I am scared for my weigh-in tomorrow. This is why:
Me: 4 Boxes, thanks!
This is what happens when you miss out on Girl Scout cookies
one year. Last year we did not get ANY
GS cookies! Can you believe that?!! I think that was the first year something
like this has ever happened. So when the
little girl from a few houses down the street came by peddling her sweet cookie
goodies, I had to partake! This girl was
NOT missing out on her GS cookies this year!
Even if they come in the middle of my plan to get back to pre-baby
weight. Weeeeelllll, then my sweet
neighbor Kathryn came by with her cutie little girl Olivia. I couldn’t help it! I had to get more! I want to support these sweet girls and their
organization….Ok, that’s only partly the reason. I wanted to make sure I would have enough
cookies! [Wow, I sound like a pig!]
Back in late January:
Door: Knock, knock.
Me:
Who’s there?
Girl Scout: The sweet Girl Scout from down the
street! Would you like to buy some
cookies?
Me:
Yes! Of course I do! I love the Girl Scouts! [Read, I love
COOKIES!]
Girl Scout: How many would you like?Me: 4 Boxes, thanks!
[2 Days Later]
Door: Knock, knock.
Me: Who’s there?
Girl Scout: The sweet Girl Scout from across the
street! Would you like to buy
some cookies?
Me:
Yes! Of course I do! I love the Girl Scouts! [Read, I love even
more COOKIES!]
Girl Scout: How many would you like?
Me:
4 Boxes, thanks!

| Girl Scout Cookies! Yummm |
Now I am realizing, too many GS cookies is NOT a good
thing. I can’t resist them! They are sitting out on our counter calling
my name. When I should be reaching in
the fridge for a delicious 80 calorie Greek yogurt, the dang Samoas are saying,
“Psssst, hey lady. Wouldn’t you rather
have one or two of me than that diet
yogurt stuff?” Well, yeah of course I
would! But that’s 160 calories for two
of those tiny Samoas. I should have
eaten the yogurt. I already put one box
of thin mints in the freezer. Maybe I
should put the rest of the Samoas and Tag-a-longs in there too. Or maybe I should have just donated money
instead of buying 8 boxes this year! Bad
Leah!
I wonder if Matt would kill me if I brought the rest in to
the office to get rid of? They are
seriously what is making my daily calories go over my goal. Not Good!
If it’s not in the house, I don’t eat it and don’t even think about eating
it usually. This is a good lesson
learned. Don’t keep junk in your house
if you are trying to be healthy and lose weight! You are just playing with fire…or in this
case Girl Scout cookies!
