Looking for motivational friends!

I know there are a ton of topics on this so I apologize but i wasn't finding exactly what i was looking for.
I've been on MFP for awhile and have enjoyed using it. i have people in real life i can talk to about fitness or dieting but I'd really like to find more people they are in somewhat of the same situation I am in.
I constantly struggle with my eating. I love cooking and the idea of eating fresh, unprocessed foods and limiting all the junk but sometimes I get in these moods where I will eat crap for weeks. It's been hard explaining that to people because I work out and eat seemingly healthy in front of people. But sometimes I can binge when I'm by myself. I only really need to lose 10 pounds or so but would really like to work towards changing my overall eating habits.
I started running a few years ago and I've done a handful of 5Ks, 10Ks and two half marathons. I've also been doing P90X and in the past have done yoga, boxing and cycling. I still feel like it's hard to get motivated sometimes though!
I know this is all really specific and I don't necessarily want someone who is exactly like me but I thought I'd put a little bit of my story out there and see if anyone is interested in being friends. I'd really just like some people I can talk to about what they're doing and how to keep each other motivated! So feel free to add me and we can do this together.

Hi, great post. I've dropped 64 lbs from at-home exercise (P90X being the biggest piece of that) and eating right. I'd love to buddy up and help you along your journey. Also, I help to run support groups through Facebook. We have lots of people in there that are improving themselves and helping everyone else to stay accountable. We teach about proper nutrition and how to exercise. I'd be happy to chat with you about it if that is something that you're looking for.
