Weight loss amd the Girl Scouts

Pretty much every time you walk into or out of a Giant, Shoppers Food or Safeway, there are some incredibly adorable girls selling Girl Scout cookies. Sometimes it is briskly cold outside, and these cute young ladies are trying to raise money for their organization. How can one possibly walk by these tables and not buy something from them??? The way they make change is waaay too cute with their mothers helping them add numbers and make the correct change.

Perhaps the next door neighbor has knocked on your door selling these cookies and unless you want to be labeled the neighborhood Scrooge, you of course buy a number of boxes.

Okay, I admit it...there are probably 20 boxes of Tag Alongs sitting on top of my fridge at home. I have brought others into my office and leave them in the kitchen. These cookies are NOT part of any phase of our Serotonin-Plus dietary plan in case you were wondering.

Most recently, several of the Girl Scout groups offer some type of donation where the cookies you buy are sent to the troops overseas. This is a GREAT idea...or...just donate some money to the girls. It is soooo tempting to make that donation and come away with a box of great tasting cookies...or even if your intent is to give those cookies to someone else, please consider not walking away with those cookies because temptation may be heightened. Make that donation...have them send those cookies to the Troops, but do not collect boxes of Tagalongs!!!
