I Was Doing So Well

As a rule I don't make meaningful resolutions for the new year. I generally make fun ones that I will want to keep like going on a vacation, continuing my quest to get on the Oprah show and so on. This year against my better judgement I decided this would be the year I would get healthy, tone up, eat better. I have been doing so well and then IT happened:

Yes my friends it is Girl Scouts cookie time again! The time that cute little kiddos stand outside of the grocery store selling for a good cause and the time of the year that I am sure the owners of Weight Watchers look forward to. Of course it should be easy to politely decline, but who among us can turn down those adorable faces that are counting on us as the consumers to fund their Girl Scouts activities? I will not be responsible for little Suzy Q being on the street when she is 16 because I did not help to pay for this wonderful group who is giving her self esteem. Not to mention the fact that those little thin mints are so darn yummy. Combining two things I adore-chocolate and minty goodness...irresistible. The only problem is that the only thing thin will be those cookies, because my bootie will not be so if I keep eating them.
