Moderation my Arse

Sad thing is, I would still try to eat those "bad" cookies. LOL

There are certain foods that I can do in moderation. Those foods that I know I will devour I can't keep in the house. Chocolate Turtles with the pecans. Yeah, I can't buy a box of those because by hook or by crook I will fini**** all. Moderation be d*mned!

Last year, I discovered that our local Girl Scouts accept donations of cookies to send to military members serving overseas. So now I'll hand them a $5 bill and tell them to pick out a box "for the troops." I get to support a good cause, and that crack gets nowhere near my house!

Julie I used to do the same thing. The jackass over confident person I thought I was thought I could do it in moderation.

My digestive track is not happy with me this morning at all.

I do this with my girlfriend's daughter -- I buy boxes and ask her to give them to lonely elderly or even homeless people in our area. I know her well enough to know she does JUST THAT -- and it gives her daughter a chance to spend time with some lonely people in their church.

Julie, that's exactly what I do!!! When my DH whined, that I didn't buy HIM any cookies, I gave him the web addy, for the Army recruiter...you'd think he would know better, after all these years....

But Julie, didn't you hear that little voice coming from the boxes as you were driving them to where ever? Open me, taste me, 1 won't hurt ya

Me, too. I have given in to the adorable little darlings and purchased two boxes, which I tell them to keep and give to the next soldier, police officer, EMT, or firefighter they see. If they don't see one, I tell them to give them to someone else or to the food bank.

Yeah....I absolutely cannot have those in my house, nope nope nope....because my brain is convinced that 2/3 of the box of tagalongs = a serving.

Good on you for giving away the rest!

2/3? Really? You get away cheap. My mind would torture me until the entire box was gone, and then if I did not feel sick I would open another box.
