My first thought - and I mean this kindly
- is to drop the idea that you're a "horrid 267". You're 267, that's it.
I calorie count in conjunction with healthy, clean eating, and found that I had to play with the numbers a bit in the beginning to find the right calorie level for me. None of the mathematical equations I've tried have ever really gotten it right, but they did help me find my starting point. What works for you will be highly individual - it really can vary a lot from person to person.
For myself, I presently weigh 271, and I eat roughly 1650 calories a day. At this level, I'm losing close to 3 lbs a week (average - it can be more or less than that week to week), with exercise each day. Right now, anything less and I would likely be a) hungry, or b) losing a little too quickly. There is actually some room there, based on the numbers, for me to add a few more calories, but I don't find I need them - plus, I'm happy with my rate of loss, and feel it's healthy and sustainable.
My advice would be to start with a slightly higher number and give it a couple of weeks. If you can lose at 1600-1700, better that than 1400, right? Start too low and there won't be much wiggle room later on when you need to drop your calories to keep losing. If you're not losing (which is hard to imagine), then tweak the number again and see what happens.
If your exercising 1 1/2 hours each day, you may even need to start higher still - don't discount your body's needs for fuel when you're exercising a great deal.
Regarding treats/sweets, it's really important to find what will make this work for YOU. If leaving yourself the calories for a few graham crackers or a piece of reduced-fat cake makes all the difference for you, by all means do that. You may find that before long, you'd rather put those calories to better use - but you may not. Losing weight is so individual, and really - as long as you're doing what works for you, you're doing the right thing.
Lastly, the "urge to binge" shouldn't be too much of an issue if you're eating well, and eating regularly. The beauty of calorie counting is that you only have so many in a day, and it becomes clear early on that the more carefully you "spend" them, the more food you can "buy". Make sense? By choosing healthy and low-calorie foods that are high volume and energy dense, you get more bang for your buck, and can afford to eat every couple of hours without breaking the bank (cheesy analogy, but hopefully you're still with me!). This level of calories should be plenty to allow you to eat whenever you're hungry, provided you make smart choices! That, more than anything, is key to preventing that desire to binge (at least in my experience so far).
Good luck!
