Another pound down

Snacking has lessened a bit but I'm still snacking too much before bed. My new obsessions are almonds and gum. Almonds are good for you but I need to make sure I predetermine how much I'm going to eat before I start eating them. Otherwise, I can't stop myself because they're SO good! Gum on the other hand... I gorge on it. Sure they have like 5-10 calories per stick (depending on what flavor I can get) but I chew 2-3 sticks at once. Horrible. And I can't stand it when the flavor is lost so I keep repeating through the day.

I think I'm going to quit with the gum for a while (although... I have a whole bag of them...).

It's horrible but I've been obsessed (common for me) with my ex's girlfriend. It's weird because I don't go on facebook to look at his page but mostly to look at her page. Because she's trying to lose weight. In the beginning, before they started dating and then during the beginning of their relationship, she was a pretty average weight. Then they moved to Texas and she must have gained like 60-70 pounds.

Now she's trying to lose it and I can't help but watch her progress and compare her weightloss with mine (she likes to update about it extensively). I get into a panic when she posts pictures up that show off her obvious weightloss. I think to myself, "I CAN'T become fatter than her!" And so I double my workouts and eat less.

This isn't a healthy thought process but it's motivation.

I start a pilates class next Wednesday! I hope it's worth the $40 for the intro class.

Good luck guys!
