I am being really strict on my calories today because it is my rest day from exercise. My family is headed to the movies shortly, so I looked up what a small, unbuttered popcorn at Regal Cinemas is for calories. I guess I'll pass since I want to eat dinner. No wonder it's hard to lose weight if you're not paying attention! :frown:

Yeah, tell me about it. I have had to change plans a couple of times recently when I would have liked to go see a movie but couldn't justify another cheat day for the popcorn. Movie theatre popcorn is quite possibly my biggest weakness in the sense that I am physically unable to go to a theatre and NOT eat it. Nothing else will do and I'd be wasting my money on a movie cuz I wouldn't be able to concentrate on it for all the popcorn porn that would be going on in my head.0

Ummmm... I've been known to make healthier popcorn at home and sneak it in for me and the kids ina bag in my purse. I've also snuck in water for us, too. I don't think I should have to pay exhorbitant rates for very unhealthy food when I can save $ and my health at the same time.0

I guess a diet coke will have to do for me. :ohwell: I don't want to NOT go because of the popcorn (chocolate has a bigger pull for me - kind of like your love of popcorn). The fact that my sons (who are 18 and 20) actually WANT to have a family trip to the movies today makes me not want to skip it for the world. I'll just smell their popcorn and be happy.0 -

LOL!!!!!! I'm like that about the icee's and sweets! I don't know what I will do in November when the new Twilight movie comes out. I always see it with the same group of girls. We have a nice dinner then junk it up at the movies. I guess I will save all my calories that day for that one trip! LOL!0 -

My DH and I sneak stuff in every time we go. Of course, we have not been since starting our new lifestyle. But you can still sneak in water and 100 packs of already popped popcorn and a skinny cow candy bar.0
