New, Not New

I became a Calorie Dictator in my sleep...
Ok so... I have a pretty hard time falling asleep at night so I take Ambien. Which usually makes for some interesting stories especially when I am extra tired to begin with.

My Progress Thus Far... :)
A little background... On Jan 30 I stopped taking a medication that basically kept me holding onto my weight and switched on to a new med that doesn't have that side effect. I started eating better right away. On Feb 22, I joined MFP to track my progress. The first pic was taken on my birthday (Feb 2) in a bar and I was a…
