New Year’s Resolutions And Girl Scout Cookies

New Year’s Resolutions and Girl Scout Cookies

Now, you may be thinking, hmmm, those things don’t go together. Unless your resolution was support female entrepreneurs, in which case carry on. No, what I’m talking about is the big New Year’s Resolution I’ve heard about since I was little - weight loss. Whether it’s losing the few pounds you put on with holiday food or a grander goal, many people look to the new year to lose weight.

I’m here to tell you not to tell impressionable young girls who are selling Girl Scout cookies about your weight loss or dieting. In fact, don’t talk to any kids or teens about weight loss.

I don’t care how good your intentions are, how much you think you need it, whatever generation you were raised in, etc. This is not the time for weight loss talk. Did you know that 46% of 9-11 year olds are “sometimes or often” on diets? (x) What about that 50% of teenage girls (and 30% of teenage boys) restrict calories to lose weight? At critical developmental stages, these kiddos are losing vital nutrients and calories that help them grow, their brains develop, and help them develop eating habits for life. From the Mayo Clinic: “In fact, weight talk — both the teasing and the well-intentioned comment — is associated with continued weight problems, increased weight, unhealthy dieting habits and a risk of eating disorders.”

The Girl Scout cookie program is designed to teach valuable skills like business ethics, communication, and confidence. Don’t corrupt something that we all love by talking about your weight.

this. Just this. All my friends are in the get married have kids stage of life and I am just like: have a lumpy quilt, it is a little lopsided but full of love.

After much deliberation I've decided I'm gonna start making quilts and I'm going to make sloppy messy quilts for everyone I love then slowly but surely I'll be making beautiful quilts for everyone I love and I will have a fucking ball along the way and your homes will all be full of quilts.

Secret recipes are so silly to me. Someone asking for the recipes for something I’ve cooked is, to me, the highest honor I could receive. To deprive them of that recipe is absurd. If you like my soup so much you want to cook it that is an absolute honor! It almost certainly came from some box clipping anyway. Here, have a list of all the ingredients I used! Riff, remix, mess it up six hundred times before you perfect it I don’t care! Make it your own. To me the sacred part of food is the joy and love it brings, who am as a mere mortal to deprive you of a recipe?

my bestie is always going on about how she wants to live in the *big city* but she can’t deal with the night screams we hear outside our small town apartment. Like I love you girlie but let’s be real Patrice, do you think there are not night screams in New York? I bet they night scream a lot in New York.

Idk when talking to conservative friends I don’t say things like “everyone deserves healthcare” or “women should have the right to govern their own bodies” because yknow what’s more effective? “I’m having trouble getting my medication figured out for the summer because of the new restrictions” or “yeah can’t afford a doctor here so I guess I just deal with the issue lol” once you make it personal it’s not just some nameless person who should’ve managed their money or time better. It’s a friend.
