I Sometimes Eat Too Many Calories! Help.

Hi!

Long story short: I recently lost tons of weight... in 1 or 2 months. I worked out hard and ate small portions (counted calories). I fell in love with the new me. After my weight loss I felt the urge to eat. and eat. ...and eat! I began craving things I never even had when I was over weight! Like cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, etc. I gained about 10 pounds. I developed gastritis. Horrible experience!! I went to the doctor and finally got it taken care of. I am now at a healthy weight and maintain eating right and exercising regularly. HOWEVER sometimes (usually weekends or when I'm home alone) I binge eat like crazy! I'm not even hungry! I eat simply for pleasure or if I get bored. I ALWAYS consider calories when eating and most of the time, I eat less than than what I should. I have a feeling it's a mental thing but seriously, if I eat a meal that is 300 calories or over, I freak out! I should be eating 1,700ish but I feel like I should never pass above 1,200. If I can keep it under 1,000 - the better! I have a feeling this is why after my long day at work/school I just want to eat and eat! When this happens I don't give a **** about calories. (sorry about that) Afterwards I feel bad, guilty, and ...fat (the worst feeling). I hate it! But I seriously don't know what to do! Can anyone help!?? 

Also, when this does happen, is it safe to workout the same day/night? Or would it be best to wait until morning. I just hate going to bed feeling all the bad stuff that went into my stomach. 

PLEASE HELP! Thanks a bunch
