Noticing that the majority of my friends keep their food diary closed even to friends. That's okay with me, I mean if they want to keep it private that's their business. Just wondering about the thought process behind it. Do you keep your diary open, closed, open for friends only, or what? And why?

Open keeps me Honest.0 -
Closed, as I only need to be accountable to myself. Also, I had to deal with too many Judgy McJudgersons when I had my diary open. Ain't nobody got time for that!0

That's why I'd never have my open for strangers but if my friends start being judgy then I will probably just start wondering why they're on my friend's list in the first place :0/0 -
I honestly don't even remember if mine is set to open or closed anymore. When it was open at the height of my dieting I developed way too much food anxiety. I was literally crying before parties because I knew I would overeat. Keeping my food logs private was a concession to my therapist, who wanted me to quit the diet completely if I couldn't find a way to work it into my life better.
Now the diary here is only ever half filled out. I keep most of my logs on paper and just log things here while I'm at work or when I'm unsure of the calorie content of something. I'm accountable to me and only me and if I need to go back to logging everything here that option will still be available.0 -
Open but I don't keep track off my food. Which I will probably start doing soon.0

Open because I don't care what random internet strangers think of what I eat.0
-
Closed. So people won't be jealous of all the bacon and ice cream I eat.0
-
Open because I just care that much.0
-
I only let friends see mine as they know you better0

Open to friends. I like looking at friends' diaries for new food ideas, so I like to return the favor. It also makes me feel more accountable. Haven't had any friends be judgmental.0

My diary is open to my friends. I don't mind them seeing what I eat. Maybe they'll have suggestions or great recipe ideas. Who knows?0

Open! I may not log the best stuff ever, but I log every day, every meal. I am not a pro at being healthy, so I like the possibility of feedback from fellow MFP'ers. I also don't feel like I have any platform to complain or give anyone else advice if they can't see how I am doing. I don't mind the transparency at all! :drinker:0

I keep mine open and log everything. I know that I am not going to eat perfect 100% of the time and that is alright as long as it is in moderation.0

Mine's open at all times. It's your constitutional right to know what I eat. That way, you can let me know if I'm sidestepping. I welcome that.0

Mine is open to everyone.. I don't care that people see what I eat and how much I eat.0
