Okay, I'm mostly just being a smart-alec here, I'm in that kind of mood. I always see the question, "Why is your food diary private?" Why doesn't anyone wonder why someone's is public?

    I don't care if people know what I eat. I do not comment to folks who are under their calories but keep their diaries private cause they could be eating poorly and under their calories too, just my view!

    Mine is public because I have asked a few people for tips and they asked to be able to see my diary. I do look at others' diaries, mostly because I'm nosey :laugh:, but I'm curious about what other people are eating while they are trying to lose weight and to get tips on other foods to add to my menu! :bigsmile:

    I sometimes look at my friends to see what others are eating...hell they might be eating something I never thought I could eat on a diet?!

    I love checking out what other people are eating. It gives me ideas for my own diet.

    Good question... well, it's as good a question as "why keep it private" anyway :smile:

    Mine is public because... um, I don't remember why I made it public nearly a year ago. I haven't had any reason to change it since, but I really don't have an issue with what other people choose to do.

    I agree, I only view my own...
    Not worried about anyone elses.

    I'm here to be healthier and want to try to share my success with others. Wouldn't mind construction criticism and I have nothing to hide.

    Shall I make some snarky comments like on the private diary threads -

    "Oh, people who have their diaries public must be attention seekers or need outside validation, why else would they have it public?"

    Why do people care so much? Some are public, some are private. People have different levels of comfort. Shouldn't that be respected?

    Mine is private bc if I want input on what I am eating, I'll ask for it--otherwise....

    I keep my public because I decided to completley commit myself to my diary even if I ate something horrible. Makes me accountable and I really think before I eat something. Would I want everyone on the internet to know that I ate that and I'm claiming to be trying to loose weight. :ohwell:
