I think there's a world of difference between cheating and binging. Having the occassional dinnertime cheat meal or high starchy carb/low fat carbup keeps me focused on my WOE. It's one meal and then back to LCing. I don't tend to gain from these.

Bingeing is an entirely different beast. An "all out" eat whatever I want all day will do nothing but damage for me. One day turns into several and I can't stop. This pattern packs on the pounds. I personally find that restricting calories (even by 250/day) or my quest for perfection with my eating sends me into binges. So I try to not stress over the odd "controlled" indulgence.

YMMV
