Geesh! "A little bit goes a long way" certainly applies to eating goodies & gaining weight! It's Girl Scout Cookie time again, & they caught me off guard last weekend while shopping with daughter. I bought 2 boxes, & so did daughter. We're both trying hard to lose weight, but those naughty little girls with their cute, sweet little faces beaming at you are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to resist! Add to that the "feel good" fact that we're helping them earn badges & look good to their peers & leaders, & you've got a 1-2 punch to the gut, & that's exactly where it has hit me, LOL! I'm up 4 POUNDS from my FEB 16th weigh-in! Part of me wants to head to Walmart & kick some little Girl Scout butts, but the rational part of me (which hopefully will win out) says it's really ALL MY FAULT, & I just need to suck it up & keep on truckin. I feel like the cartoons, where the person has a little angel on one shoulder & a little devil on the other, & they're arguing it out like crazy! Oh well, regardless of the most recent "cause", it's an ongoing battle, & thankfully I now know what to do to win it. It's actually myself that needs a swift kick in the butt, first for overindulging in those yummy GS Peanut Butter cookies, & second for blaming my gluttony on a couple of sweet, harmless children. ~ But I could swear I saw an evil glint in their eyes as they handed me the cookies, LOL! (As you can tell, I'm feeling a bit conflicted right now). ;-D
