    I have never cheated with logging my food or exercise, so I'm totally with you.

    Cheating only means you really care about winning.

    My opinion is, if you lie, you are only cheating yourself. This isn't some big "show" . . it's real liife.

    Why would you lie about it in the first place?

    For me, it would happen only because I would log earlier in the day, and then eat something late at night that wasn't in the log. haha XD No more of that though. I was doing really well not to do this at first on this site.

    Never cheat it only hurts yourself! So log it all! When I decided to join I decided to be honest with myself AND BELIEVE me there are some ugly days on there. Like when my students decided to throw me a party. You should have seen the food. But i ate very small portions of almost everything and logged it all. I blew everything that day but knew that I wasn't going to repeat that behavior!

    I have never lied on logging, but I do occasionally hide my diary so no one can see what I ate :blushing:

    You can lie to your diary but don't be suprised when the scale doesn't lie.

    Who are you really lying to? Yourself??? I think your body knows when you log that you ate veggies all day when you really had burgers and fries...ouch...not good for your waistline or your mind!! Be truthful...sometimes the truth is easier to handle and deal with if it is right there in front of your eyes......use the lessons that this is meant to teach you to create a better you everyday. You are not alone in this quest for a healthy weight and healthy life.....read others thoughts and you will soon realize that we are all struggling in our own way......Good Luck!!

    It's soooo tempting to lie-log, but it is what it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just have to buckle down.....it only hurts me when I lie to myself, so screw everyone else, they're not in my shoes :D

    I think Sparkle knows she is only cheating herself, hence why she has posted about it for everyone to see to keep herself accountable!

    You can do it sparkle! I'm sure 99% of us have all done it in way way or another.... :-)

    i can't advocate cheating.
    the right thing to do is break up with your diary first, then move on to bigger and better food.
    or seek counseling, work through your troubles and recommit to making it work.

    This is the place to truely be honest about food intake. Sometimes it's not pleasant, but I have never seen anything but positive support with the friends I have chosen on this site. Usually they are more supportive than I am to myself, so at least it's out there, and I don't have to hide it. Hey, if it gets real bad, you can always delete your profile, which I wouldn't recommend, but you can. Angels in the mist for sure on this site.

    NO point in lying on here..you'd only be cheating yourself in the long run. I log everything, even when I mess up--keeps me accountable to actually see it on here.

    lol It's not that severe.... I posted this more to just give people a place to admit that they've stretched the truth so to speak, on their journals. I think that being open about it in a place like this can be very liberating and taken as a chance to change your bad habits. The support is absolutely my driving point to post this. For other people, not just myself.

    I log absolutely everything. From that sip or nibble I took off my buddy's food, to my daily supplements (vitamins)... Coffee, tea even if it's sugarfree or black. Not only it keeps you accountable for your weight loss but if you ever stall or plateau you can go back and pin point the problem cuz you logged everything!!
    If it goes in your mouth lol LOG IT. besides a lot of ppl forget that a nibble here and a lick there will add up and... It's not cuz it's sugar free that it's calories free xD

    I just posted on a friend's status update that sometimes my food diary is a big, fat lie. It's not that I'm lying to myself. Rather, I use my food diary as a planning tool, and I stick to my plan a huge majority of the time. On the infrequent occasions I do go off plan, I don't see the point in correcting my diary. It's not something I ever go back and reflect on, so what's the point? For people who do go back and look at what they've done, it makes sense to be sure everything is "truthful."

    Oh ya! I know it's crazy but once it's in the database it's all cool. Like I learned today that my MSM vitamins are actually 5 calories each. Not that I care... Lol I'm still gonna taken em twice a day but it just goes to show a lot of ppl under estimate or under track their ****. Not saying that they are lying. I mean it can happen to everyone to forget or something but the more accurate you are the better your results that's fo sho!

    I like this A LOT. You've put into words what I have failed to, I think. I also use my diary as a "planning tool," to set the tone for the day, and try to plan to the best of my abilities what I will eat for the day. What happens after that is sometimes somewhat different than what I planned and recorded. I don't have the time to come back and check on everything, re-plan, delete and record, etc, etc. But what I do have time for is to plan.... Thanks for replying. (:

    Yeah, I once upon did that but my diary was also set to private. Anyway if you guys have smartphones (which I didn't have at the time) it helps TREMENDOUSLY. You can log on "on the go" and rectify whatever u want! The app for Androids and IPhones are pretty sweet :)

    I have a Rumor Touch for Virgin. Don't know if I can get this on my phone. It doesn't seem to be too awesome for internet stuff. Not too concerned about it though. lol

    I use the data to analyse gains and losses so lie logging really is detrimental to that.
