Popcorn popping, people shuffling, tickets ripping, heros fighting, lovers loving... The movies can be a lot to take in. And it's easy to get sucked in to the pressures of ordering the "extra large combo".
Here's how to stand your ground and make the right choices.
Eat a meal before of right or after the movie. This way, you'll either be full or you'll know you need to save room.
Keep your diet in your mind, but on the back burner. You don't go to the movies everyday, so allow yourself to enjoy this.
Having said that, know what foods effect your body and ask yourself if you are okay with that. For example, I breakout and retain water when I eat fries, so I'll skip the fries. I always eat too much when I get frozen yogurt and feel bad after, so I'll skip that too.
Get what you want and know its okay. A healthy diet is about give and take. It should be 80% clean eating and 20% (knowingly so and being okay with it) cheating. I love movie theatre popcorn. And I know I'll eat a whole bag by myself. So then I get a diet coke, skip the sugar of a regular one, and stay away from salty foods the next day.
If all else fails, bring stuff from home in your bag! Grapes, almond, carrots or whatever else you like.
