I just recently opened my diary to friends. The reason why it wasn't open to friends before was because I didn't want to feel judged. It's my decision what I want to eat and I don't want someone looking at my food diary and determining whether I could have done better. But, on the other hand, I do want to be held accountable to eat not only under my caloric limit but to make healthy nutritious choices most of the time. So now it's open to friends and ready for feedback...

Mine is open to everyone. Mine is all over the place, I rarely have the same thing. I realize I do not always put spices in my diary. For better or for worse. Mostly out of laziness. I track mostly everything, but not stuff like cough drops or cough medicine. Or water. Or tea. Ok, all food stuff, I am iffy on the calorie free stuff. Check it out.
I cook a lot, but you sometimes I go overboard.

A friend in the same boat won't judge. They will offer options or insight when you struggle. Just like a good friend, boss, or mentor won't judge. They offer suggestions rooted in knowledge and experience. In the end, it's your choice as to what you do with those offerings. I've tried mounds of advice in my decades at all of them. Some pan out, some don't. But when your stuck, not trying something different just leaves you stuck.

Mine is public and I try to use it to plan out all my meals. However that being said I do change it during the course of the day depending on how I feel and what I feel like. I am honest in it, you will see a day with 7 beers in it. I am moving to an all clean diet, however some unclean stuff sneaks in because I won't throw out food. All my shopping is clean now, so everything will clean up eventually.

Mine is open to friends. I'm not really worried about accountability. I don't need other people to keep me accountable since I'm accountable to myself. I track everything I'm eating (or adding to food), I've been staying under my cals, sodium and fat every day, and haven't overdone anything. If I can't be honest with myself in tracking my daily food, then being accountable to Sally915 from Texas isn't going to change that. That is how I think of it - everybody has their own way of looking at it, so your mileage may vary.

I had a friend ask to make our FD public and I like the idea. Mine is viewable to my friends so please feel free to add me. I would also love to see what others do. It keeps me accountable and honest.

I have mine open to friends. I think it's kind of silly to NOT open it to friends honestly. we're all here for the same thing---to be healthy. I'm sure people can understand if someone has a bad day, etc. And I'm certainly not going to judge people based on what they eat...that's on them.

I totally agree! some of my friends have closed theirs, im not sure why... maybe theyre lying about their intake haha. We're all here fo the same thing and i find it really helpful!
