    I keep my diary open - as far as I see it, if I'm being honest with myself with what I log I'm open for any criticism. Also, I like people to look at my diary and go "ooh, that meal sounds nice I might make that tomorrow" and I enjoy seeing the same, I've been inspired by looking at my MFP pals diaries and what people have been logging :)

    I too dont quite understand the reasoning to close ones diary. While I'm usually a fairly private type of guy, I thoroughly enjoy the accountability, advice & the camaraderie amongst my MFP friends. I mean, isnt that what being on MFP is all about??

    I totally agree with this comment. Most of us eat something that is not considered a wise or healthy choice from time to time, but if we ate this way all the time then hopefully a caring friend might be able to offer some constructive advice - if our diary is open for all to see. Plus - I like to look at the successful losers diaries to see what the secret of their success is.

    well, my diary is open. I don't appreciate judging my eating habits tho. Maybe I'll do better closing it. I want motivation, not ridicule.

    I think you're overthinking this. Just don't comment on closed diaries then and be on your way.
    Not everyone is on 1200 cal per pday so being under is no nig deal. I have 1950 cal per day + exercise cals so am under all the time but my diary is closed. I don't want comments on it, I wish MFP wouldn't post that stupid notice when I complete my entries. If I remember I X it out of the news feed.

    I started here with having mine open to my MFP "friends" but recently closed it...yes, I eat too much chocolate and no where near enough fruits and veggies. But I KNOW this and don't need someone else pointing it out...I am trying to incorporate new things and every day I work on it, but I'd rather not have the judgement, even if it's by people I don't know.

    And I rarely comment on anyone's diary, except one of my new friends as I know he's been struggling and could use the encouragement and feedback.

    I don't care what people eat. I'd prefer that the feed didn't contain that little "end of day" blurb. I never comment on people's end of day.
