WARNING::: Girl Scout Cookie Time ;-(



Recommended Posts

So, they came to the door and my wife bought a box of samoas and a box of thin mints. I love samoas and several others but the thin mints are awful. I already ate 1/2 box of the samoas.

I'll be visiting the grocery store during the school days to avoid the little tykes stands of processed bleached flour, refined sugar with many other unsavory ingredients.

I used to buy a box or two and they would send them to the troops. But, last year not many Moms wanted to do that?

So, take my advice and grocery shop while they're in school or face the temptation but mostly, those cute little faces in their little uniforms begging for your money?

Oh yeah I already saw them at the grocery store here. They were parked over by the exit door so I exited through the IN door. I had to stay away from those temptresses and their d*mned delicious Cookies or I'd have been victim to their sweet siren call for sure!!

My niece is now a full fledged Girl Scout. I did buy a bunch of Cookies from her but I will be taking them to work to give them away. Fortunately since surgery nothing sweet tastes good. I'm all about the salty savory foods now.

Every year BOTH my graddaughters sell the Girl Scout Cookies. I buy, but send them all to the troops. These boxes count the same a ones you keep, do not know why mothers would care?

I think ones bought for the troops do not count toward the local groups "numbers".

A co-worker approached me the other day selling for his daughter. I simply stared at him and said, "you know I just had weight loss surgery and as of today I have lost 30 pounds, and you are trying to sell me Girl Scout Cookies? " The conversation ended there.

I am a Girl Scout leader and a lap band patient. I don't know why any moms/leaders would have a problem with you buying boxes for the military (known as Gift of Caring) the girl scout troop still gets the same credit/proceeds as it would if you purchased a box for yourself. I encourage this option a lot because unlike purchasing a box and sending it to someone you know, with the gift of caring you don't have to worry about shipping or the Cookies calling your name while they're waiting to be shipped :) And the girls still make $ off your purchase so everyone wins

Did u ask if they had any that we're sugar free or low in Calories or high in Protein I love peanutbutter Cookies or the coconut ones but I know it's a no no for me so I try to keep frozen yougurt & nuts around so I can get my sweet & salty I mean either sugar free or non fat frozen yougurt cause then I think it's Ice cream and I can have some fruit & nuts with it yumm so good but I don't think I will buy any girl scout cookies of course if I did I would just say to the hose ther's cookies and they would be gone in 60 seconds so I wouldn't have any trouble cause I wouldn't get any lol like most sweets in my house Oh did I mention I have teen age boys.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
