"Usually this means binge time": it used to be the same for me too, and I still remember that dreaded feeling very well.
Would it help if you were to think about why you tend to binge on weekends? Is it out of relief or association food/freedom ("work=watching my food/depriving" and "free day="freedom and all the food I want"?)? Is it because you're with other people who constantly eat pizza & beer, and you feel pressured to eat the same? Anything else?
For instance, in my case, I used to binge on weekends because those were my two days without work & school, but the few friends I had at that point were busy on weekends, so I wouldn't see anyone, or not much, and eating alone in my room was at least a way of keeping me busy and "full" with something. If you see what I mean. To stop bingeing, I had to convince myself that 1) I wasn't *doomed* to binge, it was only because I had decided so, and 2) I had to find ways of filling my weekends that didn't include food (starting another activity, meeting new people through it, seeing those people later... well, alright, it did involve restaurants and meals at times, but without the need to "fill myself up to break solitude", those weren't a problem, I didn't eat that much during such meals).
I hope this helps.
