progress! :wink:

    I hate that they changed the names of the cookies. It kind of annoys me.....but I :heart: my do-si-do's and tag-a-longs. I resisted the samoas FOREVER until my BF made me try one and now I like those too which sucks because they totally are the worst ones for you!

    I Don't know but in my opinion. Nothing beats a good old homemade chocolate chip cookie. The girl scout cookies have nothing on those.

    I thought I was teh only one. My wodnerful Fiance brought home about 8 boxes the other day. I almost died!!! But so far so good. I have had some, but I always log the calories and try to keep it in moderation.

    I always buy whatever little kids are selling (yes I'm a sucker :blushing: ) but when it's cookies, or those chocolate bars, I take them to work. We're a 24/7 environment and goodies never last very long, especially when the IT guys discover them :laugh:

    Stopped buying them. I'd love to help out the Girl Scouts, but the price they charge now is outrageous.

    Whenever I see a girl scout selling them, I buy one box of the thin mints for me because I love them. I do portion them out, and when that box is gone I try not to buy another. I do buy the Peanut Butter patties for dh because he loves them, I don't like them so it's no problem for me if they're in the house.

    For people who have girl scouts: what I do whenever the kids are selling something from the school or the Boy Scouts are selling their popcorn, instead of buying what I don't want or need, I give them a donation. I remember when my children are doing fund raising, they only got a percentage of their sales. However, if someone made a donation then the school got 100% of the money (and I don't have something that is outrageous expensive that I don't really need or want). Is it the same way with the Girl Scouts? If I were to give them a flat out donation rather than buying the cookies, would they get all the money?

    Thought I was safe from these pesky things. No more of them appeared at work and I don't buy them--don't have anyone in the family or neighborhood waving them around to tempt me. Little did I know that a friend who invited me to dinner was going to place temptation in my way. Dinner was grilled chicken with rice and veggies and teriyaki sauce on the side.


    THEN, she asks the fateful question. "Would anyone like some Girl Scout cookies?" I expected a box or two. Little did I know....

    Out she comes from the kitchen to the living room with SIX BOXES of the E%%$$^^^ things!!:noway: :noway: :noway: :huh: Turns out someone at her job put the touch on her, so she bought 5 boxes, THEN her teenage son comes home, finds out she bought cookies at work, and has a cow because his girlfriend is a GS and selling cookies. So there went 6 more boxes. I escaped after eating about 4 of them. EDIT: Four COOKIES, that is, NOT four boxes!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Those cranberry munch ones are actually pretty good. The lemon sandwiches are just plain awful:grumble: --give me a Carr's Ginger Lemon Creme sandwich anytime.:love: Don't keep THEM in the house either, for obvious reasons!!:laugh: :laugh:

    My friend actually has an identity on here, but I don't think she will be logging her cookies...I, however, did log mine, along with the 2 pieces of chocolate cake that attacked me during a team meeting today at work. Oh the humanity. I tried to defend myself with a fork, but the darn thing kept cutting off pieces of cake:noway: and putting them in my mouth!!!:laugh: :blushing:

    Mercifully, the cookie sale season WILL be over. Just like my weigh in is going to be OVER what I was hoping for due to my transgressions.:frown: :ohwell:
