Alright my favorite food in the universe is popcorn and one of my favorite things to do is go to the movies. Been trying to avoid the theater because I know the popcorn smell might take me over the edge and a small bag just doesn't cut it for me. Been eating healthy and back on track for 2 weeks now(I know not a long time at all), all day today all I can think of is popcorn! Its driving me bonkers, I am not hungry as I've had plenty of food (Oatmeal:with raisins and green apple, snack:walnuts and lunch: turkey burger) but for some reason even knowing I'm full all I want to do is pig out! I need to loose 25 lbs in 88 days so I don't have time to get back on track if I get derailed. Decided to write this post instead of cooking a pot full of freshly popped delicious popcorn!

Why not just make enough for one serving and don't add butter or salt. Try pepper or garlic/onion powder.

My understanding regarding popcorn is that it's not the popcorn but the butter, salt, oil on it. Especially the movie theater popcorn.

There are a couple schools of thought: For some, there are some foods are trigger foods that just have to be banished because they can't be sensibly rationed. Or the flipside, ignoring a craving and white-knuckling it can result in a bigger, badder binge down the line.

Sometimes it's better to scratch the itch (with a small indulgence) so you can move on. (If it's a trigger food, though, then that's probably terrible advice.)
