The stupidest thing you used to think...

When I was a little kid and our family took road trips, I used to think that the cars going over the overpasses on the highway, were toy cars! Bahhaaaa! My kids howled when I told them that!0

I used to think fake b00bs were silly and a waste of money. Now I kinda like them.0

^ Ha.
When I was a kid and we'd pass water or natural gas towers along the freeway, my mom told me they were full of cookies. I totally believed her and was super bummed out when I learned the truth... :laugh: :noway:0 -
That binging for weeks and then starving for weeks was a legitimate diet regime, despite never losing weight.0

I drink about 10 cans of diet Mtn Dew a day. I have to buy it two or three cases at a time because I literally feel I'll die without it. Now that's just stupid.0

Yeah.. that was me. So glad its not anymore!0 -
I used to think since I was 315lbs and could touch my toes I wasn't fat. :laugh:0

I used to think that eating healthy and getting to a healthy fitness level could only be done if my loved ones around me did it as well. I used to think that I would never be able to get it done if we were not all on the same page. In reality, its has been the opposite. (after 2 weeks of seeing hubby suck up junk food while I was eating healthy it all got easier) First few weeks were tough. But not anymore. I am seeing the changes in my body as well as feeling them and THAT drives me to ignore his night time junk food binge.
I also used to think that cucumbers were "green cookies"....thanks Mom♥0 -
That I never knew what BMR was, so I thought if you ate 1000 calories in a day you had to burn off 1000 calories...
This!0 -
That I had to eat when I felt even just a little hungry, or I'd get dizzy and fatigued...0

I wish that I could give up all the diet sodas and drink more water.... I need to cut them out so that I can get rid of some of this sodium and water retention. I even tried drinking one water to every soda... That lasted one whole DAY. Is it still as beneficial to drink water with MIO or another sugar free flavor added?
I add MIO to my water. It's the only way I'll drink water. I need the damned stuff to taste like something.
There's debate whether the artifical sweeteners will kill you, even in small amounts, but it's better than drinking sodas.0 -
That if I "broke" my diet with something "naughty" then the day was a write off and I could just eat what I wanted and get back on it the next day.
So many misconceptions in one sentence!
THIS!
Actually if you don't go completely insane, or do it every day, doing that probably won't hurt your diet much.0 -
that I can't do this by myself. I am and I will. of couse with the help of MFP and my Pals. no gimmicks no pills no fees no dues. Just me and MFP!!!0

Cardio was the only way to lose weight.
I thought that too.
And it was funny because at one time I was doing great.. but I realized that in between cardio classes at the gym I was using some of the weight machines to kill time. It took awhile to figure out why I wasn't getting fit just walking 3 miles a day.0 -
That I had anything to look forward to.0
-
That if I ate barely anything during the day and nothing remotely fatty/sugary/'bad' and did some tough excersize that I'd "done really well today!"
No you silly girl. Go and do some research, you've grown up with big misconceptions about good health!!0
