Tell me It's ok to keep it simple

Keep it simple girl! If it's not sustainable, it doesn't matter. While calories in, calories out is important, the quality of calories is too. I follow the 80/20 rule. 80% of my diet is real, whole foods. 20% is reserved for whatever. This helps me not binge. By telling myself that I can, pretty much eat whatever I want in moderation, helps me from craving. It makes it easier, for me anyhow. It's like you always want what you can't have, so taking away the can't, takes away the want....most of the time. ;-) So I track my calories, and if there's room and I want a treat, I do. I don't eat past 6p, so that also helps. Calories left or not, 6p is the cut-off. This is what has been working for me, maybe it will for you too. Best wishes!
