    How do you make it public? Didn't know you could do that. Might help me to more accountable if I know someone else is watching me.

    Go to your home page then select settings in the tabs on the top, then go to change diary settings and scroll down to make it public, or you can make it only visible to friends.

    ok...just set mine to friends only. I'll send a friend request :) Just don't yell too much for the past few days. I've been really out of wack and have skipped a few meals. I'll make it up though...I'm sure!

    Mine is public, or public to friends maybe.
    But you know that show "What Not To Wear"?
    My food diary could have its own show called "What Not To Eat" :blushing:

    I go back and forth between making it private, public and friends only, lol.

    I like that I feel accountable when people can see it because it DOES help me monitor my calories more carefully. But it also does weird things to me psychologically. Like, if I cave and have a piece of chocolate, I will faithfully log it in a private journal. In a public journal I'm too tempted to leave it off. Which is irrational I realize....

    I've also had people send me messages with their opinions about what I'm eating and I don't like that. It's one thing if I were like, "I can't figure out why I'm not losing weight!" but I actually feel pretty good about my progress. I keep within my calorie range and eat good foods.... but I'm not perfect. I'm always learning and growing. Getting healthy requires so much knowledge. There's a lot of opinions fired your way and a lot of them contradict one another. It's confusing. So I like to work on one area at a time. First, getting the calories down. Then turning those calories into healthy ones. THEN paying attention to daily sodium/fat/sugar intake. When I was at a point where I was JUST starting to get comfortable logging my food, a couple of (totally well-meaning people) made comments that shook my confidence and freaked me out a bit. So I went private.....

    ....I'm thinking of going back to public, though, now that I'm feeling more confident in my choices and less likely to feel threatened by other peoples' opinions. :blushing:

    Wow, that's not really cool that people are sending completely unsolicited 'advice'. I agree that it's a learning process - I did the same thing with focusing on calories at first, then changing those to healthier calories, adn then focusing on more specifics.
