Re: The Battle of Girl Scout Cookies
It's funny you mention the sniffing thing. I recently have found myself sniffing various foods (Twizzlers, cookies, cake, etc.). I'm not sure why I do it, but each time I do, either (a) the smell is enough for me to say "Ok, that was interesting/good" or (b) "Hmmm...doesn't smell as good as I thought it would..." Sure, I know I'm probably tempting fate, but there's something really empowering about smelling the foods, putting them down and walking away. Very odd behavior indeed...- M/37

Re: The Battle of Girl Scout Cookies
I used to think that walking into the grocery store and smelling all that baking was "mmm" ... the longer I was on Atkins, the more icky it started to smell ... and being in the aisle with the Jello ... you can almost see the sugar dust in the air!
I still enjoy a "visit" a "real" chocolate display ... truffles, etc. ... the desire to eat it just isn't there anymore.J.

Congrats on being strong!!
On the smell thing:
I put a vanilla scented air freshener in my bedroom, I have no idea why, but I think the smell is enough....Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. - Dale Carnegie

Re: The Battle of Girl Scout Cookies
This thread made me laugh so hard! I am also a sniffer! I have recently found myself encouraging my ideally-weighted husband to order dessert when we go out and then I grill him on how it tastes, would he order it again, etc. He always says it's awful as he finishes off every last bite.

Re: The Battle of Girl Scout Cookies
Last night I buried my face into a big bag of M&Ms... yum! Hubby worried I was going to eat some, but I said nope! just wanted to enjoy the aroma...
Thin Mint girl scout cookies is a major weakness of mine... thank GOD they are only available once a year... although when I discovered that Keeblers chocolate mint Grasshopper cookies were so similar I jumped for joy way back then... Nobody in my house likes them, so fortunately I don't have that temptation around...F/46/5'2" - 249/198/115
