Mind set moment

So...I've been thinking (I know, I know, stay with me for a minute)
Do we really wanting to LOSE weight?? Think about it......
Typically when I LOSE something I try to find and retrieve what I've lost, in that case, I really don't want to LOSE weight - I'd rather just get rid of it.
I know its a play on words, and the definition isn't exact. However, the way we typically use the word LOSE brings to mind wanting to find something and return to it, or replace it, or feeling sorry or sad for our loss.
There is nothing about my weight I want to return to, or replace, or feel sorry for "losing", I'm all for just getting rid of it!!!
Just a thought.... enjoy your day everyone!
