    I don't mind sharing my food dairy.

    The only thing on MyFitnessPal.com that I keep private is my personal blog entries.

    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 honest :smile:

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    I don't like other people's spit in my milkshakes. My own spit is enough to deal with.
