Default I'm a popcorn free zone!

Can't believe that I'm saying this but I've just got home from the pictures and I didn't eat a large popcorn - in fact I didn't eat one single piece of popcorn! This is so unbelievable because if there was a popcorn monster then I would be it, it really is one of my favourite foods. Now I've got to admit that I did go to pizza hut before the cinema and ate a small individual pizza but normally I would have had both that and the popcorn and even probably pinched a few maltesers etc.

Hmmm I feel pretty pleased with myself now, todays temptation avoided.

Wouldn't mind but I didn't even particularly rate the film that much - The Last Kiss.

I wish I COULD eat popcorn. I like it plain with just a little flavored salt. However, I have diverticulitis and it can be a trip to the ER for me.

Congrats to you!

Thanks for the congrats everyone, now I just have to remember that I've done it once and can do it again.

Mare, I prefer the salted one too, I'm sorry you can't eat it - must be really difficult living with diverticulitis and having to avoid foods that you really enjoy.

Well done!!!! That's great! I used to eat popcorn EVERY time I went to the cinema, and coke, and ice cream...

I can't remember the last time I had popcorn, but I am planning on getting some of the good stuff on Friday as a treat

Well done! That's impressive!

I always got a large and asked them to do half salt, half sweet (I'm awkward like that!) One of the best foods there is! At the height of my weight loss regime, I also went without it - and later, I'd go armed with a 'healthy' snack... but now I just eat less before I go, then have a small popcorn!

I can't concentrate on the film unless I have a popcorn! (That's my excuse...)
