Oh mannnnnnn,

I went to see a movie last night and managed to polish off an entire large bucket of popcorn to myself. I had originally planned to share it, but my friend decided she wasn't hungry after all. Instead of stopping myself, i just ate and ate and ate. It tasted soooo good. You can imagine my mortification when i entered it into my food diary and it came up 1680 CALORIES!!!!! OH MY GOD. That is more than i'm supposed to have in an entire day!!!!!

I feel so crummy.
:sad:
Why don't they make popcorn that's not as bad for you at theatres???

    Popcorn is the worse. I can easily sit down and eat a whole bucket. In fact I am sure I have once or twice. I was also bad last night - cheese balls. OH they were so yummy. The girls and I sat down to watch Camp Rock and before I knew it the bucket was gone. You sit there a minute thinking humm where did they all go. But can't beat myself up over it - just need to get in a good hard workout today and bounce back.
