Weekend binger

What is your calorie goal set to?

Generalizing here: A mistake many people make initally is to set thier goal to lose 2lbs, and MFP gives 1200 calories as a result. If these weekend binges are hunger related, it may be helpful to bring up your calorie allowance (assuming it's low). Setting it to 1 or 1/2lbs loss a week could give you enough to eat without feeling ravenous and binging at the end of the week. Slower, but more steady, sustainable, and consistant weight loss would result.

Is it cravings/ weekend temptations related?

As TavistockToad mentioned, banking your calories is a helpful strategy for this. Or, having a weekly calorie goal instead of a daily calorie goal. This way, if something comes up like an invitation for dinner and drinks, you can enjoy them and cut back slightly more the next day. Or if you know you will be eating a high calorie meal later in the week you could cut back a tiny bit each day to earn more at the end of the week. Something as small as 50 calories a day could earn you an extra 300 to eat at the end of 6 days for example.

Another thing that helps me to mitigate cravings related binges is to give into them a little bit. As soon as I tell myself I can't have something I am craving, I just want it more. By the time I get my hands on it, I overeat it as soon as I can, totally blowing my day. For me personally, it's better to have a smaller portion and maybe throw my calories over by 1-200 to get that craving knocked out of the way, then to wait and overeat by 500 calories later. 200 calories is easier to work off over the week then 500 or more.

A final point: If you have a bad day, just chalk it up to a lesson learned and get back on your plan the next day. One bad day (or weekend) will not ruin your progress, so long as you continue to move forward each time. May it slow you down a bit? Probably. But it's wont all be for naught.

If this is a regarding thing, you need a new weekend habit. Do you get lots of exercise with friends and family on the weekends? If not, start organizing it, or go out on your own if you need the me time. Plan delicious meals that fit your goals, maybe even use your time to prepare more interesting meals to use during the week, so that weekends aren't a time to make up for boring.
