I'm not sure if it's what you meant, but what you wrote has me thinking about the difference between "losing" weight and "loosing" weight. I've got a mental image of walking to the gate of my fenced-in yard with a wild Fat Beast, 20 pounds growling wild animal, in a cage. (In my imagination, it sort of looks like an injured and recovered sloth, with elements of a small, overfed orangutan.) I open the cage door and shout to the critter, "Go away! Be free!" to get it to return to the wild.
