Good Saturday morning...Writing this entry from north of the border in Toronto...Cold up here!!!! I love the way the people say "about" here....sounds like "abooooooot" Actually, they are probably laughing at me for doing my Nuuuu Yooork thing of putting "r's at the end of so many words....And rather than saying "yes" as a question after making a point, they say "ay"...Okay enough about Canadian accents.....back to weight issues....
Anyone going to the movies this weekend??? News reports this week detailed an investigation of the caloric content of the "snack" foods that the different major movie theatre chains provide and the information is mind-boggling. At one of the chains, the large sized popcorn and soda (a sugar containing one) had over 1600 calories...the equivalent of 6 eggs, 4 strips of bacon and 4 sausage links. The caloric content of the candies was appallingly high.
When you enter the movie theatre, the smell of the popcorn can be mesmerizing. To avoid succumbing to standing on that food/popcorn line, make sure to eat dinner or lunch before you to the movies. Also, keep fresh in your mind just how hard you have worked the entire week to shed those pounds, and if you give in to the snacks, you may reverse your entire week of great work. Remember: you are choosing to be healthier and happier...that is a GREAT choice and a much better than the immediate taste of popcorn. So no popcorn or nachos, ay???
