I like pickled beets, too.
One other thought on cheating and binging. I sometimes overeat a lot of a good food, and then have a lesser amount of a bad food. So, I might stuff myself, but I mostly ate something not too bad, and just a bit of the bad thing.
Most recently, I took my son to pizza hut for a last-day-before-school lunch. I ate a ton of salad but then had four pieces of pizza (granted, they are cut pretty small, and I got the thin crust that was set out). But, the last thing I tasted before leaving was cheese and sause (hmmmm.... sauce), and I was stuffed, but I really didn't eat that much pizza.
The other thing I do is that I have one or two meals a week that are whatever I want. I look forward to those, and they keep me on track the rest of the week. (And, by now, those "whatever I want meals" are not nearly as bad as a real, die-hard pigout).
I've also found a couple or three times when I was getting the urge to eat more and also feeling like I might need a wee break. So, I'll go a long weekend with no exercise at all, eat a hefty amount, and then I've found that I gained a pound but not necessarily fat. Kind of a regenerating and refueling.
