MFP LIARS??||The Untold Truth|| :/

I'm thinking that most of us didn't get to the point where we needed this site by always being truthful with ourselves about what we were eating or how much activity we were doing daily, so I'm pretty sure there are many who haven't quite broken themselves from that mentality.

When I first joined back in June, I was still lying to myself, even while I was logging, about the foods I was eating until I saw that my weight started going back up (to my highest) while I was "logging" and "exercising". I also had to make my diary open so that I would feel obligated to be accurate when others looked. I have some friends who have to keep theirs private so they don't feel the need to "cushion" themselves from the perceived judgement of others.

Over the years, we have built up habits, including lying about anything having to do with our weight, and they are hard habits to break.

Here at Myfitnesspal I have had nothing but positive loving comments and loads of support!! ..SO that leads me to my reason for this post ...Why lie about things like your weigh in for the week or your food diary, even your start weight!! ..Someone questioned me asking "Did you really burn 2000 calories today?" ..:noway: UM YEAH! Why lie? All the support I receive at MFP even if I gained 18lbs in a week they'll still support and help get me back on track!!:flowerforyou: . At the end of the day we're all in this journey together sooo ... are you a MFP Liar???

Your doing an amazing job...so just keep doing what you do & don't worry about the rest! At the end of the day your the only one who know's what u have done & your the only one that it should matter to!

I couldn't lie on here if I tried! I'm so anal when it comes to logging my food & exercises :laugh: LOL

I hear you girl! I know you burnt those calories because I was seeing when you would post each time you were done working out. I have lost 33pounds in 5 weeks and I am sue there are those who probably won't believe it but why would I lie about my weight loss? I would only be hurting myself. I am always honest on my diary and about my exercise and weight loss. There are a few who may judge but I don't worry about what they may say because I know what I am doing and the only opinion that matters to me is God's! I do feel though when I have a treat day once a week or so I have to add a disclaimer so others don't start telling me well I shouldn't have had this or that. You keep doing the awesome job you are doing because most here on mFP are very encouraging and supportive. YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

I log it all... Good or Bad it all gets logged. This would not work for me if i didn't and I cant offer or recieve support and motivation from my dear MFPals.

Definately not! I find being on MFP making my diary public inspires me to keep be honest and LOG EVERYTHING! I figure if people can see what I eat do etc...then I have to face them in a way and explain why I ate crap one day! IYKWIM! I look at my diary and think that if people see all the fruit I ate or water I drank they will see I am really trying to lose weight. And if they were to see my dairy with junk food etc then maybe they would think less of me...does that make sense? I log everything...and I mean everything so I stay on track! Its also a way of improving my diet habits.

I'm the same, keeping my diary open keeps me in check and more likely to opt for healthy choices because
a) i don't want to have to log something bad
and don't want others to see me eating bad things, i want them to be impressed with my healthy choices
