I learned two lessons this week: 1) If I must buy nuts, buy a package with one or two servings, not by the pound. 2) Don't buy girl scout cookies. Just pay the four dollars and tell them to give the cookies to somebody else. > I learned two lessons this week: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 2) Don't buy girl scout cookies.

Buying Girl scout cookies but giving them away !!!!!! I'm hoping to get stronger too:):) glo >I learned two lessons this week: > > 1) If I must buy nuts, buy a package with one or two servings, not by the > pound. I buy mine by the pound but immediately divide them into single servings when I get home. It works for me but not my DH who can easily just grab 3 snack bags instead of 1. > 2) Don't buy girl scout cookies. Just pay the four dollars and tell them > to give the cookies to somebody else. I started doing this a few years ago since I get a lot of kids selling cookies, candy, and other junk for fund raisers.

I found this method just doesn't work for me. Not one of those little servings ever saw the bike trails<g> We get several co-workers selling the Girl Scout cookies for their daughters. A few years ago some of us decided to buy them and then deliver them to a nearby homeless shelter. Beverly >> I learned two lessons this week: >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > doesn't work for me. Not one of those little servings ever saw the > bike trails<g> I've learned to control myself with the trail mix. We almost always have it around, as DH likes it as a snack. But knowing that one handful is 150 calories, (1/4cup), I try to keep that in mind when I have some myself. > We get several co-workers selling the Girl Scout cookies for their > daughters.

Made it that much easier for me. :) Although I believe a few coworkers have used the "leave cookies in the kitchen" tactic as well. >I learned two lessons this week: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >2) Don't buy girl scout cookies.

I've heard that you can freeze them (in theory... mine have never made it that far) :-) On a related note, I love the creme filled vanilla girl guide cookies... but Oreo now makes a tran-fat free 'golden' orea that tastes just as good and is a little healthier. I find it very difficult to exercise proper portion control with nuts. So, I limit the nuts in the house. When I reach goal, I plan to go nuts with nuts. I have not eaten a cookie in at least 15 months. I may never again. > I learned two lessons this week: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 2) Don't buy girl scout cookies.

I have not eaten a cookie in 20 months. Signature223/173.2/180 I do miss cookies, but I don't often think about it. > > I have not eaten a cookie in at least 15 months.

I make my own yummy dough, scoop and freeze it, then bake one or two each evening. I'm never tempted to have more or bake them at any other time. What I *don't* do is buy Oreos - and they were always my favorites. What do I miss? Big juicy bacon cheeseburgers. YMMV Signaturegrrrrr - Rain!

Big juicy bacon cheeseburgers. Personally, I am glad that I gave up cookies and not big juicy pieces of meat... YMMV indeed...

YMMV indeed... And I'm glad that I didn't give up either one :-). But I don't like bacon on my burgers, and I honestly find I prefer turkey burgers to beef ones nowadays. After last night's big dinner, neither of these sounds tempting :-). I just drank a protein shake, since I wanted to have something this morning, but I have no appetite yet. I'm trying to think of something to put in my bag to take to work for lunch, but nothing sounds good.

I do that all the time with (junk) food kids are selling -- give them the money and tell them to keep the candy. Mary |
