Do you have a public food diary? Wanna be friends? I am nosy and I like to look at what other people are eating.

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.0

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.0

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! 0

lol I am not one to yell sometimes my calories are all over the place.... Please excuse my behavior for last Sunday I had a huge over indulgence in cookies and didn't log til later:noway: stupid mistake . I am back on track now though0

Mine is public, or public to friends maybe.

My food diary could have its own show called "What Not To Eat" :blushing:0 -

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:0 -

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.0 -
Mine is :happy: I have no reason to hide what I'm eatting.0
-
my diary is public. please feel free to check it out and message me. i would like your input on what i'm eating, the good and the bad.0

My food diary is public. Feel free to snoop around!:bigsmile:0 -
Mine isn't public, but I'll make it so. You'll notice big gaps between entries. I used to enter stuff diligently my first year or so here. Not so much anymore The past two days have been pretty respectable though :laugh: 0
-
Mine is public as well! Feel free to look around. Normally I am a decently 'clean' eater but the chocolate last night wasn't one of my better moments! :laugh: :laugh:0

I made mine public to friends but may change it to public for anyone...it may help if I know people are watching me...lol0
-

-
I just made mine public but I'd also like some friends, so feel free to add me. I like the news feed on the main page now so I'd like to see updates for people besides myself. 0
-
Mine is! I've not logged properly for the last few days, so be gentle! :laugh:0

Mine is public and I have a blog at http://you-cant-tuck-fat-in.blogspot.com/. I journal my food on there and my struggles and successes. Feel free to read it and comment-we all need all of the support we can get!

Mine is public now and I really need friends.0

Mine is public. I didn't think anybody really ever looked at anyone else's food diary. What do you do, just click around and check out what people are eating? lol... Guess I never thought of doing that. As if I don't kill enough time on MFP anyways, with the forums and stuff....0

Mine is public. I only have a few days logged currently because I was off the wagon over the holidays and have completely started over for the new year, clean slate.0
