I took my nephew to see Curious George this weekend. He got his usual: root-beer, popcorn, and sour patch kids. I got a bottle of water. I had planned to have popcorn, but we had just eaten lunch and I found I didn't really want it.
I think this is the first time I have happily not had popcorn at a movie theater. I've dieted before and skipped it, but it always seemed a bit like punishment. Knowing that I could eat popcorn if I wanted, and then choosing not to eat it felt good.
I also bought new jeans last week a size smaller than I've been wearing. Yeah!
Way to go!!! I remember my first experience like that too after I joined OA. Thanks for sharing and I imagine you enjoyed the movie and were much more present than you had been previously.
