    A deep dark chocolate and alcohol secret maybe?

    Mine's open to the world. Three days' worth anyways. I'm not against suggestions and tips, but I don't openly invite them either. I guess it depends on the kind of comment. I know it's encouragement, but overall *I* am doing this to help regulate my life. It's a weird transition from caring nothing about my body to really focusing what I eat and the activities I do. It's a work in progress. I only have a foot in the water, and I don't want a head-to-toe fitness nut (a good thing, I may very well be one some day) hounding me on how I go about this change in my lifestyle.

    A few suggestions here and there are fine, and I'll try to be polite and appreciative whether I take the advice or not. But I'm not looking for a personal trainer. I haven't come across anyone like that yet, and like PNJB said, everyone I have contact with has been nothing but positive influences. And I have to say, this is the best online community I've ever taken part in.

    Why do people....

    Watch scary shows, then scream and jump out their seats when the scary parts come on? I love The Walking Dead, but I sometimes it makes me scream, then my kitty jumps up and has no idea what's going on.

    (Still trying to make this thread into something fun!) Your turn!! :wink:

    If I had it open I don't think I would be honest. Right now I need to be true to myself so keeping it closed for now works for me.

    That's the best reason I've seen for keeping a diary private. On the other hand, keeping mine public forces me to stay on track...98% of the time anyway.

    This is called post hijacking.

    I'm here to get in shape and support my friends, but I guess I'm just not that interested in seeing or sharing what was for breakfast. It's not my thing.

    My diary is open.

    Mostly because i have thick skin and if you give advice about my diary that i dont ask for, ill tell you to suck a hard one..

    I dont ask, and you shouldnt offer advice.

    Why do you even CARE? This is their journey. If they are failing in it.. they WILL ASK.. at that point, you can say..

    "hey, hard to help unless we see what you are eating."

    they dont need to keep it open 24/7 for people to give them **** about making a mistake.

    People need to realize that MFP is sometimes the ONLY damn place they have people to support them.. they work hard, and one simple slip up (or even a cheat day, like i have every week) is OKAY.. but people want to bully and nit pick about it.

    GROW THE HELL UP PEOPLE... these are adults. They are very aware that ice cream and brownies make ya fat.

    Leave them alone unless they ask.. "what am i doing wrong"

    They have a right to keep their diary open, or closed.

    This is a place for them to COUNT CALORIES, not to be judged, belittled or mocked.

    MIND YA DAMN BUSINESS!

    A deep dark chocolate and alcohol secret maybe?

    Usually an eating disorder. Or at least I think so. Otherwise why wouldnt they let anyone else see what they eat?

    Because they don't want people who make absurd assumptions like "anyone who doesn't have an open food diary must have an eating disorder" looking at their diary. Because god knows what that kind of person would think of them if they saw what they ate!

    Funny thread...

    Both funny as in very humorous (loved the cat comment :wink: ) and funny as in, well, just crazy. The comments about people who don't open their diaries having eating disorders is really imaginative :tongue:

    It actually makes me appreciate that MFP is allowing for a choice to either share the food and exercise diaries or keep it to oneself.

    Thank you, MFP :flowerforyou:

    I think people are selective as too whom they allow read there food dairies, because there is so much unqualified advise handed out, from people who have a little bit of knowledge.
