"The Journey" - I've heard weight-loss described like that. Makes it seem more romantic or interesting I suppose. Me - I think weight-loss is like slow motion NASCAR racing. You know how everyone goes to NASCAR races for the crashes, right? Well dieting and watching someone diet is the equivalent of waiting for the dieting version of a fiery crash - the weight re-gain. Is there anything more delicious than watching the slow, inevitable crash and weight gain at the end of a long period of weight loss? I only say that because I've always enjoyed a bit of fat-schadenfreude when those that have been held up to me as model eaters "You wouldn't even know who he is, he lost so much weight!!!" eventually return to their prior roundness - maybe with a few extra pounds to boot. I'm not at that exciting part of "The Journey" yet, but I have encountered "The Plateau." I've been hanging out at 34-36lbs weight-loss for a week now. The only thing to do now is further reduce food intake and/or increase activity level.  I guess "The Plateau" could be the NASCAR equivalent of the rear tires breaking loose on a turn. The car doesn't crash, but the tires screech and smoke and the crowd gets a thrill at the near-disaster.
