Need some help please....

Tomorrow my hubby and kids want to go to either the movies or to a carnival out here. Great for them but what do i eat while there? Has anyone run into this situation yet? are hot dogs, popcorn and all that stuff still a nono for us? i am so nervous about ging out but i also want to have a good time with my family. thanks for any help/advise........

The best option would be to bring portable food like tuna salad kits or protein bars. But if you don't pack soemthing, a grilled chicken sandwich is always a safe bet. I take off the top bun and eat half of the chicken and bottom bun. You can do the same thing with a burger. Just chew, chew, chew. As far as I know popcorn and hotdogs are no good for us.

I've been to the movies twice in the last week, and both times I took bottled water and a string cheese stick, and we scheduled to movie between lunch and dinner time. Yesterday I attended my niece's 8th birthday party, and took along a protein bar (I like Atkins Advantage). When we headed to their home afterwards to visit with family, I had brought along a small lunch size cooler with roasted deli turkey, string cheese, a SF pudding and water. I ate some turkey and a bit of cheese, plus the pudding when they all had cake and I was feeling just fine. It was nice to be a social situation and not gorge myself or be there just for the food, but enjoy the company instead. Hope this helps, Inky

Yes I like the tuna salad kits....and I went to the movies this weekend and where I went they had big warm pretzels so I ate the inside out of that....

I've found that you need to plan ahead...plan ahead, plan ahead and do not count on there being anything for you to eat. I've had a few boo hoo moments. (((hugs)))
