I dump and I don't think I am all that happy that I do. We were out for dinner with friends and the desert was this frozen fruit / yogurt / cheesecake thing and all I wanted was a couple of bites. I had 2 bites. After the second bite I was satisfied. About 2 minutes later I was so sick I had to go lay in the car while our friends and my husband finished their coffee and paid the bill.
Dumping is not the reason we shouldn't eat shit food. Getting back to how we used to be is the reason. Even though I know I dump, that isn't why I watch what I eat. The reason is simple, I NEVER want to be 274lbs again in my life. Even if I didn't dump, I would still watch what goes in my mouth.
Even in saying that, there's really no harm in having a treat now and then. It's what keeps us sane and for me it helps keep the cravings and the old binging behaviors away. I will now eat 5 or 6 m and m's instead of a large bag to satisfy my chocolate craving. I think it's fine as long as I have a limit and stick to it.
