Hi :) Looking for some friends

Hello
I am not new to weight loss, and had a MFP account once where I lost a little weight. But this time I need to stay with it and lose the whole thing. (I think of the last time as my dress rehearsal, lol.)
Unfortunately, I am also not new to weight gain. I am susceptible to binge eating and drinking when things go wrong. I can be doing so well, and then one binge will derail everything.
So I'm trying to come up with some new strategies to deal with the bad times.
But that stuff aside, the things that work for me are:
Walking and jogging regularly
Planning the week's meals
Eating B, S, L, S, D
Not starving myself and getting into the mindset that food can be fun, but it is fuel first
Immersing myself in hobbies.
My favorite hobbies are: learning to sew, knitting, learning to program in java to make an app one day, watching and rewatching new Doctor Who, watching classic Doctor Who for the first time (currently experiencing Tom Baker years and loving it), and writing pretty much anything. I'd love to write a book one day. (Preferably on all of the weight I've lost on MFP, LOL!)
I'm 37 or 38. Can't remember which anymore. When you are close to 40, it stops mattering. I substitute teach, and I have a 6 and a 7 year old who make the days matter.
If any of this resonates with you, feel free to add me. I log every day and love to hit the like button on your successful statuses
