Well yesterday I did the dumbest thing ever!!!!
Here I am going along pretty good and I decide to go to the movies.
I'm thinking I can eat a little popcorn!!! Wrong!!!
I ate 2 medium buckets of popcorn and 1 with butter added. Only like 50 points or probably more!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have beaten myself up over it!!! I'm trying to stop myself and tell myself, just learn from your mistake and go on from there.
I did do 40 minutes of exercise this morning and back on track with my diet.
Well,they say confession is good for the soul!
On my scale at home it showed a weight gain of 3 lbs. Hopefully alot of that is the salt intake.
I guess I just need to get over and say I learned a lesson and vow never to buy a refillable bucket again at the theater, never put butter on it and stick to a small one if I just have to have it, or better yet, sneak in some 100 calorie from home!!!

Hi Exquisitern, I'm relatively new to the boards, but saw your post and had to comment. I think you've already figured this out yourself. Although you made a small slip, you've learned from it...you now have a plan for the next time you go to the movies. I think your plan to sneak in a 100 calorie bag from home is really good...this way, you can avoid the snack counter altogether and not worry about being tempted. So don't beat yourself up, 'cause you're already back on the right track. BTW, thanks for sharing...I'll be sneaking in my popcorn from now on, too.

Thanks bbobsgirl,
I appreciate it!
I just had to vent it! I figure, that way I can get over it and learn not to repeat stupid behavior!
Thanks again!

I agree bbobsgirl--you've already learned from the mistake, so don't beat yourself up about it too much. Way to go getting some exercise in, too--that should help get rid of the salt bloat. I love your idea of sneaking in a 100-calorie popcorn pack, so you still get some of the fun of popcorn at the movies.

Thanks andrea and healthychick.
Yea, I'm getting over it. I ate a healthy breakfast and lunch and plan to walk this evening if it doesn't rain. Anyway get back into the routine that I had started.
I don't plan on letting it stop me!! I just wish someone had beat me over the head yesterday!! lol
