Bride to be in need of maintenance support

Hey everyone,
so, I managed to lose my 50+ish pounds of weight I needed to lose, but now I'm in a predicament. I've been around where I've wanted to be since May but since then my weight has been going up and down as much as 4-5 lbs. I don't know what to do to keep myself from slacking like I have been (giving myself more lee-way in the desserts and eating out area).

When I was actively losing I tried to stay away from eating out like it was plague and I did pretty well, even when I did eat out I tend to be much more picky about what I chose to eat. Now, when I eat out I partially think SCREW it, I'm eating out so I'm eating what my taste buds want! It's not just my food choices that are going downhill it's also the old me coming back (binge eating). I know my stomach hurts and is full but I continue to eat, eat, eat and then go to bed feeling bloated, horrible and in a bad mood because I hate myself for overeating.

I'm newly engaged and starting to go dress shopping and I keep thinking what do I do when I find "the" dress, order it and a year later it doesn't fit because I let my taste buds get the best of me?!

Anyway, this just really hit me this morning when I stepped on the scale and it said 132 (the highest I've seen it in months) when just the beginning of this month I was 126. I was telling my friend, I don't mind if I'm 132 lbs of muscle but I don't want to be 132 lbs. of bloating due to horrible food choices.
