I guess cause diet is very personal?
I keep mine open because I like to show off and hopefully disgust people.
BEHOLD THE DOZEN DUCK AND CHICKEN EGGS I EAT IN A WEEK!0 -
Mine is closed mainly because that was the default setting for one.
Two, because I feel the diary is more for me and not really anyone else. Like a personal thing.0 -
Lol I don't know...some people don't want to be judged..or maybe they don't want others to know they went over...0

Mine is set to private because I don't log anything or count calories.0

I was wondering the same thing0

this and even if I did I would be too lazy/apathetic to change my settings so people can look at it.0 -
Because if you aren't on my friends list, why are you checking my diary? Mine is open if you are a friend, otherwise, it's closed.0

Mine is closed cuz i know colonel sanders recipe, and its listed in my notes;)0
-
Because it is no one's business what I eat?0
-
I have wondered the same thing. I really don't care who sees mine. No point in me lying about what I ate, I would only be hurting myself.0
-
Mine's open to my friends. Why is it anyone else's business what we do? This isn't group weight loss.0
-
hahaha... the hiders.....0

Cos it's none of your beeswax? Why do you care what peeps is eating, unless they specifically ask "what's wrong with my diet?"0

My favorite is people who want help with the diet and/or overall weight loss and have their diary locked. Well, how in the world can anyone tell anything about you without even smidgeon of information?0
-
I don't think everyone should know every bite that goes into my mouth. And, especially on days like today, I ate at least 8 jumbo red vines. I stopped counting...0
-
I don't like eating in front of people.. I guess it's the same thing but internet style?0
-
Idk a little personal for me. Id rather keep it the way it is.
Its for my use only anyways lol.
Its a to each their own thing i suppose.0 -

You ate what you ate, regardless of if people can see it or not. It's not like people are just gonna go stalk random food diaries and freak out about the cupcake you ate, or going over 23 calories one day. Often a person will say that they ate a big meal, and ask how should they fix the rest of their day so they don't go over, but how are you supposed to be able to answer without knowing how big of a meal they ate or how many calories they have left, etc.
Or they claim to eat very balanced diets and work out, but are still struggling.. but won't let you look at their diary so you can give advice/opinions.0 -
1. They're a pig and don't want people to see how much they're eating
2. They do something out of the norm such as eat 800 calories a day, or fast sometimes, low carb, or just something that most people don't usually do. They are concerned people will criticize them.
3. It keeps the more accountable. If I eat a large cake, I can log it and know i ate, but no one else would see it, so I don't have to feel self conscious about it. Easier people to log under this condition.
#2 and #3 are both true for me, and I'm sure these are major reasons for a lot of other people who have their diaries hidden. #3 especially. Yesterday, I went on a crazy booze bender and ate complete **** food (and lots of it). I didn't want to log it because I didn't want my friends to see. I ended up logging it anyway (and now publicly telling everyone) but if it's completely private I wouldn't hesitate to log it if only I was going to see it.0 -

Or this: I am exercising, eating healthy/clean and not losing, or they will give you a list of things they do eat, but keep the diary closed, and expect honest answers. People if you are exercising and not losing, and you really want an honest answer open your diary. My diary is open I have nothing fear, but the fat that is slowly removing itself from my body.,0
