I hate the phrase "losing weight."
It just doesnt give enough credit to the individual working hard to burn it off or their commitment to exercise or a focused diet or whatever. But, all I know is when I lose something (like my phone, my keys, a shoe, etc), it's because I was careless. Forgetful. I wasn't paying enough attention. It's the COMPLETE opposite of losing weight... which is VERY intentional and focused. It's not like I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and wow, woke up 60 pounds lighter. If only....
So, why haven't we come up with a better phrase for weight loss? Surely there is some more accurate phrase we can give this difficult endeavor. Something that truly illustrates the tremendous work of those individuals burning the weight off? Seriously, we need to come up with something better.
