The Open Diary

I decided to leave my diary open, so I could practice honesty with my food. I was/am concerned that it will lead to comparing, judging, restricting, etc. Last week I made a post about being surprised about a food content and was mentally scratching it off of my grocery list. A friend looked at my diary and suggested I recheck the numbers. She was right, it was a mistake in the database. Luckily I had left my diary open, or God only knows how long it would have been until I would be willing to eat another strawberry!
I have looked through several of my friends' diaries, and so far have not been triggered. I am surprised about how much some people restrict, and can tell from their posts that they don't have much peace of mind. Not judging them, but that is DEF not what I am looking for. I am also surprised by how much some exercises burn. I currently only walk my dog and am grateful for the extra 130 cals it burns. I find that I exercise the least of my friends. 2 walks with the dog every day. That's ok, I'm grateful to have a dog that needs walking.
One of my goals is to not eat less than 300 under my MFP suggested cal target. And of course I don't want to go OVER
I'm interested in what others have to say about the open or locked diary.
