Who knew that fresh salty layered hot buttery yummy movie popcorn could be such a powerful teacher! I leapfrogged over many many future unhealthy food choices last Sunday!

We had planned to go out 4x4ing and I was really excited to go. Woke up that morning and it didn’t work out. I was disappointed but it wasn’t the end of the world.

We decided to go to a movie – my fav!! I was excited and instantly began drool-dreaming of warm crunchy buttery popcorn which I haven’t had for probably 3 months at least!! I studied what was playing and was massively disappointed that there wasn’t anything worth going to see! Ugh!

Then Tom said he would be willing to see Venom which is a comic movie and certainly not his favourite – but mine! Oh Yes Please! I was SO STOKED!

And as I prepared to bask in the golden ripples of anticipation of hot buttery salty popcorn and was shocked to realize that it wasn’t appealing anymore.

I remember sitting on the edge of my bed and checking in to see what was going on and whether I should be concerned. I was super excited to be going to see the movie and was genuinely perplexed about where the desire for the popcorn went.

After careful investigation I discovered that it was actually missing and in its place was what I really wanted to have – for real and everything! Snap peas, pistachios and these awesome little dry pepperoni made for pizza. Joy!

I got out my “movie purse” lol and prepped my snacks while I took in what just happened.

At first it was the forbidden (lol) food that was the star attraction. The movie was the excuse to have the popcorn. But when the movie excitement exceeded the pleasure of the popcorn, what I really wanted was able to shine through.

So now when I get a craving for something that is not inline with my goals for myself, I can jack up the excitement energy for my goals and the craving should naturally fall by the wayside.

I am so excited for this new tool I can use to reach my dreams!! Thanks Popcorn!!
