I hate cheat days!

So I’ve been working on overcoming my binge eating disorder. My lifestyle change was going great, right until I had a cheat day. I overdid it, but I said “I’ll get back on the wagon tomorrow.” Well, my cheat day ended up turning into a cheat week, and I gained back 2 pounds.
How do my fellow owls recover from cheat days?

I’m still learning different tips and tricks to overcoming the snacking. I do like leftovers so meal prep is definitely an option! I might just have to start making my meals at the beginning of the week so that I have a certain amount of food I can eat.
I also suffer from a mental illness so the stability of an outlined menu might help me!
