Bought popcorn at the movie tonight

[Porcelain]

For those of you that know me, know I haven't been feeling so great lately. After class today, I was invited to the movies (Ironman, I LOVED IT) Anyway, I decided I would get some popcorn. I hadn't had any in forever and I had been craving it horribly lately. So, I bought me some...a kid's pack and I am glad I did.

I had been reminiscing how it tasted for the past few days...remembering how wonderful it was. Everything was fantastic, at least until I tasted it. You see, the reason I am glad I bought it is because it tasted horrible. I ate about five pieces and I just couldn't eat any more. I made a face and my husband looked at me. I simply replied "If it just isn't the best thing you've ever tasted, it simply isn't worth it." My daughter heard me and she reached out to take my hand.

Truly, nothing tastes better than thin feels.

I am so proud of you! Things never taste as good as we remember them. It's just not worth the bother, but it's good to try it out and find out first hand. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Sunny!

lol, yeah, you can quote it but I can't take credit. I have seen it around the boards in other people's siggies. I am just glad it is another thing I won't be craving any longer!

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Argghhh......I cheated today. Ice Cream and, ironically, popcorn. Watching movies w/the kids and all **** broke loose.

You are absolutely right - it wasn't worth it. For me - just a little bit and suddenly I've literally lost my mind. You did the right thing.

I love your quote.

As for Iron Man, I hope you stayed until the end of the credits for that last extra scene with... well, I don't want to spoil it for the others who haven't seen it.

Re: Bought popcorn at the movie tonight

that is so cool porcelain!!! ernie and i are big movie buffs and since i have gone low carb...the popcorn is off limits. we are cool with that but it did take a little getting used to ...ya know how you walk into the theater and are blasted with the smell of popcorn. i think it is a plot myself

anyway, i have since experienced eating it (not at the movies) and have HORRIBLE stomach reactions so there is no way i will endure that ever again.

also....i read in health magazine that a popcorn/soda combo at the theater has about 1600 calories!!!!!

we are going to see ironman today! i will think of you and your popcorn victory!!! yea for you porcelain!

IrishMom and Thinker. Yeah, **** does happen and you have to move on. Before January, that is how I played the game then I said "no more" and I have been really steady ever since. It isn't easy at all times but it is definitely been worth it.

Thanks a lot! I have a little surprise at the end of this post if you stay tuned!

Oh no! Since I wasn't feeling so well, I didn't stay until the end of the credits!! Dangit. That just means I need to go see it again!

Betsy, 1600 calories?? I believe it! Especially if you put fake butter on it (which I do!)

I weighed this morning and I had another drop. It was small but It has been less than a week since I weighed too. Down to 190.2!!!

Re: Bought popcorn at the movie tonight

Ha! I read your post way-back-when, and was thinking "yeah, SHE can work it" but I went digging for it just now because my daughter & I both are on Thanksgiving vacation and I took her to see Madacascar 2 ...

Can I just say that you are silly with your "stay tuned" ...? What a fantastic sense of humour! I laughed out loud when I originally read it and got a kick out of it just now too.

I ate NO popcorn but sniffed it mightily!!! And when I weighed in this week I'm down a whopping 3.6 pounds!!! So, I hope that will be my own personal cliff hanger with a real knuckle clencher for next week!!!

Re: Bought popcorn at the movie tonight

Thank you so much for sharing that! I'm going to keep that in mind while all of the goodies are out tomorrow for the holiday! I know what they taste like, no reason to taste!

Hope you are feeling better!!
