Do we have a 'comfortable weight' to which we get back to eventually?

I've recently been struggling not to overeat after upping the amount of sport I do each day (which means I can't stick to my 1200 calories any more but have to up it a bit - I just don't know to what number yet). To solve the issue I read Binge over Brain by Kathryn Hansen. This was useful in some ways but unhelpful in others.

Kathryn makes the simple argument that everyone has control over what they eat at all times. They don't have to be lead by the lizard brain that literally always wants to eat. That's fine. However Kathryn also states in the book that all weight loss/purging after a binge is useless as the body will 'recover' in its own way and return to a comfortable base weight no matter how much you struggle.

This has me a bit discouraged. I find it difficult to motivate myself to keep losing weight and I've gained a few kgs since my last weight loss spurt as well. I am wondering if you guys have some experience or opinions on this. Please discuss!
