Courage Confidence Character
That's what I'm reading off the box of Girl Scouts Thin Mints, and it's so true...
I had the Courage to eat half a box of them Thin Mints in the about 10 minutes in the morning, and finish the other half in about the same time in the afternoon.
I had the Confidence that I could eat all 7 servings (4 cookies per serving) in one day.
I had the Character to push through the last 4 cookies each time even though I was definitely feeling a sugar coma coming on.
Yes, I had a micro-second of Thin Mint remorse. But I swear I'll get off my Giant Mint shaped ass & start walking my 3 miles every day on March 1st.

Piggy Confessions 2
The yummy treats from Costco have caused me to tumble off the wagon again. This time it's the French chocolate truffles. Costco only brings these out around October so yeah, I got a Costco sized pack of these chocolate truffles in October. A Costco sized pack means two 2 pound 3.3 ounce boxes. Each box has two foil bags of yummy chocolate truffles.
The Nutritional Facts state that each serving size is about 5 pieces, and each container (each foil bag) contains about 24 servings. So let me do the math for you...I purchased 480 pieces of fat & sugar. But have you tasted this melt in your mouth chocolate delight?
I promised myself that I'd be good, but I had 2 servings in one day. I think my blood chocolate level was almost lethal that day.
Me, Myself and I decided an intervention was necessary. The next day when I went to see Mama Piggy, I gave her the rest of the truffles. Mama Piggy doesn't like chocolate so I wasn't putting her at risk. She loves to give those chocolate truffles to her bowling team. So it all worked out.
I'm sober now.

Piggy Confessions
So, uh, Costso sells a dozen fresh baked butter croissants for $5.49. Great deal, right? I was able to resist for six months. Then last weekend I caved.
The butter croissant monster will not be denied. She thought about sharing them for a fraction of a millisecond but decided she must have all 12.
I ate four within 20 minutes of getting home. Lightly toasted in the toaster oven or microwaved for 10 seconds. Washed them down with lactose free milk. All was good with this piggy's stomach.
All 12 were devoured by the next day.
Yes, I realize that's an enormous amount of calories. Which is why I didn't eat much else those two days...except when we went to the Colombian restaurant. That's a story for tomorrow. Right now I've gotta work off the extra back fat from them butter croissants.
PS - Thanks to Naughty Blonde for the Piggy Confessions idea.
