Looking for motivating friends :)

Hello!
I'm about a week and a half, maybe 2 weeks, in to building up my calories. I'm looking for motivational friends, and people who are good at helping with patience!
Stats:
5'1
128.8 lbs
I have used the spreadsheet posted somewhere in these forums (by heybales) to calculate my BMR, Body Fat estimate, TDEE, etc. Based on my job (teacher) and workouts (both strength & cardio), these are my #s:
BMR: 1286
BF % average: 27.39%
TDEE: 1857
Suggested eating goal: 1508
As a LONG-TERM severe-calorie-cutter-on-weekdays-binge-eater-on-weekends, I am slowly building up my calories, and currently am at 1389/day.
I am looking for people who don't mind reminding me every so often that it's not healthy to eat under your BMR, and to remind me that YES, it is possible for someone small like myself to eat over 1200 calories and not gain weight.
(side note: yes, I've read all of the forums, yes, I am on board, yes, I understand I need patience.... but, I'm human, and this might be more of a mental reset than a body metabolism reset!).
Please friend me or post in here if you'd like to be part of my weight loss journey!
