Willpower FAIL

 Kryptonite is to Superman what these are to me:


For those of you who live under a rock and might not recognize these, they are a (half-eaten) box of my favorite Girl Scout cookie ever-- Carmel D'Lites.  (Or, as I like to call them, the artists formerly known as Samoas.) Pretty much the most scrumptious 70 calorie cookie you could ever devour. They are chewy, caramel-y, coconutty, and doused in chocolate. Heaven in one flat, donut-shaped bite.  

That said, I'd like to take this opportunity thank the smiley, cherubic little Daisy of Girl Scout Troop 230 for delivering to me today, and thus reminding me about the seven (7) boxes of cookies that I impulsively purchased from her weeks and weeks ago. (long before operation "lifestyle change slash get my body back" was in full swing.)  Two full weeks of hard work at Zumba, yoga, and the gym, and this shows up on my doorstep:





If any of you would like to assist me in getting back on the health wagon, please come to my house, open my freezer, and help yourself to a box (or 7) or cookies. PLEASE! The happy, smily faces on the Carmel d'Lites are calling my name and it's only a matter of time....





P.S. In other news, I'll have you all know that these bad boys are up to $4 a box-- a far cry from the $1.10/box they were when I was a Daisy back in 1987. Even taking into account inflation, this is absolutely absurd...which begs the question,what the hell was I thinking?!  At least they're freezable...

I still think we should just eat them all in a day... Let's handle this like a bandaid... Quickly! And quite deliciously I might add.
