Who's Willing To Admit This?

How many of you have hit the "Complete Entry" button on your app at the end of the day and then continued to eat? I will be the first to admit I have done it on a number of occasions. I am only deceiving myself and hurting myself. Perhaps I should not hit the button until I am in bed with my teeth brushed!

    As long as you log anything you eat after you hit "Complete Entry," it isn't going to harm you. You're still recording the calories that you are consuming.

    When I logging I usually didn't log dinner until the next day, so that was never an issue for me. I never hit that button though.

    That's what I do as well, there is no point in trying to cheat, your body knows you ate or drank it.

    Sometimes I try and limit myself on late night snacking by doing that, but if I eat after I completed my entry for the day I just go back and add. Then I hit it again.

    I never hit complete. What's the use of it? It's all there and recorded any way.

    Weird, my button always just says add another entry afterwards. I've never looked to repress it.

    I hit complete after I brush my teeth but if I eat something after I add it. It's not something where I feel like a deviant if I eat after clicking it. It's all being tracked regardless.

    I don't ever "complete entry". What you eat is what you eat, regardless of whether you press that button or not.

    I don't even use it. I mostly forget, to be honest!

    OP, I have done it a couple of times. On both occasions, I had no intentions of eating more, but I was really hungry and thought I would just have a bite of something little. Well, that bite became several mouthfuls. I felt terrible! My biggest regret was being deceitful to my MFP friends. You know you are lying to yourself, but your friends are accepting your news feeds as truthful and accurate. This alone keeps me in line the vast majority of the time I hit that "complete" button.

    I think I've hit complete entry like...twice?
  • Posts: 28,055 Member
    Sure, I've continued to eat...and continued to log.
  • Posts: 26,368 Member
    Several times, but I still log it...

    Now I don't even bother hitting the complete button.

    I did because I thought that was the only way to save my logged info. Once I realized the info is saved even if I don't "complete" my diary, I don't bother. You can do it all you want and log afterwards. It doesn't make a difference.

    I hit the complete entry after I ate Thanksgiving dinner and it was mind boggling! LOL

    I don't bother to "complete entry". Doing so or not doesn't have any meaning for me :)

    Anytime you see "Michelob Ultra", "skinny Margarita" "Lambrusco wine" oin my journal entries then most likely I have done this. Luckily I don't drink as much since starting MFP.

    I never click it because it stresses me out for that reason. Days I log, I log everything. Sometimes I take a break.
  • Posts: 4,440 Member
    I don't ever click it. There's really no point.
  • Posts: 6,474 Member
    never,,, and I do it at all lunchtime. I stick to my exercise and the food. I am DEDICATED!
  • Posts: 1,411 Member
    I have sometimes changed what I eat if I have added stuff in that would allow for a later snack but it's always within the same amount of calories. I have added or removed stuff after I've clicked it. But it's always a pretty accurate representation of the calories I eat.

    I don't know why I "complete" my diary, it's like an OCD thing if I don't. I agree with others that it's pretty useless, except for my own weird brain.

    Nope. I don't play that game. I don't close it out until 7 or 8 pm. and dont eat until lunch the next day. If I even close it out at all.

    Sure now and then I have a bite of something after I finish. Not very often and I usually go back in and add the item. Sometimes I don't. I know what I ate and I am really only accountable to myself.

    Don't hit that button anymore

    I hit the complete the next morning, when I am eating breakfast. Sometimes I have some herbal tea or water and do not record it until the next day.
