Do you lie to your MFP friends about what you eat?

I record everything!! Some days I go over, some days I don't.

I record everything, good or bad..Why lie? You are only cheating yourself if you do..

I am totally truthful of everything I eat....... why lie? I am trying to get healthy and fit for myself... not for my friends on here...... and I know my food choices are not perfect... but I am trying........

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 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.

I admit when I'm in the wrong because I've been through this too many damn times to lie to myself or others BUT I do have a friend that I've been trying to get to join MFP for a while- She came up to me the other day and said to me, "Nadine, I finally recorded what I ate on here and it said I was under eating, but, I didn't put in the cheeseburger I ate earlier or the alcohol I had." LOL I just had to shake my damn head.

Isn't the point of the diary being honest with yourself? so no I miss absolutely nothing. However mines private.

My diary is absolutely honest. However, I do not share it, as I do not wish to be judged on what I eat. I stay very close to my calorie goal (w/in 100 give or take). Sometimes, it is because I eat veggies and fish. Other times, it is because I visited Cold Stone Creamery. My business, unless I am seeking advice re same. I'm not here for advice, truth be told; I am here for inspiration/motivation (both to give and to receive).

This!! ^^^^
Just saw this after posting mine. But, I couldn't have said it any better!

I keep my diary private...what I eat or don't eat is no one's business but my own. I log it all, although I did take this weekend off from logging for the first time! But what's the point of using this site if you're not going to be truthful...you're only hurting yourself.

I log everything. It keeps me accountable to myself first and then to whomever chooses to view my diary.

Nope! That would mean I'd lie to myself!

I have none so no I don't lie to them. But if I did I wouldn't lie as much as not fill out the weekends when I usually do bad things. Plus I've been on a break. Being sick does that.

I try not to log emotional binges (I've had one in three months so it's not an all the time situation.)
I will get discouraged and I'm really hard on myself.
This thread is kinda funny, at the beginning it says to do whatever works for you and not to listen to what other people say about your diary followed by 'If you don't log you're lying to yourself.'
If I have a binge, I know it's a bad day... so to keep myself from 'loosing momentum' I'll make the note, and start over the next day.

A lot of people don't agree with it, but you know...I've lost 16 pounds so far(In two months), so obviously it's working for me.
I think the key is focusing on your own diary...though I love looking for food ideas in other people's diary.
I'd never post 'Wow dude that cheeseburger from Red Robin, you're doomed.'
That's their diary and their journey.

It's funny, I've been great about logging everything since day one. No holds barred, Regardless of how it may look. The only exception being there was one day where I went out and couldn't calculate the calories...wrote off all I had left, and commented on it.

About a month ago I started seeing someone I met here. It made me pause for about one nanosecond because of course we naturally want our best self to show for someone we're seeing. And bad days can be REALLY bad for all of us. But then I realized a few things: 1. This person had seen my good days AND bad ones for months...hadn't judged me negatively before, why would they start? 2. The person who gets hurt by a lie is just me. 3. If they're not supportive/understanding of the occasional bad day now that they know both virtual AND real world me, that should be a red flag for real world me.

Bottom line for anyone is you came to MFP for you. Honesty or dishonesty only impacts YOU. And people here who are mean or judge you harshly when things don't go as well as we'd like, instead of offering advice or support or encouragement, probably shouldn't be on your list.

Surely if you're lying on your diary, it's yourself you're lying to, not your friends? I've eaten absolute rubbish today, but it was around my calorie limit so i'm not too bothered, if i was eating rubbish and wayyyy overshooting my calories all the time there's not much point in me bothering with this in the first place. I let friends see my diary, I'm honestly not too fussed if they don't like what I eat, they don't have to eat it! But I have a few other veggie friends and it's nice to check out each others diaries for ideas on meals and stuff.
