    I have mine open.....I am not going to hide what I ate. And I have to say I get some great ideas from others when theirs is public. Just bought some almond butter yesterday can't wait to try it(not a fan at all of Peanut Butter).

    I keep mine open because most of the time I am proud of what I chose to eat. I don't flaunt it and say hey go look at how many calories I didn't eat, but it's there if someone wants to look. I'm an open person.

    My diary is open to friends. It may give them ideas on what to eat. I certainly get meal ideas from my friends. This counting calories was new to me, and I need to learn more food options. But at the same time, I am enjoying some success with my eating and weight loss, so by leaving my food diary open, others may be able to get ideas from me. And if I become less successful, friends would be able to take an objective look and give me their thoughts. Sharing, education, encouragement.
