While it's safe to say that giving your diet and workout routine (or lack thereof) a total revamp would undoubtedly lead to a healthier you, it's also safe to assume that a big overhaul is probably unlikely.

We've all heard the old adage, "Mother knows best," but let's be real: some moms are woefully misguided and way, way off the mark.
