Frankly, I think your cheat day is playing with fire. Especially when you said that it lasted more than one day - that would really scare me if I had worked as hard as you did to lose the weight.
I would get with a nutritionist immediately and have him/her map out a diet plan so that you are getting your correct number of calories each day.

In the years when I was a pretty serious (non-pro) ballet dancer, I managed to stay on a very low calorie diet for months on end by always allowing a single Hershey bar at the end of every day. If I DIDN'T do that, I learned early on, it was like holding my breath---I would diet for, say, two weeks, and then have a MAJOR binge day. It was much more manageable to diet for a long time once I'd learned to build in a treat every day.

Maybe it would help to go to Weight Watchers, you'll learn to eat enough during the week and not over indulge that one day. They can also help you with the maintenance, so you keep the weight you've lost off.
