The title is a joke, obviously. :)
My friend was selling Girl Scout cookies outside of the school gymnasium where we were visiting my daughter’s science fair the other day. After we were done, we bought a few boxes of cookies to bring home with us. My favorite Girl Scout cookie of all time is Samoas.
As I was enjoying a couple cookies at home, I started thinking about how I would never willingly want to go on a diet that wouldn’t allow Girl Scout cookies. I’d understand if health concerns or allergies wouldn’t allow, but to give up cookies solely for weight-loss purposes; I don’t think so. There has to be another way!
Thankfully, in my case, there is another way. At this time, I don’t have any health restrictions that would prevent me from having cookies, sugar or gluten. So, I enjoy them in moderation, and I can still lose weight. What gets me in trouble is when I don’t practice moderation with them, or with any food for that matter.
Eating out of balance is what got me to my highest weight. I was using food to soothe instead of to fuel. That’s something that is likely always going to be a struggle of mine. Right now, I’m very self aware of it and I am taking action every day to work on creating more balance in my eating and lifestyle in general. Blogging helps keep me focused on my needs, my downfalls, and my goals.
Thanks for visiting today! If you get a moment, share your favorite Girl Scout cookie in the comments!
