    I log the lot, I'm not bothered if I get an ear full.

    As long as I stay under my target number for the week I don't worry about it. In the event I go over my target one day because I've had a few beers or whatever, I log those too.

    Why? Because I can see where my weakness lies and try to do something about it over time. My goals are low, lose 1lb per week so that affords me the odd pleasure when I fancy it.

    I have my diary locked. I find there is a lot of judgement on here regarding what we eat. I want friends to celebrate my success with - If i am having an issue with my diet, i will seek the advice of a professional, not the wannabe professionals here on MFP.

    I only have my diary open to friends on MFP. I agree with there occasionally being judgement in the world at large (MFP and everywhere else!). I posted a response to a question the other day and mixed up terminology and got blasted. So I'm going to be a little more cautious in the future. But for the friends I have one here, I'm an open book.

    What's the point of lying? It defeats the point of the whole thing, doesn't it?


    ^^^^^This^^^^^ and you only hurt yourself by being dishonest with your food diary. :drinker:

    Haha, I record it all. :D The only person who's allowed to judge me is myself. And I tend to let myself go overboard if I let myself conveniently forget what I've done wrong. ;)

    Never. Even if I eat like complete crap in a day. No point in lying.

    I don't log food for my MFP friends, I do it for me so why would I lie to myself? The FEW times I sort of err 'adjust the numbers' if you will is if I accidentally skipped a snack time and ate something extra at a meal to compensate - rather than adding it all under 1 meal I add it as the snack it was intended to be. So I SUPPOSE you could construe that as lying, though I don't lie about portions, food, etc. just about when I eat it if you wanna call that lying. But again. I don't log for my friends, I do it for me :)

    I only recently made my diary available to friends. Doing so has given a little boost. I definitely put everything in the diary. I don't see any reason to do otherwise. This is my record of adherence and performance. I need the record to help me when I review previous weeks to get pointers on my successes.

    I log everything, even the stuff that I'm embarrassed about. That way I think twice about what I eat. Hopefully it will eventually prevent me from eating so much crap and start making better choices that I'd be proud to have everyone see.

    I try to record everything, though I gotta bad habit of not quite covering anything during my 'cheat days'. Should start doing that too. ANYWAYS, as I said, try to get everything. If i can't be 100% accurate, I round up to the highest number, and keep myself on the cautionary side ... while still enjoying something good on the side.

    Eatin's too good to spoil it on avoiding the good stuf.

    I used to be embarrassed about how much alcohol I drank because I am an alcoholic, now that I'm sober I'm honest about everything but even when I wad drinking every night I used the quick add feature. Lying to your friends is lying to yourself. If I have a really bad day I might just make it so it's doesn't show up on the feed but my friends are all supportive we're in this together we all have bad days.
