Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a great Friday. I just wanted to post about something that I have been avoiding since I started MF early February.....MOVIE THEATRES!!! My 13 yr old son talked me into going to see a movie yesterday. I had it all planned out in my mind that if the smell of popcorn became too tempting, I would just pull a bar out of my purse, and that would satisfy me. Well, I know it would have, if I hadnt forgotten the darn thing at home. My son wanted a hot dog, and asked me if I would be mad if he ate it in front of me. I told him to go ahead. Well, today, it was my daughter's turn to go to the movies, and she got...POPCORN. It was smothered in butter, it was so tempting. But I did eat a bar on the way to the movies. And that completely helped me resist the urges. But dont think I didnt have that little devil on my shoulder telling me only a couple of pieces wouldnt hurt. So, what I have learned in the past 2 days is that we should not let our fears keep us from spending quality time with our loved ones. Now, the movie that I saw, 2 days in a row, mind you....now thats something fearful. We saw the movie Stay Alive, which was very suspenseful. Thank you all for making these forums such an inviting place to come and share our stories and experiences. Hopefully, we will all help one another through every single day until we all reach our goals. You all are great.

What a big step! You are so right that the new way we are learning to feed our bodies does not have to interfere with spening time with our loved ones! I love that and thanks for posting it!

Good job on resisting the (and thanks for giving me an opportunity to use that I always wanted to)

Hi Shiela!

Great job at the theater! I spent a couple of weeks hiding from what was tempting and now I'm a lot more comfortable in my own skin. I know completely that nothing tastes as good as thin feels and I'm so proud of you! Betcha won't forget your bar next time, though! Boy did I learn to have bars stashed everywhere fast! Great job!

Sheila that is amazing. You should be so proud of yourself. I hope I can be as strong as you the next time we go to a movie.

Shelia, I don't know how you resisted those buttery puffs of goodness. That is one of my favorites. WAY TO GO GIRL!

I too just went through the same thing yesterday. I went to the movies with my family and my daughter sat right beside me and ate buttered popcorn which is my favorite thing in the world. I prepared myself before I went mentally. I told myself “NO EXCUSES”. I sat and enjoyed a large diet coke and one package of Medifast crackers. I ate them slowly. I then went out of there feeling like I WON A RACE AND TOOK FIRST PLACE!!! I feel so GOOD!!

Oh, not only do I feel good - but I weighed in this morning and lost weight....

Keep up the good work Shiela
