Ive been to the movies several times, and for me i had to just break the habit, and realize, i was there to see a movie not chow down, its a miracle, but 1 movie at a time I have not had popcorn, and  that was never possible before, but I really am sick and tired of being sick and tired about being fat, I am done being fat thanks to dougs book good luck   SKINNY

I'm taking my son to Toy Story 3 also this morn! We have been waiting~ He turned 15 two days ago.... :D...lol...Tony was born with Down Syndrome and 'fat' had tried to take him over~~NO MORE! We are wining!! He has lost 7 lbs so far...it is a bit hard with school foods and leaving on weekends to his dads but slowly the people around him are coming to understand what I am trying to do with the Fat to Skinny plan for him...I'll convert the whole school if I have too!!

...i would say bring the pork rinds!
.......we will not bring munchies and such....i promised McDonalds afterward....we love getting a burger and putting it on the lo carb tortillas...and a side salad instead of fries, and Tony likes a diet pop....i have water..... Well, he is excited to go, waiting for me so,....
gonna get ready now~~~~~~~~~ have a great day!

I actually enjoy NOT having to pick the kernels out of my teeth anymore! I feel so much better about choosing healthier foods over popcorn while at the movies. I sometimes stick a nice cold Dr. Atkins protein shake (prepacked - dark chocolate) and a straw in my purse, too. What a yummy refreshing treat!

Movies I want to go! Try pork rinds sprinkled with cinnamon and stevia on them. I put them in a bag and mix it up, goooood! Be careful with the stevia not to over do it. Oh yea ya have to have the wife smuggle it in the purse. Second the popcorn in the tooth thing ;D
And if I claim to be a wise man. It surely means that I don't know... Kansas

If you like chocolate, the Russell Stover SUGAR FREE Mint Patties 3 for 1 carb or 1 Pecan Delight for 1 carb.  This has really helped me not feel deprived of something sweet.  Just be careful to be sensible -- BUT ENJOY !

I do the pork rinds too or I have been known to bring string cheese with me. Either way I always get my diet coke and that thrills me ;)

I took my youngest daughter to Toy Story 3 today.
The man in front of me walked in with a HUGE popcorn and my brother said, "don't even think
about it" in a nice way, of course....I said, "oh I'm not but I need something..." His wife handed me a piece
of sugarless gum and it was just what I needed to tide me over.
If I would have been home prior I would have packed snacks...good choices below!  I will have to remember that!

Some movie theaters sell hot dogs. If you carry a low carb tortilla in your purse, you can take it out of the bun and put it in the tortilla.
