:( It totally sucks when you're trying to lose weight and you keep ending up in situations where you're surrounded by unhealthy food. I can relate. Great job on losing a pound anyway!

As for the food thing, I know!!! I know the best way to ensure you're not overspending is to make sure you get fruits and veggies that are in season and on sale at the time, but even then... it's still a lot of money! Especially when I have so many bills and stuff to pay :(
