    LOL I would have made a beeline for those cookies and logged an estimation of however many I took.

    Next time, tell her "Thank you! I'll go get some as soon as I can." Then never go get them. She'll never know.

    Or bring a container you can hide, stick them in there, hide them, say you've had them, take them home, stick in freezer/cupboard to have at a later date.

    I would have had one and exercised off the calories today and/or tomorrow. There's nothing wrong with having a little indulgence on occasion as long as you are cognizant that you have to make the deficit up elsewhere. Your body doesn't burn EXACTLY ____ calories in 24 hours. I think if you have a 3500 (or 1750, or whatever deficit you're trying to maintain) over the course of the week, going over by a few hundred calories in a day won't hurt you.
