I haven't had a binge in years, but to me, overeating is when you eat too much of something you like. A binge is when you're standing in front of the fridge and consume anything that's vaguely edible looking, including yesterday's cold boiled potatoes, sugar straight from the bag and possibly the cat's food.
i.e. a binge is far more compulsive. overeating is more like "oh, I'll just have one spoon... hey where did the peanutbutter go?"
