I'm awful about binge eating and definitely understand where you're coming from. What I'm trying to do is to plan (I use MFP) yumminess into each day - ie: I have a brownie with lunch most days, I eat cheese and wine during sunset on our days off (but I also take fruit and veggies to go with it), etc. If I can find a healthier version (FiberOne Brownie, for example), I'll go for that. That way I don't feel totally deprived.
I've also given myself days here and there where I tell myself I can eat whatever I want. And I do end up eating more than I should, but not as much as I used to, as I know I'm allowing myself to do this and I know how much havoc it can cause the scale. I think 'allowing' it gives one more sense of control, which helps prevent a true binge, when I feel totally out of control.
It's tough and there's a learning curve to figure out what works best and to find that happy middle ground. I'm still trying to figure it out. Best of luck to you!
