I'd take it, share it with my family, and then remember to travel by foot more and run a bit the next times I'm out and about.

1. take it to my office
2. send to husband's office
3. just get them outta my house!

Seriously, if these were delicious holiday cookies (made with real butter, eggs, etc.), I would indulge. Having some treats during a couple of holidays is not going to ruin one's fitness if that person has healthy habits during the rest of the year, and continue their exercise habit during the holidays. I've been doing this for years, and I haven't gained any weight or lost any fitness. In fact, over the last few years, I've slowly lost weight. Somehow, during the last few years, I've gone doing a dress size without doing anything different. I'm still very healthy, per my annual physical (and all my lab work was normal across the board).

I would also indulge! Well, I wouldn't eat the whole bag. I'd set maybe 3 or 4 cookies aside each for my husband, my daughter, my mother-in-law and myself. Everything else would go to either my office, my husband's shop, or I'd take them to a food pantry (so long as they're not going to be stale and gross before I take them there).

I use to just indulge on cookies I was "made" to take. But I just can't do it anymore. It's not worth anything that comes afterward.

Now, this is what I would do [and yes, it is kind of wasteful, but then again, the host should have never "wasted" the cookies on me!]:

I'd set aside two cookies from the bag. That's my treat.

Then I'd crumble the rest and give them back to the earth they came from.

It does no good for all of that stuff to be in my body, nobody else will eat them because they *know* how fattening they are, and if they stay *anywhere* in my vicinity I will eventually end up gorging on the whole bag. So, as sad as it is, they have to go, as quickly as possible.

Don't bring them to the office! It sucks for office workers trying to stay on the healthy track. But remember: just because someone gives you food, doesn't mean you're forced to eat it. Take want you want and toss the rest. It's just sugar and butter, it's not the end of the world!

Yeah, don't bring them to the office...seriously, every frickin' day I go into the lounge and there are a buttload of cookies/candy/etc. that people are trying to get rid of. If I get cookies from people, I usually give some of them to my husband, some to my friends and their kids, and I eat maybe one or two.

share em with friends, bring those treats to boyfriend's office! true true!

just don't..... hold them while watching your fave TV show!
