brennasmom 24 Posted February 22, 2015 Waiting for Insurance approval. But it is Girl scout cookietime here in Alaska and I was wondering how people deal with these great Cookies. I am a GS leader and Cookie parent/manager. Seeing there will probably not be a bariatric cookie in the near future-just curious and also looking for some tips on how to handle the cookie situation. Thank you in advance. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoosieGirl 25 Posted February 22, 2015 I made a thin mint inspired Protein Shake today. Could probably figure out a Samoa one, too. Oh, and we'll be buying a box or two. One goes to work with hubs and the other gets split into small baggies for school lunches. I won't be eating any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted February 22, 2015 You can still buy some and freeze them (if you have willpower to have them in your home) you can use them sparingly as a treat. I stopped using food as a treat though. I buy clothes, makeup ect... Anything not edible. That's just me though. If you don't think you will have the willpower to not eat a bunch then don't buy them. It's not worth it or buys some to give as gifts if you just want to help support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aSleeveStory 128 Posted February 22, 2015 My niece is a girl scout and selling the Cookies... I bought a box in support, ate ONE cookie, and gave the rest to a friend. Was great to sneak a taste, and honestly that was all I needed. If you've got the will power to keep from tearing into the whole box, a single cookie once in awhile is a great treat. My Nut and support folks all advocate a small cheat when you hit a stall to switch things up and help your body back into loss mode... so the occasional thing like this not only doesn't make me feel guilty, I feel like it helps some. Just don't overdo it. (Or over justify it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocean4dlm 16 Posted February 22, 2015 The only way I can cope is to tell myself I am allergic to them, and it is a matter of life and death. Thin Mints are a major trigger for me... frozen or room temperature. For me, there is no such thing as one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chele H 427 Posted February 22, 2015 My daughter was a Girl Scout for years, never saw the appeal of the Cookies, to me they are no better than a cookie you can buy in the grocery store. Keebler makes cookies similar to the thin mint and samoa and once I saw how little money the troop actually gets from the $4 per box price I never bought another box.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted February 22, 2015 I am the one oddball. I hate GS Cookies. They taste plastic and fake to me so GS season comes and goes and I never bat a lash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
