After dinner breakdown. Had family mini crisis, got very upset, lots of
yelling, sore throat, exausted didn't think. Felt awful afterwards. I'm
cured for awhile. It was still much less than I would have normally eaten.
I was looking for something to make me feel better (happier) but it really
was a bad thing. I'm not sure how I'd tackle that again. I do know it
wouldn't be with food.

1 tbsp neopolitan crap ice cream
2 crap swiss rolls
2 little debbies crap cakes
2 strawberry crap cookies

Miserable for you, but they do say that carbohydrates produce serotonin
in the brain and make a good emergency tranquilliser for that reason.
But you do seem to have kept things in control, and I'm impressed!
Maybe you could keep an emergency stash of non-crap sweet foods - a
fruit cake, or good-quality ice-cream (perhaps home-made) - in the deep
freeze, so that when things go pear-shaped, you have something you can
eat that will help without feeling too awful about it afterwards? And
do you need to keep the biscuits and cakes in the house? If your family
want them, could another family member be charged with keeping them out
of your line of sight? Or, better still, could they be banned as "crap
food" that you don't want your family eating?
