Does all this really matter (sad news)

Hi everyone hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend and enjoyed the sun that we have been having hope it continues . i have had a good half of the weekend good and other half not good at all which i will tell you about during blog and reason for my title ..Saturday was a lazy day and just a general tidy up as in afternoon early evening we were setting of to proms in the park and a nice evening for it although the tempeture did drop later on , i took a slimming world picnic but friends took other goodies as well but i only ate one cake so was good all evening and had some cherry brandy when it got cold which i really enjoyed .
The park is starting to fill up with people pinicing and bbq s  drinking wine a great atmospere 
Some performers that were wandering around the park 
Getting dark kids are waiting for the fireworks .
And here they are well i wont put all the pics of them on here but you get the idea . and the evening was really enjoyable and everyone singing and waving flags .
SUNDAY; i have not got alot of photo s to show you today as i think i just spent it in a daze and a sick feeling in my stomoch i found out to day my friend had passed away of the dreaded cancer leaving two young kids behind  , i cant really remember what i ate really . that brings me to say does this really matter ,is there more to life than this i just feel so deflated at the moment and nothing seems to matter and that slimming world went on the back burner especially monday i took my kids out shopping and we had breakfast ,lunch and dinner and a few glasses of wine i tried to enjoy the day but in the back of my mind could not stop thinkimg of those kids and what there going through , i thank god for what i have every day and the friends i do have on my face book groups and friends around me and i aqm going to enjoy life i have and even though i want to loose another 15  pounds  i am not going to be obsessed with it , i will still blog as i like to keep a diary and let  others read my blog but what has happen has put everything into perspective .
iTS WEIGH IN DAY tomorrow and i am not sure if i feel like going at the moment i shall see tomorrow how i feel by my scales it says i have lost but i feel a bit fragile at the moment so we will have to see , if i dont blog for a few days you all know why  , hope you all have a good week x

    Hi Julie, I understand how such news makes you feel like this, my Mum passed recently and have been up and down (emotionally and weight wise) since. I find the group themselves to be a good remedy, being with similar people and having a giggle about recipes and different uses for scan bran seems to help. I often want to give up, but realise that my Mum would be proud of me for all my hard work and determination. I know she is with me every step of the way, clapping and cheering at losses and awards and i'm sure your freind is with you too. Take every day as it comes and remember one day off plan does not mean a ruined week. Be strong x x

    Hi Julie. Such sad news. I can understand why you'd think "does it really matter?" when something so terribly wrong happens, but I think YES IT DOES. There are some things we can't change however much we wish we could, but that doesn't mean that nothing else is important. It certainly doesn't mean that YOU'RE not important. It could mean that something as "petty" as losing weight takes a bit of a back seat, but you know in your heart of hearts that your weight loss is NOT petty, it's hugely important to you. It's just that in light of the death of your friend, it seems trivial. It isn't. You can't bring your friend back and you need to grieve - but if the position was reversed, would you want your friend to give up on something important to her because you had died? Of course you wouldn't! Can you do something for/with her children to distract them? I'm sure you'd all feel a little better for it. Take care, and stay strong. Gina
