Are we being honest in our diaries? If not, why be here? I find my diary helps me see what does/does not work for me....and enjoy getting ideas from others diaries...not looking to judge , just for ideas and help on this journey.
Looking for friends with open diaries to glean ideas from. :happy:

My diary is open to everyone. However, I use mine as a planning tool, not as a way to keep myself accountable by logging what I've already eaten. I rarely deviate from my plan, but this past weekend I did. I didn't bother to go back and put the extra junk in there that I ate, because the way I use it, that wouldn't be useful to me.0

I have mine open to friends. I think it's kind of silly to NOT open it to friends honestly. we're all here for the same thing---to be healthy. I'm sure people can understand if someone has a bad day, etc. And I'm certainly not going to judge people based on what they eat...that's on them.0

Mine is public, I log everything, as you said..no point being here if we are cheating ourselves is there!
Although I changed my diary headings, makes it a bit more interesting for others...lol

Mine is public. I make almost all of my food, I rarely eat processed stuff. (I did last night though.)0

Mine is open to friends, but it's mostly so we can borrow meal ideas, and know how nutritious the meal was. I love seeing what other people do with something as versatile as pancakes, or wildrice.0

Mine is public, I log everything and don't mind people having a look. I often have a look at others diaries...not to have an opinion...but to look for great meal ideas0

Im honest in mine but Ive kept mine priivate for now.
There is no use cheating in it as you are only cheating yourself , so there is no gain in doing it.
All you would see in mine is chicken breasts and veggies and oatmeal plus any junk I give in to.
Im a very picky and boring eater.0 -
Oh snap! I would hope mine was open. I need to go check it out...how do I make it public?0

Mine is open to my friends. I figure my friends are supposed to be there for support and they can't offer complete support if they can't see what I'm doing0

I'm completely 100% honest in my diary but I'm not always going to or willing to keep it open. My main reason for this is seeing how completely insane some people are around here about food. I eat 'relatively' healthily naturally and only really need to curtail my portion sizes and gross calories per day for example. I don't need people look at my diary and thinking because I eat a tortilla that I'm junking out on processed foods for example! I'm trying to increase my health- not be paranoid by the judgments of others. I can see why it is useful to have other people look at it if you run into questions/issues, or b/c some people might need the pressure of public disclosure to stay honest. I don't need that. I'm extremely honest with myself and I trust myself. I'm not a junkie looking for heroine.0

Mine is public and if I eat it I log it. Don't know if it will help, but your welcome to look. :bigsmile:0

I was kind of hesitant to open my diary at all...just because I didn't want people to know my weight - as if anyone cares! I am new to this site, and I'm not sure what my diary will contain. I do plan on being honest in my journey to get healthy! Feel free to add me as a friend!0

So...I have been using MFP for 5 weeks. I did not even know that 1. you can share diary with friends or public and 2. that I can also track something other than calories, protein, fat, and carbs. I loaded fiber and sugar as well now.
I love this site, and even if the calorie count is off on some of the preset foods, I just adjust them for others. It is working for me!
Thanks for the great tips. So far I only have one friend. He is on it regularly and we love to encourage each other. It would be great to get others too.
Thanks again!

Go to "My Home" then "settings" then "Update Diary Settings" from there you can choose to make your diary public. Right .now, yours is not.0 -
