Why Does Everybody Say They "Lost" Weight or Are "Losing" Weight?

This terminology freaks me out. Every doctor I talk to tells me kudos on the weight I lost, or best of luck on losing the next 120 lbs. Lost means maybe it will be found. Losing implies possibly finding it again.

I began my life changing journey 2 years ago, to date I have gotten rid of almost 65 lbs, and I still have about 120 to go before I reach my personal goal. I definitely did not lose 65 lbs because I sure as hell don't want to find it again! When I say I got rid of it, I mean it is gone. My intention is to NEVER gain it back.
