When talking about weight this is one term I tend to avoid because it could have a negative connotation.
A friend I was speaking to recently expressed my thoughts perfectly when she said she felt that this term meant that the weight “could be found again”. How beautiful and how apt! This may be the subconscious thought that is behind a lot of weight issues.
Clearly most people who decide they want to lose weight do not want to “find it again” i.e. see it coming back, yet simply by using this term, by focusing on what they have to lose, they are likely to be setting themselves up to attract back a need to lose.
Another reason people might not succeed with their weight loss is because they are afraid what else they may lose with the weight.
