WHY COULDN'T SHE LIE TO ME?

Now I know that losing .8 of a pound is better than gaining weight, better than gaining .8 of a pound and is clearly better than staying the same weight, but it seems worse. I am convinced that the key to dieting, in addition to the actual diet and exercise, is your mental frame of mind to keep going. Mentally I believe I could diet forever or until I reach my goal , whichever comes first, as long as I lose at least a pound a week. But what the heck is .8 of pound? It's a lot like a tie in Hockey or kissing your sister. It's not bad, there are a lot worse things in life, but its not good either. That's how I feel. Now if I didn't lose any weight or if I gained weight I know I would have to deal with that psychological impact as well, but if you don't come close, you should have to deal with it. But for .2 of a pound, I have to feel bad. I was so close to being a contender. Why couldn't the WeightWatcher lady lie to me and tell me I lost a pound? If I asked her if she liked my new shirt I am sure she would have said yes even though I know it's hideous. So clearly she is not beyond lying. So why couldn't she lie to me? It would have meant so little to her and so much to me. Typical of my luck - meeting honest people.
