Accountability Partner

Hello! I am not new to MFP but I am not as active as I should be. I have been having issues lately with holding myself accountable for my weight loss. I am having a lot of trouble losing these last few pounds and have even gained weight over the last few months. I would like to get firmly back on the weight loss wagon but I believe I would benefit from an accountability partner.
How I would like this to work:
1) We agree on how often we check-in with each other which includes looking at each others diaries and giving praise, instruction, and support for the day.
2) We both MUST log everything we eat and drink, no matter what.
3) All exercise must also be logged.
4) You should also try and write a note at the end of each day about how your day went and any good thing or bad thing that you felt.
5) Most importantly: Be Supportive. Being an accountability partner means supporting each other through the good weeks and the bad.
I believe that we should both have clearly listed goals so that we know what we are trying to accomplish in order to better help and support each other. Below I have listed my goals along with my reasons for having these goals.
1) Drink more water. -- I barely drink 8oz in one day and I run at least 3 times a week. I think that I am constantly dehydrated which isn't helping my running or weight loss.
2) Snack less -- I am definitely a bored muncher. I will snack even when I am not hungry and it is not a small portion either.
3) Log everything -- Going along with #2, I don't usually log what I "sneak".
4) Lose 10 pounds by July 4th -- I have gained almost 10 pounds in just a few months and I was actually trying to lose those last few pounds.
5) Have more self-control. -- I have terrible self control and I have a hard time stopping myself from eating things I shouldn't or eating when I am not hungry.
If you would like to be my accountability partner and I yours, message me so we can open up the lines of communication and support. I would like us to become friends and it would be great to have someone on this journey with me.
