Girl Scout Cookie Time! ARRGHH!



Recommended Posts

I knew this day was coming.

My daughter sells the Cookies. She's been a scout for 10 years now. I've always taken them to work, to sell to coworkers. In prior years, I could easily put away a whole box of Cookies in one sitting.

Now that I'm sleeved, I think I'll be able to refrain ... but it's going to be hard. Especially when I see my coworkers chomping down on THIN MINTS....

Lord give me strength!

I'm in the same boat! I have 2 daughters in Girl Scouts, I am selling them at work, but I'm not touching them for myself!

Good Luck and stay strong.

PS - Samoa's are my kryptonite!

I used to reason with myself.... "Half the box of Samoas is air anyway, they don't pack 'em in like they do with Thin Mints, so it's OK eating a whole box of Samoas at one sitting".

This is our first year not selling. I am not usually a "gotta have it" gs cookie person but each year I would want one and then sit and eat half of a box, or more and then not touch them the rest of the year. Now that i am sleeved, i get stomach flu like symptoms from sugar (i tried a cookie on christmas eve).

I will not be buying any Cookies, but i will be donating to them when i see them at the stores.

Last year while selling cookies in front of the grocery store, people would hand me $4 and say "give a free box to the next person". I plan on doing that also. I love playing pay it forward :)

nikiw714, our troop also will send boxes of Cookies to the troops in Iraq or Afghanistan if you tell them to. Just buy a box and say "give it to the troops". We ship a whole pallet over there each year.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
