Since this blog will also be a weight progress blog. I am going to weigh in every week and post a picture and the weight. When I first started my weight loss journey I was 160lbs, yikes. I managed to lose 5 lbs over the month. Well this week I weighed in and gained a pound. My last weigh in was March 19, 2012. I will try to weigh in every Monday.
But here is me at 156, my current weight:
Morning you guys!
Well today I just wanna briefly get into what is going on in my life. For the past 3 months I have been staying with my aunt because my mother and I were not getting along...(that's a whole 'nother story) Anyway I have been with her for 3 months and looking for a job. I felt like my search would never end. Nobody was hiring. I prayed, prayed, and prayed. I caught myself just getting angry and losing faith in myself. I asked God how could He even accept someone like me, how could He see me so worthy. I cried out to Him and asked for his help.
Yesterday I had a job interview at 1:00pm. I woke up around 9:00 and began getting ready. I quickly become frustrated and had no idea why. Everything I put on made me angry, my hair just would not cooperate, ugh. So I stopped in the middle of all my frustration and cried out to my God again. I begged him for patience and wisdom, I asked him to guide me through this process. After that, I found something to wear, pulled my hair into a bun and walked out the door for my interview.
When I arrived at the place for my interview there were 2 customers checking out. They overheard the cashier tell the assistant manager I was here for an interview. The ladies quickly turned to him and said " You better hire just because she looks cute." We giggled as he lead me to the back, where I would have my interview with the manager.
The manager came in, greeted me, and we quickly started the interviewing process. I was feeling nervous because I did not feel like my answers were the best. Despite what I thought, he offered me the position on the spot! Of course I accepted. I was so happy, I almost cried. I thought about all the months that I had cried and had been depressed, I was finally happy for a moment.
I knew that this was nothing but God helping me out. That last night I cried to Him, I completely broke down. I told Him how I had lost all faith in myself and I did not think I could carry out his master plan for my life. In the mist of my storm, He heard my cries and answered my prayers. I know that life is full of struggles, but it is important to always seek Him when I need help. He will get you through anything and everything. I thank Him so much. An infintite amount of words would still not be enough to properly give Him thanks.
As continue this battle called life, I will carry my sharpest weapon... My Father in Heaven. ♥
Well every year millions of people make the resolution to lose weight. including me. According to my New Year's resolutions I should have lost 35 lbs years ago. Well I haven't. This year, 2012. I am going to do it. I started about 3 weeks ago and have lost 7lbs so far. I am proud I lost, but I'll be happier when I finally reach my goal weight.
Today, I went ahead and wrote out my meal plan for the week. I'll try to check in as much as possible to update you guys. I will also be on here just blogging.
This will be like my online diary. Something I can look back on a year from now and just say WOWWW, look gow far i've come.
I am both excited and nervous to begin this journey, but I know I can do it. If you care to tag along as I venture, please do so.

Dear Blogger,
The name's Monique and i'm just your average girl dealing with the everyday struggle of discovering who I am. My life is crazy yet chill at the same time. I have my ups and downs and issues you would never even think I had. I'm just a girl in a big ole world, searching for a meaning, a reason behind things. I'm no where near perfect and I shall never confess to be, in fact I am uniquely_imperfect. ♥
So here's my blog, it'll mostly be about life from day to day and things that are parading through my mind on a daily basis. Please feel free to invite yourself into the Story of a Girl: Discovering MY life.
Yours truly,
Monique LaShaye Morgan aka uniquely_imperfect
