    If you purse is big enough, sushi takeout, a Cadbury fruit & nut chocolate bar, and a flask of Jack Daniels.

    This is why I always have a huge purse *nods* I would swap the JD for G'n'T though

    -small packet of chips ( cause it will fulfill my craving for popcorn but as it will be the smallest size i can find it will be low cal)
    -sparkling water

    Water. I am rethinking when and why I eat. Am I eating at the theater because I am hungry and need a snack or am I eating because it's a habbit or time filler?

    I don't. I'm never hungry at the theater. I eat a good meal/snack beforehand.

    I always bring my own snack(s), whether it's cereal, a granola bar or two, pretzels... something I like to snack on, but isn't full of nasty "stuff" :P

    I just eat popcorn with no extra butter and bring my own bottle of water, if I want to get crazy I drink a soda lol. It could be worse than popcorn!

    ^ This. I have tried every strategy in the book. pack a healthy snack, eat before, just order a small, and on and on and on. But once that haunting aroma hits my nose and I get to order it turns into "Large Popcorn, Large Drink please...That comes with a free refill right?":laugh:

    Now I will just fast up until the movie, which is what I will doing this weekend when I go see the New Star trek and/or Fast & Furious 6

    Last time I caught the early show during lunchtime, I had a couple of soft pretzels. Next time I'll sneak in some trail mix.

    Bring your own gum or just don't eat there. Better yet, eat before you go because that popcorn smell is a killer.

    I go to the movies maybe 2 or 3 times per year....I don't "diet" when I'm at the movies...

    - Large popcorn with free re-fill w/extra butter

    - package gummy worms/bears

    - Nachos

    - Lg. Soda

    Popcorn gets shared with my wife...rest is all mine.

    Nothing, I eat a meal before going so I'm not hungry. Or I pack a 100 calorie popcorn bag in my purse.

    My recommendation is to eat before or after the movie, not during.
