Ways to remember to log food

Ugh, I had a horrible weekend. I've been going strong, eating amazingly well over the past month, not giving into stress. Actually, I've only had a few binges in the past six weeks and I've been feeling really great. Then I totally binged over the weekend. The big thing I noticed is that I didn't log in to MFP at all over the weekend. Not because I didn't want to face the awful truth, I just wasn't considering my good habits, my health or anything... I just sat in the good feeling of a binge. At any rate, I've noticed that I binge when I skip using MFP for more than a day. Now that the weekend's done, I get to see all my actions in the harsh light of day and I'm not happy with myself. For me, I guess MFP serves as a great reminder to consider my actions without bringing in all the negative feelings that I have some personal fault. I know I can recover and move on, but I really feel upset that I just can't build a habit out of recording my food over the weekends, when my entire mode of operation is just different. I have way less structure over the weekends. I've done great in the past, but this past weekend was a reminder that I still have a way to go. I need to figure out a good trigger to remind me about MFP if I'm not in my usual mode of operation. Alarms don't seem to work and I haven't been able to build a mental link to log things whenever I pickup some food. Any advice is appreciated.
