Re: movies and popcorn...NOT
My favorite alternative is "money in my wallet."
Seriously.
The food they have there is overpriced AND unhealthy. And they don't like it if you bring your own (which is why walk softly and carry a big purse.)
If you MUST snack, bring fresh veggies and a bottle of water. Perhaps a cheese stick and some deli meat or pepperoni.
Personally, I just eat a snack before I go, then have a meal afterwards.START 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170

Pepperoni sliced, cheese, veggie sticks.
Again, if you aren't hungry, don't eat for the sake of eating or "because I always eat something at the movies." Get rid of the eating habits that have put you on a weight loss diet in the first place.

Re: movies and popcorn...NOT
pork rinds
water
pepperoni slices and jicama slices
celery pieces
cheese chunks
Take a baggie, cut up bite sized pieces of the celery and jicama and add the pepperoni slices and a couple ounces of cheese in bite size pieces. Now you have a "trail mix" so to speak to just munch on. You could add some pork rinds into this too.~Joy

Re: movies and popcorn...NOT
I've been to the movies twice so far on induction (this is not a common occurrance for me to go that frequently, just happened) but when I do go, I've ALWAYS had popcorn, sour worms, and chocolate candy.
Now, I just ate a big supper before going, so I was full. And decided to break old habits altogether by not eating anything. I was even able to pass the popcorn bucket back and forth between my family, and not grab a handful.

I cannot bear to go to the movies w/o popcorn. However, on my 2nd day of induction I took the kids....I brought cheese and cuke slices and amazingly I survived!!!!!! Pepperoni sounds good too. can you have pork rinds on induction???????????????????SWIMR4

Re: movies and popcorn...NOT
As a fellow movie goer I beg you please don't bring a pickle. There are lots of other good choices and pickles just have such a strong smell.Originally posted by Thumper1616I was thinking of taking in a pickle and some pork rinds....
I'm kind of stressing because I am one of "those" people doens't normally eat popcorn but can down an entire bag of movie popcorn....Grant
