I think I have been a bad girl.....

I don't know if I should post this, I think I am a big fat pig! Here goes..... I see where alot of you girls say you eat a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. My husband got me some a month ago, I never would eat it, but I had the munchies last night, so I made it, I figured I could maybe eat 1/3 of it, well I kept eating on it until I ate all of it!!The whole bag!! How is that possible?? You all don't eat all of it at one sitting do you?? My pouch must be HUGE! What happened?? I am scared now. I know it was a few cups. This is really confusing me. Can Anyone explain this? Leatha

Leatha I can't explain it but I can tell you that I eat the whole thing without any problems. You are not alone. Beatriz

Hey, Leatha! I enjoy the 100 cal. bag too. It is probably one of the "oldies, but goodies" from my pre-surgery days. Seems to me that you made a good decision going with the mini popcorn, especially since you had the munchies. The eaten popcorn doesn't take-up a lot of room...so your pouch is OK. Ro

Leatha...the way i look at things like this is that by the time you chew it to a mash and then add saliva it becomes a little paste that slides right through the pouch easily. The same with strawberries, watermelon, salad, cucumbers. When you see my daily totals and I have amounts greater than half a cup it is usually foods like that. Watermelon is a bit of a sanity saver for me in case I feel the need to eat and eat. It is low in calories, high in fluids and it smooshes down to seeming nothingness. I can eat two cups of it at a sitting. Molly

Thanks everyone! That makes sense, I let my imagination get the best of me, I didn't think about it getting that mushy, but I guess it does. Once again you all calmed me down! ha Leatha

A mini bag of popcorn is 3 tablespoons of kernels unpopped... it basically mashes back down to that. I can eat a bag and even 4 oz of cottage cheese or yogurt. You are not alone.
