WARNING! WARNING!
This is a public service announcement.
Once a year we are all faced with the
most addictive substance known to man. A
substance that has been known to crumble and destroy many diets.
It is known in my neck of the woods as
the crack cocaine of food. They are
addictive and yet they are delicious.
They are hard to resist and you can never have just one.
What am I referring to?
Girl Scout Cookies!
Yes it is that time of the year where our little darlings go
around selling cookies and making me cut out dinner to eat them.
Oh when it was announced that it was time to start selling
cookies, I felt like an addict. I began to get panicky and …hungry. I felt so guilty for wanting to buy like a
million boxes.
Oh you tell yourself I am just helping out the neighborhood
girl scouts or I am just stocking up. I don’t plan to eat them all at once. I
am just going to freeze some of them so I can enjoy them year round.
I was feeling good about the life decisions I was making. I
cut down on my junk food intake, replaced it with fruit and healthier choices
but…
All it takes is something as delicious to throw a wrench in
my plan. It is hard to continue a diet
with the enemy on hand staring you in the face.
Why not avoid cookies this year you ask?
Well, being a Girl Scout troop leader and also a Girl Scout
mother, it cannot be avoided. I have to
support and I have to buy some. Believe
me I have been trying to make the all the sells go to other people’s
homes. I could also donate them to
Operation Cookie Drop, but…Did I mention that I am addicted to Girl Scout
Cookies.
When I sat down with the cookie order form I just continued to
think about my mantra…all things in moderation.
Because like I have been saying, this is a lifestyle change
and why can’t a box of yummy Girl Scout cookies be a part of my life.
I can be superman every day and repel junk food when I want
to. I am that strong. I am Superwoman in every aspect of my life
and this can be just one more thing.
Lest we not forget however…Superman did have kryptonite.
Darn you Girl Scout Cookies!!!! Darn you to Heck!!
