    Mine was that I don't eat that much and that I must have a really slow metabolism. I am really active at work so I thought this was true, but once I started logging I found out how much I was really eating! Let's just say I was shocked at how many calories I was taking in and I have no idea how I didn't weigh a lot more.

    that it was okay for me to drink soda because it was diet :/
    If you have no reaction to diet soda, then this isn't bad. Personally I drink 2 diet sodas a day for my sweet tooth.

    I always told myself I was happy just like I was...um no that is why I refused to be in pictures.

    I always told myself that I would start a weight loss plan, tomorrow, or next week, or at the beginning of the month.

    I always told myself there was no way I'd ever enjoy healthy food.

    I always told myself there was no way I'd ever enjoy healthy food.

    Guilty, I always referred to dieting as "eating rabbit food" and thought it was for "vain" people - obviously I didn't need it, because I wasn't fat because the washing machine was shrinking my clothes, my husband had obiovusly lost weight whcih is why I looked bigger.......lol!

    I definitely do the "I already screwed up my diet today, so I'll just eat whatever I want to get it out of my system and start again tomorrow". Well, a few days later my husband would want Chinese food, and there'd I'd go again!

    Aye, looks like loads of us are guilty of the "I'll start tomorrow" sentiment! lol!

    "I'll get back on plan when life isn't so stressful. When things calm down, I'll be in the right mindset to get & stay on plan."

    Turns out, that was BS. Um, hello ... life is stressful much of the time; if you wait for no stress you will never get/stay on plan!

    I believed it to be true for a long time, but I took a different approach earlier this year and it has made all the difference in the world. I decided to go back on plan in the midst of a very stressful & unhappy time. I decided to do it as a KINDNESS to myself. And, guess what? Now when things are really stressful I stay the course and, if anything, eat even less or better on those days because I don't want to reinforce the old, life-long habit of eating to comfort myself.

    "I'll always be able to eat whatever I want and not gain weight. I'm a naturally small person. My metabolism won't slow down with age. Having kids won't cause me to be heavier."

    uh huh
