Okay....Saturday nite...you plan on going to see one of the new movies that have been released...you buy your 11 dollar ticket (anyone out there besides me remember the 3 dollar picture???) and then you pass that concession counter...you know, the one that charges you the same amount of money for one soda as you can buy an entire case for at Costgo...the smell of the popcorn weakens your resolve....alright...just go for the small popcorn...but...that really nice kid behind the counter gives you a deal that, to quote Marlon Brando from the Godfather.."You can't refuse"...for a quarter more you get the LARGE bucket....and..a free refill! or...perhaps you dont feel like popcorn but that nachos and cheese snack looks great....oops..they also gave you a coupon that tells you that if you buy that large popcorn and soda...you get a box of Whoppers for a buck...thats a steal!
as you are watching that exciting movie...you find yourself going repeatedly from hand to mouth..hand to mouth....hand to mouth..not even thinking about it...
here are the damages: the popcorn: 1263 calories...nachos 1440, whoppers 680.
OOPS!!!!!!!! your scale that week is not a pretty site....
Bottom line: eat before you go to a movie and bypass that concession counter...eating in a distracted manner will cause you to consume far more than you intended..
on a non-weight loss note: i watched the movie Juno on the flight last weekend...two stethoscopes up...fun picture (even without the airline peanuts)
