As the Dust Settles...

As the dust settles on the journey of our lives, I find myself a bit out of sorts.
We no longer reside in the Phoenix, Arizona, and as such I feel a little lost regarding my VSG by way of support and community. Don't get me wrong, I do have my wife, but she too feels a little frustrated and lost at the moment. With that said, I find myself struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy, all the while maintaining the principles that apply to one who has undergone VSG surgery.
Traveling with two dogs in stifling cold weather, we were forced to eat food (if you can call it that) at truck stops along the way. Surprisingly, that did not cause weight gain. It did not create any losses either. What it did do is make me realize that I don't miss that type of food; that the only reason(s) I ate it at all was because there weren't any choices for VSG-friendly foods.
Now I am in a community that so far appears to embrace me (which feels nice). I can only hope that I am able to push through this slump and get a hold of myself with enough gusto that I can rebound from this slump and come out swinging. I am creeping ever so close to my goal weight, and with that I do not want to fail. Especially over something as light hearted as moving out of state.
