I don't mind sharing my food dairy.
The only thing on MyFitnessPal.com that I keep private is my personal blog entries.0 -

Share don't share it's all personal preference - personally making my diet public keeps me more accountable about my food
This. I think I'm more likely to be self controlled because my diary is open. I like my friends food diaries to be open too, otherwise you just make some bland, non-specific comment when they finish logging for the day. I'm never judgemental (unless someone is following a VLC regime, I did unfriend someone who was consistently eating less than 1000 calories a day) and I'm not bothered if I get the occasional critisism of my cake and biscuit habit. I haven't ever had a problem to be honest0 -
Check mine out. Its the bomb! :explode:0

Yeah but they do.Meh. Introverts versus extroverts.
Yep. I'm self-conscious about eating even with real life friends, and even if it's healthy!
Silly but meh, we have a choice for a reason.0 -
Part of my disordered eating involved being embarrassed about what and when I ate.
I keep my diary open nowadays as part of a deal I've made not to be ashamed of my food choices no matter how weird they may look.
I can understand others' reasons for privacy. Having said that, so far no one has judged my eating habits. My friends list is great In the past when I posted the odd 'wah can't control my diet/lose weight' stuff on the forums, I always got helpful advice and suggestions and never any snark or nastiness.0 -
Mine is open to friends. Honestly, I'm too lazy to go back and change my settings. If you WANT to see/judge what I am eating, then just friend me on here. I don't log on my "cheat days" (ok, this was a "cheat weekend") anyway (again...too lazy), so I'm not self-conscious...0

Those of you who have open diaries have that MFP given right.
If someone asks for dieting/exercise advice, I can understand how an open diary can be useful for those giving the advice, but opening the diary is still voluntary.
I have not asked for advice and have an MFP given right to have a closed diary, blog, profile and anything else on this website, however, almost every day someone poses the question asking why my diary is closed. I feel pressured to open up what I consider private. Not because I am ashamed of my eating or exercise habits, not because I am afraid of criticism, but because those are my boundaries and I believe they should be respected. Whom I allow into my personal space (in this case, my food/exercise diary) is still my choice. I have not seen one post asking why others open their diary, I do not believe those of us choosing to have closed diaries or diaries opened only to chose people, should be questioned.
I like MFP because it's a little more adaptable than some of the other food/exercise log websites, but no other website I've been on has allowed this kind of questioning. I don't understand why I have to defend my position when I've never asked you to defend yours.
My food log, blog and profile are private - for my eyes only, unless I decide to change it. Period.0 -

Now I want a milkshake....
(This has silently become a "loose" vs "lose" thread... :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I don't like other people's spit in my milkshakes. My own spit is enough to deal with.0

Because I log everything under breakfast
I eat weird, like I will have 5 bananas in one day
So no one would really benefit from it anyways0 -
Ermergerd! I'm lactose intolerant and too much moo will make me poo! That being said I really want a blizzard with mint Oreo...like I could gnaw off my husband's arm for one...I wonder how many calories there are in a big ol' bite of hubby...and no I won't share.0
