Girl Scout Cookies!

Day 140

It’s that time of year again. Yep, Girl Scout Cookie time.


I have two nieces who are Girl Scouts and I try to be a good uncle and buy at least one box from each of them. Yeah, I am buying cookies but it’s all for a good cause.

The cookies arrived last week and I picked up for and paid for my one box of thin mint cookies and my one box of Tagalongs.

Those who are familiar with Girl Scout Cookies know that Tagalongs are a chocolate covered peanut butter patty cookie and are just irresistible. I sat down to do some writing soon after picking up this year’s order from my sister’s kids and consumed the whole box of Tagalongs in one sitting. I swear that they don’t put as many cookies in each package as they used to but, nonetheless, I still chomped down that whole box within a time span of just ten minutes.

We all have our guilty eating pleasures and none of us is immune to them one-hundred percent of the time.

The box of Thin Mints I left on my sister’s dining room table with this note attached:

Oh $#*%! I Had Chocolate!

Day 66

One of my stocking stuffers this past Christmas was a bag of Lindor Truffles. Over the course of the week between Christmas and New Year’s, I devoured all 45 pieces that the shiny crimson bag contained. I was munching on them while watching movies at home, driving in the car and etc.

I got them for Christmas—what was I supposed to do, throw them out?!

I have heard horror stories of unhealthy vegetarians. These are usually people that, even though they have eliminated all meat from their diets, still eat unhealthy by devouring tons of junk food.

Why give up meat to be healthier if you still have other unhealthy eating habits you still cling to? Going meatless was also an excuse for me to look at what else I eat and to reflect upon unhealthy eating habits I’ve had in the past. A couple of examples I will write about in this space soon.

I think it’s okay to please your sweet tooth every now and then but not in regular and huge amounts. My holiday chocolate binge was an exception and not the rule.

And what a sweet exception it was.
