    I have often said the reason so many people break 'resolutions' is because we haven't learned to have one or two cookies. We fall down and give up. I could easily eat a box of thin mints too. And I am in the beginning stages of turning my whole life around. I won't say I won't ever have another GS cookie but I won't be bringing them into the house this year. The temptation is too great. So far I am doing well just staying on track despite the goodies my husband sometimes brings into the house. I mean I talk myself out of eating bananas all the time because they are so starchy, lol. I can't imagine the battle in my head from having those cookies at my finger tips.

    Thin Mints, although I haven't had any in years.

    It's OKAY to have one serving every now and then of your favorite cookie and work it into your calories.
    Moderation and self control.

    By self control you mean just having one box of Thin Mints, as opposed to two boxes, correct?

    I'm gonna get some Samoas and Tagalongs. Luckily, my max cookie limit in the past was a row. I think I can stick to a cookie a day.

    I bought some for occasional treats for me and the kids.

    Thin minds, Treffoils and samoas

    I love the samoas and tagalongs (peanut and chocolate!)

    I finally broke down on Saturday and bought a box of each from a girl scout outside CVS. When I got home, I looked at them and said to myself "you are not opening these". I can't stop at just one.

    Ended up bringing them to work on Monday and leaving them in the break area. They're all gone now...Whew! :)

    Not buying this year since I'm trying to change my eating habits, but I do love the samoas! Keebler has a look-a-like that is wonderful and available year round. I didn't know this until last year and couldn't believe I had never discovered them!

    frozen thin mints are my favorite. We had like 10 boxes of them I have only had three cookies out of the 9 boxes eaten. Once this last box goes, I am safe. My will power has changed drastically which helps. If i want one I eat one but usually I think that isnt going to help me achieve my goals so I pass.

    OMG that cookie looks delicious... Why don't we have these in Sweden??? D:<
    We have scouts... And ok, they're not girlscouts specifically since they let boys in too, but they're still scouts dammit!

    Samoas are my favorite. I have 2 a day. I bought about 8 boxes but once this box is done I will be tired of them. I freeze the others along with the 8 boxes of dosidos for my husband and trefoils for my son.

    Cookie Share is the absolute best cookie. You buy the cookies (any of the flavors) and the cookies are donated to a local food pantry to a family in need that otherwise wouldn't get these treats. Both my children are in Scouts and the best feeling (above all) is not the momentary gratification of burying myself face first into a roll of Thin Mints (although that was awesome) but knowing that I am giving to a local family who can appreciate them so much more...

    Two boxes of thin mints are stored nicely in the freezer. Four cookies are 160 calories. It doesn't bother me that they are there. At some point in the next few weeks I'll budget four into a planned cheat.

    Hey you're right, we do like the same cookies! I just now saw your post a couple above mine! :smile: I'm surprised not more people liked the Lemonades, they're so light, sweet, and delicious! I'm gonna stockpile those and the peanut butter patties this year, lol!

    Maybe that's why I haven't really lost weight in February ;)

    Are you all able to eat just 2 or 4 cookies? That is my plan. I have two boxes of thin mints in the freezer. Also love Tagalongs.

    Samoas are my favorite. DH has already taken out a box of them, but there is still another box plus 2 boxes of peanut butter patties in the house. I'm doing my best to avoid them, but I think I might have to reserve two samoas for an after workout snack lol

    I ordered two boxes and donated them to troops overseas. I wish I would have known about that sooner! Too cool!
