Trying to figure out how the forum can help me stay on track

I would like to find a group, maybe there is one already on here, that struggles with binging. i have had a food disorder most of my life but have healed about 70%. I use food as my comfort, friend, etc. etc. etc. I binged today, actually just now. I know all the reasons why so that doesn't really matter. I really want to do this losing weight this time. I have piddled around for about 10 years and now I want to lose the weight. I don't want to use food to manage it all.

I am a 53 year old female through the change and that adds its own issues. I refuse to starve so I am one of the ones on here doing higher calorie intake. I am okay with losing slow and steady but I want to lose. I don't want to do this for 3 weeks, which is what I tend to do, and then I quit.

I am not really sure how community can help. I notice on a lot of threads they become more of a coffee clutch or cliquey. That is not helpful for me. I already have coffee clutches. If that is all I need for support and motivation, I would not be on here.

if anyone else is struggling with the same issues and has an idea of how we can use this forum to really help each other towards our goals and help each other not to use food and stay on the program please chime in.

    Seems as if this forum is on life support. There is a FB group. Its over-moderated though. I was bounced, seems the admin doesnt think a male that weighs 126 pounds can suffer from bulimia.
