My friend Angie told me the other day that she could see some real changes in me. She had been going through some old photos from the wedding shower she hosted for me. I was at my heaviest for our wedding, which isn't something normal a bride says! I decided to come home and do a little comparing on my own. I wanted two photos that were straight on, which isn't easy to find! :)

The below photos: on the left is a photo of me at my cousin Katie's wedding in September 2007. On the right is me during our November 2008 visit to St. Louis, which was 4 months into my Clean Eating. I've got almost two more months of it under my belt now, but no photo. I've almost been doing this for 6 months! I just realized that January 21 will be the mark. Wow. Loving it. Feeling GREAT. Feeling awake and energized. Feeling bright eyed. Feeling healthy. Feeling full. Feeling happy.

So, let's take a look (& ignore the slight lazy eye in the left photo!):

What do you see? I've only lost about 10 - 12 pounds, so the differences aren't going to be dramatic. I'm not on Biggest Loser here :) I think the main difference I see is that I don't look puffy anymore. I attribute that to the lack of chemicals in my food. I'd love to hear what you think. I see this face everyday, so I'm not a good judge...
