    I struggle with the same thing because my husband LOOOOOVES his movie popcorn and I feel like a supreme buzzkill if I tell him I can't leave it alone if he has some right next to me. Sometimes he and I share a large and that counts as a meal for us. We just try to make up the nutrition elsewhere in the day. Sometimes I just get the small for myself, which is still almost a normal meal's calories for me. This is WITHOUT the "butter" added to it. I never add that.

    On a couple of occasions we have planned to go out to lunch either right before or right after a movie, so we make a joint decision to skip the snacks entirely, and then enjoy our healthy meal.

    I hear ya!

    I love theater popcorn too, and I go to the movies a LOT! I don't carry a purse so taking in a clandestine bag of my own wouldn't work. There are some days I can resist geting any at all, but sometimes ya just gotta have it. On those days, I just count it as a treat, try to get a small bag rather than the large size or the bucket, drink lots of water because of the sodium, and eat light the rest of the day.
