:blushing: What you eat in private :frown: you wear in public.

Reading those words made me change my food diary to a public setting. I'm hoping some of you will follow me and razz me if I'm evil in my eating! lol

    Truer words have never been spoken.

    Still terrified to make my diary public, you're very brave!

    Doesn't matter what you eat, it's how much.

    I totally own up to what I eat in private. No secrets here.

    However, I'm just not comfortable making my diary public.

    Unless you're a stress eater who is extremely stressed by people commenting on your weight or eating habits. :tongue:

    I'm glad it has helped you to make your diary public. I won't be joining you, but it's always good to discover something that helps you.

    My will of steel helps me.

    I have my diary public and I log EVERYTHING... even the stuff I feel ashamed to admit. It helps me to be accountable for my choices. Otherwise, it is easy for me to shuffle stuff under the rug. AND I love to hear suggestions on my choices...(though nobody has been brave enough here yet) I may not always follow the advice, but I do always listen (when it's given in a supportive way).

    A beautiful quote to live by!! I honestly cannot think of a reason to NOT have a public diary! This isn't facebook.... anyone (ooops ok MOST people) here are simply here to hold themselves accountable for their eating and activity, as well as keep track of daily totals, and gain insight on new or unknown meals and activities....so why in the world would anyone hide their diary if they actively use MFP?! We are all here to learn and do better, and putting your honest self out there is a huge step in my opinion. Well to each their own!!

    I just don't want random people who don't know anything about me to be commenting on my stuff. My friends know about specific issues from my feed. A random person on here might not have all the details. So, my friends have access and I ask them to comment on anything they want to... but if you are not a friend, then, honestly, I don't want to hear it.

    Also, I don't agree with some of the different diet fads out there. As such, I don't want people who are religious about those things to comment because I don't care what they think.

    And it is not what you eat... it is how much you eat.

    I went public a little while ago....it really hasn't made much difference. I just do the best that I can...no one can ask for more than that. And well if they do...:tongue:
