    I bring in an empty 32oz water bottle and fill it with ice and water at their soda machine. I seldom eat at the movies, but when I do I'm a sucker for nachos. DH usually gets popcorn, but as I'm not a huge fan of popcorn I may eat a few pieces of his but in no way would I get my own. Of course, I also seldom go to the movies - the last time I was in the theater to see a movie was last summer.

    Our theater allows you to bring in your own food items that they do not offer if you call in advance. A girl in my WW meeting got permission to bring in her own snacks by explaining that they do not offer healthy snacks and asking if they would allow her to bring her own healthy snacks. She just has to drop the name of the person she spoke with if anyone asks about her bringing her own food in.

    I don't go very often. So when I do go, I either get nothing, or I split a small or medium popcorn with a friend. I use to get really into packing my own snacks...but that gets exhausting (maybe if I had kids, I'd deal, but just for ME...meh).

    So if I really have the munchies and find myself wanting some, I have half of a small or medium, and that satisfies me. Its horrible, sure...but I have movie popcorn, 3 times a year, tops. If that were enough to kill me or make me fat...well, I'd just give up now. And die.

    I used to bring my own pop and candy and share a large popcorn with my mom. :embarassed: Haven't been to the movies in forever though. Now I would probably bring grapes, carrots, cocoa roasted almonds, or air popped popcorn.

    jerky and water.
    It's only a couple of hours, I only take food if it's going over a meal time.
    I can wait till later to eat otherwise.

    I eat popcorn at home before I go to see a movie, and then I don't need anything to eat while I'm there. Plus, I don't feel like I'm missing out on a treat.:tongue:

    I dont bring anything or eat anything.
    I make sure I am full going in and its never a problem.

    Me, too. Usually we'll go for dinner beforehand so we're not hungry. A Coke Zero suits me for the time it takes to watch the movie.
