Until I can entirely get over the mental block of having to eat a snack at the movie theater, I've gotten into the habit of bringing along a baggie of frozen grapes or a box of raisins. By the time I'm done with it the previews are over or I'm engrossed in the movie and I'm not thinking about the Buncha Crunch I'm missing.
1That picture is of my local theater. It's called "Cinetopia." Weird!?
2I'm one of those people who can't stop eating popcorn once I've started. I just don't order it anymore.
3I cant seem to be able to go see a movie without twizzlers and/or popcorn... yum. No matter how many times I tell my husband and myself NO...
4I bring a regular sized candy with me (M & M's or starburst) and then get a medium drink and share it with hubby. And if I'm just starving, a hot dog. So judging from my calorie counts, I'm around 500 which isn't as bad as ordering any of that other crap!
5geez..I'll bring some fruits in my purse!
6I eat a monkey for dinner to get me over the hunger.
7Guess What ?
One time me and my friend went to the movies we ordered a large popcorn and gummi bears and he bought nachos when i was walking away in front of him and a large cola to share for us to share. Through half the movie he finished the whole popcorn whole nachos and 3/4 of of the cola. He finished the rest when I went to the bathroom. I only had a little bit of nachos. After the movies I broke up with him cause I told him if he wanted to eat him self to death he could go ahead but I wasn't gonna watch him go through diabetess and high blood pressure because he wanted to eat stuff.
