Girl Scout Cookies



Recommended Posts

I still want to support the girls, so when I get asked I will do the gift of caring or troop to troop where they are donated to soldiers and such, but man I miss Thin Mints!

I think I did pretty good. I brought 2 boxes of Thin Mints, 1 for me and 1 for my mom. So far, I've just been following the allowed serving size, which is 4. Plus I'm drinking lemon Water to help curb any cravings, since I'm on a strict carb allowance.

Maybe they could come up with Girl Scout-branded Protein shakes!

That's exactly what I made last night.

My daughter brought a box of thin mints home from work. Rather than choke her :), I made chocolate Protein shake and squirted some mint extract into it.

Not bad! Not a thin mint, but it got me through a near disaster!!!

I haven't seen a girl scout all year, except on the internet. In my previous town they would have been all over, here, nothing.

I bought two boxes of the thin mints and ate six Cookies. The family ate the rest and I won't buy any more boxes. Previous years I would have purchased 12 boxes and could easily eat half a box of cookies on one sitting. I call this progress!!!!

The mint chocolate Quest bars taste a lot like Thin Mints. That is what I hope will get me through!

I buy several boxes but only 2 go home with me, the rest are donated to the Girl Scouts military program ( the Cookies are sent overseas to our troops ) WIN WIN !!☺

I don't buy girl scout Cookies because the Keebler Elves make identical cookies for a fraction of the price all year long. I buy them occasionally and have no problem eating one cookie a day

The only thing is buying Cookies from the girls supports their troop and that's how they get to go on trips and do service projects so I try to buy when possible. It's basically a donation.

I bought five boxes of Thin Mints from a coworker. Gave two boxes each to my college daughters and one box to my mom. Too deadly for me to play with.

        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!

      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
