oh i definitely did that same thing to a sleeve of thin mints earlier this week. it was a very dark time, lol. those cookies are, i think, specifically designed to sabotage
most important thing is to realize that it's alright and that it won't kill you. Just continue on through the rest of the day and finish strong. that was it and you're back in control no worries.

Here is something I wrote about them a few years ago....

O.K. everyone, this is very important to everyone on My Fitness Pal. I was watching the news tonight and saw something very disturbing that will affect us all on here. It's due to hit our area in about 2-3 weeks. I like to call it G.S.C.S.!!!!
Now before you start go to google it, I will explain what it is. It hits every year around this time. Its not the cold of winter, or anything to do with the super bowl or even the dreaded taxes coming up soon. It's far more disturbing to all of us on here. What is it? It's Girl Scout Cookie Syndrome !
Yep, they are back. And this year, its going to be even worse. This can set us back for weeks!!
Who can resist the “ Mr, would like to buy a box of girl scout cookies? In one part of my mind, I am thinking, sure, support the girl's and troops, but in the other side of my mind, the dominant side, I am thinking, boy, those cookies are good and what if I don’t get them today? They may run out or they may not be here next week. Then what? I wont see them again for a whole year!!!
So next is what do I get? Of course I have to get the Thin Mints, they are my favorite. And of course, I do like those Tagalongs, as I like peanut butter. Then there is the problem that I like shortbread and maybe I missed it last year, but this year they have shortbread and chocolate chip shortbread! Can you imagine?
Then, the next problem is who came up with serving sizes? Really? 8 servings in a box of thin mints? Maybe for a 4 year old! To me, they are packaged the way they are for a reason. When you open the box, there are 2 cellophane packages inside. That’s done for a reason. 2 packages in a box, 2 servings, 1 for today and one for tomorrow. Any adult know that. If it was meant to be 8 servings, it would have been packaged that way.
Then there is the guilt of the purchase. OK, so I want 2 thin mints, 2 tagalongs, 2 shortbread and oh well, throw in 2 chocolate chip shortbread. Well I cant walk away with 8 boxes of cookies. And besides, it would be pretty embarrassing asking if they take American Express. So I of course say I am getting some for my family. I can see that little girl looking at me like, yeah right, you didn’t get that fat from giving away cookies and in her mind, I know shes thinking, see you next week.
So will I get them? Of course. I have to support the little girls. LOL
I just want to thank My Fitness Pal for preloading all the nutrition info in already, and yes I did look and bet a lot of you will too! Just type in girl scouts, they are all there!!

There’s no avoiding it. I am thinking of doing my shopping at midnight while those little girls sleep. That’s the only way I think I can win.
