    Don't wash your fruits and vegetables, just rinse them under cold water. o_O

    you should eat breakfast everyday or your body will go into starvation

    "Be Careful!" .... yeah right, cause like before you said that I was gonna go off wild and reckless, but now I'm going to proceed with caution.

    Just because you don't want to give him a 'Bob Joe' doesn't mean he will break up with you!

    WRONG!

    The dumbest advice that I have ever been given was when I was walking with a friend and we were talking about getting a diet coke as our reward after our walk when a woman sitting on a bench (and clearly overweight) tells me that diet cokes are "unhealthy" and that I shouldn't be drinking them because they will make me fat. I'm sure she was in good enough health (NOT) to be giving advice.

    One of hubby's great aunts said that we needed to touch our baby's feet to the back of his head to keep him from getting some disease (some weird name like the shaky curveys). Needless to say, she was never allowed to hold him.

    I hate when people tell me to stop dieting and that im not fat..I know ive gained ALOT of weight.. my sons dad is the biggest one at this but have I ever told him what I actually weigh? NO lol. But he will tell me it shouldnt hurt to eat this and that and tell me I dont need to loose weight but yes I do and then later he will joke around calling me fat in public makes me mad! I am getting healthy for me now it will raise my own self confidence too!

    "You need to be eating more for breakfast. I buy my daughter a sausage, egg, and cheese mcmuffin everyday before school so I know she's eating enough." -Coming from the biggest, laziest slob of a MIL ever.

    I was eating yogurt with fruit and/or cereal for breakfast..I just can't do a big breakfast most of the time.

    If you taste while cooking count that as your meal, don't fix yourself a plate and eat with everyone else when it's done.

    these come from the same person. 'you should treat yourself' (to a bought coffee/chocolate/etc) and 'you only live once'. Well yeah, I should 'treat myself' every time I go out because I definitely will only live once. Saying NO that a slice of triple choc mudcake isn't really depriving myself of anything - except fat, sugar and carbs.
