I've fallen into similar places. I think one of the best places to start is to stop dieting or restricting. Binging, for me, is usually triggered when I'm deprived of food. If I've had enough to eat, I'm much less likely to binge. From there, it's important to develop healthy habits for mindful eating by learning to eat when you're hungry. I'd also stop focusing on losing weight. Focus on being healthier. Instead of thinking about calories, think about your servings of protein and vegetables, or cutting down on sugary beverages. Take away the morality of it-you're not good/bad. This isn't a cheat meal. This is food, it's good for you, but you're doing your best for your mind and body
