Going to the movies tonight with a group of friends. Im bringing a bottle of water and thats it. My boyfriend will buy popcorn, candy and soda. I will try to do my best to pass it up.

Resist the overpriced, over buttered, sugar coated junk! Stick a couple of carrot sticks in your purse or some granola

mmmmm good idea. Thanks!

Granola might not be a good idea. At least not the regular kind. It has about 500 calories per cup. HUGE calories.

I was always way too cheap for movie theatre snacks - dried fruit works good too (and fits in a purse easily).

I buy some granola that's in the natual section of the store, can't remember the brand but it had dried fruit in it like cranberries and it's only about 320 per cup, if you look around you can find it. But I personally can't sit down and eat a cup of granola, but a couple of handfuls as a snack is great, and way healthier than sugary candy or buttery popcorn which would be near triple the amount of calories Only you can decide how many calories you want to have at any given time and what form they are in. I love the dried fruit idea too Glory, I will have to pick some up for just such an occasion.

I usually buy a diet soda, eat three twizzlers (stolen from my dd) and have a pria bar (110 cal). I sit far away from ds and his mega popcorn, toopid skinny kids.

Haha that's funny! Too bad you couldn't hypnotize all of us to believe ALL junk food smelled. That would work. Imagine not wanting a stinky chocolate bar, because it smelled pooey.

oh I forgot to come back and post that I did great that night. My boygriend sat right nest to me with a huge bag of popcorn and a Sprite and I didnt touch it at all! Yeah me!

That must have been tough. Good going. That took strength... I would have just probably avoided going!!

Good for you! I am proud of you! And I agree with the others who suggested taking your own snack.

Great for you! That's a VERY tough feat to accomplish. Way to go!!!
