    If I got near one I don't know if I could resist. I think it's better that me and Girl Scout cookies don't meet. lol Great job on your restraint!

    Great job. I haven't done that yet. I did only eat 4 thin mints the other day.

    I bought 4 boxes and immediately gave them away! I hope to have your good habits soon, but for now I am avoiding temptation.
  • I can't trust myself so I didn't buy any this year :)

    You are better than me. There is no way I could have stopped at just one. If I buy any this year my husband and kids will have strict instructions to hide them where I can't find them lol.

    WTG!
    My daughter is a Girl Scout Daisy- there is temptation all over my dining room table!!!

    ETA- If you want to help a troop at a booth or something but don't want to use calories for cookies, consider donating to the Operation Cookie Drop that the Girl Scout troops do. They donate boxes of cookies to US armed forces troops that are serving overseas!

    I ate three for 130 cals. The peanut butter sandwich ones. My favorite ones are the Thin mints and Tagalongs. Yum!

    I have a sure fire way to resist eating Girl Scout cookies. I don't buy them.

    I limited myself to 8 thin mints for 320 calories. I could eeeeeasily eat the entire box.

    Good for you!

    Thankfully I'm flat broke, so this cookie season won't be as bad for me. I can eat an entire box in one sitting, easy.

    I bought two boxes of cookies today, Samoas for me and Tagalongs for my boyfriend. . I have not yet opened them, but I'm not going to eat anymore than the serving size. 2 cookies, that's it. Great work though! It's mind over matter, you can do it if you overcome the urge!

    Oh, crap! It's that time of year again? They're like Pringles...can't eat just one. Guess I'll have to bump up the cardio until they're gone. :tongue: Oh...nice job controlling yourself....this time...<evil laugh>...

    My favorites are the coconut caramel cookies. Dollar General started selling their generic brand of them and they taste exactly the same. I could easily become the cookie monster.

    Great job.

    Thankfully I know nobody local that sells them. I am a cookie fiend though I did a treat free month in January and ever since I am not as drawn to sugary stuff.

    I bought two bxes for myself a few weeks ago. But today, I told the guy at work I bought them from to donate them to
    Operation Cookie Drop. Although I will miss my dosidos, I feel good about giving them to our troops.

    WTG! As a GS leader and an over abundance of cookies in my house it has been hard for me. I had only 5 cookies in the past 2 weeks!!! If you need support you can FR me :)

    It was great too, wasn't it?!

    Yes, it was! I gave the rest of the box away. I have a box for my admin as well. But the mental lift as well as the self esteem I got was incredible.... I know it sounds silly, but i can eat a half a box of thin mints in just about 15 minutes!

    Oh, Congrats to all who are looking at this challenge and donated cookies or is a girl scout parent or leader! I havent missed a year of buying cookies.. Last year i gave ALL of my cookies away. It was really great to be in a place where i could eat just one!
