    The default is closed. If people can see, it, you have made it public. If you don't want to be embarrassed that people can see it, I'd suggest:

    a) not making it public;
    b) not starting threads about how embarrassed you are that it is public; and
    c) not inviting people who post in your thread about how embarrassed you are that it is public to go and have a look for themselves.

    Hon, if you would like someone to have a look at your diary and give feedback, you just need to ask. If you want to vent about the food you eat and get some advice or support, you also just need to ask.

    Lots of people start threads asking others to review their diaries and give feedback. You don't need to pretend that you didn't know it was public and do the whole "omg, that's so bad, don't look! no, really, please don't look!" thing to get people to engage with you.

    The directness of the MFP boards can be overwhelming at first. People can expect more of a Facebook style love-in, but that's not how it ends up.

    Embrace people's honesty and experience here and your food intake will be less crap before you know it.

    Wow some judgemental people on here! We are all part of the same journey, We are on here as we want to be healthier!!! So embrace someone for messing up on one day,its not like we all eat perfectly ALL year round!!! Shame on those accusing her of attention seeking. Negativity helps no one

    To be fair, if her diary is open she would have had to open it. Acting suprised that it is open is kind of wierd. But to each their own. Good luck in your journey OP. My advice is to dip one toe at a time in the forums to develop a thick skin and avoid chit chat and games til you have become immune to wierd and monotonous.

    could be a genuine mistake, as none of us know her personally (ive added her so hopefully will be able to get to know a bit) we cant assume either way. Good luck on urs too. I want everyone to do what they can and hopefully enjoy the journey. I have low days where i eat bad and feel awful but i have a friend on here who is dieting too so we vent. Maybe ppl need these forums to vent if theres no one around to talk to. Good luck everyone! :D Peace x

    oh honey you're in for a rude awakening! This is one of the nicer, gentler forum settings on the internet. At least no one is going out of their way to be nasty (although it seems you think they are). Buckle up!

    I dont need to toughen up miainly cos its not aimed at me. Like i said i talk to my best friend who is on the same weight loss journey as me. Also a great believer in "if u cant say anything nice" the comments upset her so I thought they were unnecessary. Im a sunshine person, water off a ducks back and all that so thanks for the heads up but I'm fine :P

    Your diary is set private by default. You have to literally have to change settings to open it up, which implies you knew it would be opened. Unless of course, you didn't understand what MFP meant by this: 8a06f45d4f.png
