I am still doing great with weight I am in a size 5/6 jeans and medium or sometimes small shirts weighing between 147-150 at the moment. I am proactive and have gotten braces again to correct my overbite that was not corrected completely the first time I had braces. If you thought I had a great smile before watch out world in eight months my smile will be smoking. LOL, Damn I am getting vain. Lol.
I am going to Las Vegas with a friend October 24-27, 2004 and then she is going back home to Dallas, TX and I will be headed to Los Angeles, CA. I have my airline tickets purchased already for the Obesity Help Convention in Universal City, CA Oct 29-31, 2004. I have reservations for the hotel and plan to room with a good buddy from Houston ( you know who you are homey). I am so excited about this trip and am looking forward to meeting all of the people I have been chatting with for years and now will finally get to meet them face to face.
Even though I am never online anymore just know that you guys are and will always be a part of me. I am very proud of all of you and you all are very special to me. God Bless you all.

Hello all of my Handsome and Gorgeous AMOS Brothers and Sisters
Yes, I know it has been a long time since you have heard from me. I have pretty much been missing in action. LOL. I have been out living life and basically not focusing on WLS at all. I have been very very very busy as I have been working two jobs since 08-30-04, not because I had to, but because I could. The second job is ending soon and more than likely I will end up working part time in a womens gym as my friend has been bugging me to do so for a while now. The verdict is still out on that one. I more or less want to be able to relax for a while. I have been working 70-80 hour weeks since 08/30/04 and I am just a lil tired to say the least.
I work as a Logistics Coordinator for a corporate relocation company full time and as a Logistics Specialist for an aerospace company part time. The aerospace job ends 03/09/05 and then I will be more or less a free woman as far as my play time is concerned.
I have been sick for a while and relapsed into some old anorexia/bulimic behavior, but am back on the ball and have been doing well with taking care of myself as eating right and not purging is a daily thing for me to get a grip on. I have been between 147-155 steadily and that is good. Weight went down to 139 a few months ago, but I was able to make a comeback..LOL. Old habits are hard to break. I will survive though. Have no fear of that. I am a survivor.
Last, but not least I am head over heels in deep lust with a soldier....He is currently in Iraq finishing out his tour and is due to be home the end of March 2005. He rocks my world and he holds the keys to my heart.
I hope that everyone is well and have been successful. Take care and God Bless
I just wanted to come online and update my journal as I rarely do that now a days. I am still doing ok for the most part. I am working for a telecommunications company in Kileen, TX and am loving my new job. My boyfriend Tyke is still in Iraq serving our country with 4th Infantry HHC 3-67 Armor and I miss him so much, but I have been keeping in touch with him and his family has been good about checking up on me and supporting me emotionally.
I am currently being interviewed by Angelique Teje for Channel 8 News Metro in Dallas on a story about African Americans and Reconstructive Surgery. It is a multiple story process so it is not complete yet. The next interview will take place at my parents home as she wants to see where I come from. I have done an interview a month a go and we have to complete the story.
I have been hanging out with the new friends I have met in Killeen and have been enjoying life as much as I can. I have Cervical Cancer and have been doing all the chemo treatments needed to cure my cancer and have to follow up with radiation in two weeks. My mom knows I was diagnoised last year, but she belives the surgey I had August 2005 cured it. I do not have the heart to tell her it is back because I know she worries about me being out here in Kempner, TX all alone with Tyke being in Iraq.
I will eventually tell her it is back, but only after I ocmplete my treatment and make sure it is gone. I do not want to cause my mom stress or pain. I do not want her worried about me.
I am very depressed about the Cancer returning, but I am not bitter about it I have accepted it and have done all that is neccessary to succeed and fight this cancer. No matter what through all that I am going through I am staying busy and am continuing with my education and working as I am a fighter and I refuse to give up.
It is very hard as some days I do not want to get out of bed because I have no energy and I just want to sleep all day and night, but I push myself because I refuse to be ill and live the life of a sick person. I worked so hard to lose weight and become a normal person to just be sickly and an invalid.
I will end this update now as I have nothing else to say at this time. I just wanted to update my journal so people could know what is up with me since I am never online anymore. Take care and God Bless you all.
