Does your body store all calories you eat?

I binged last weekend and took in several thousand calories more than I need. I'm obviously looking to address the issue behind the binge eating but what I want to know is whether a human body stores all calories that goes into it and converts it into fat. What if it were a mass quantity of calories? These sporadic binge cycles are wrecking me and I'm wondering whether they're completely undoing all my hard work.
I'm trying super hard to stop binging once and for all. I used to be anorexic and the binge-eating came about during recovery and now shows up when I'm extremely tired. I'm trying as hard as I can to fight it. Thanks and please be kind.

No, your body does not immediately store all calories you consume. Some are converted into ATP, glycogen, etc. Excess calories are stored as glycogen, fat, and muscle, in varying ratios depending on the whole picture.0
