    after a hot day in the sun I don't reach for a beer at all :) And I love craft beer, but even when I go to a micro-brewer I ask what dark choices they have. I work in a bar, and the whiskey I drink while at work is well whiskey 2.50 a shot, tiny bit of coke, and two pieces of ice. It can be downed in between needy customers. But tonight when I go in, I shall swirl my faux stache and talk about liking music before it cool :wink:

    And light beer is a heinous abuse of natural resources.
    What are you talking about?! Guinness only has 120 calories; that's less than 2 cookies. It's definitely light...

    You can stay. But I'm not drinking Guinness. NB 1554 or GTFO.

    As long as we're talking trash, New Belgian sucks. Odell, same town in Colorado, is a million times better, times one million, plus infinity.

    The sad thing is that this guy at work has more of them and I'm tempted to buy another box.

    130 calories for 2 cookies. 7 servings in a box. That's 910 calories. How do I stop eating more?

    Fill yourself up so you aren't hungry at all... eat eggs and bacon for breakfast - do something so that the idea of eating the cookies is unappealing. and what everyone else says, buck up, log it and move on. or, if needed, address the reasons you are eating - most likely emotional, not physical.

    She meant color, I'm assuming. But I guess I've made that clear by now.

    I'm pretty sure by "light beer" she meant "light beer"...

    ...as in lower calorie light beer (aka goat urine).

    Nah..goat urine has more (and probably better) flavor than light beer

    If I had eggs and bacon for breakfast, girl scout cookies would be a perfect dessert!

    No, I mean calories. But thank you for your input.

    And I will NOT grow up. You can't make me. YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!

    I like guiness, a local place here has a jack Daniel porter that I would buy by the keg. there is one called Rouge I like, Negra Mondelo is good. I think the moral of the story is I don't like beer... I like beer that resembles chocolate :)

    I just thought that if she knew what was in them, it might make it harder to eat them. That's all. Sometimes that works for me.

    I you're trying to share scientific facts, Food Babe is not the place to start.

    I found a foolproof way to resist temptation when it comes to girl scout cookies, which are delicious.

    Develop an already to peanuts and one to soy.

    Unfortunately this is not widely applicable. When I started controlling my food intake, I realized quickly that I simply can't keep cookies around regularly. They are too delicious.

    You can stay. But I'm not drinking Guinness. NB 1554 or GTFO.

    As long as we're talking trash, New Belgian sucks. Odell, same town in Colorado, is a million times better, times one million, plus infinity.

    Clearly we don't know each other. I'm familiar with said town and ALL of the breweries there, and many in the surrounding area. NB and Odell are merely the two in the area which are well known. However, if I were to start listing my favorites from one of the many far-superior breweries from said towns, the references would be lost on people as these brews are not distributed nationally. I try to keep my discussion relevant to the group.

    I'm a beer geek, not a beer elitest. Nice to meet you.

    I'm wearing a shirt from Equinox Brewing and a Black Bottle Brewing beanie as I sip a Citradelic Tangerine IPA from New Belgium that I opened with my Odell Brewing key chain opener and poured into my double walled stainless cup from Telluride Brewing. The Zwei Brewing coaster wasn't necessary for this cup.

    Look up alternative, healthier, snack items and stock up on them. I have a weakness for the vanilla girl guide cookies and the Fruit Creme Peek Freans. I know if I buy them I will eat them all. So I don't buy them. I find alternate sweet snacks. Right now, my freezer is rocking' frozen banana PB choc bites. Not the same but I can easily quit at 2.
