Sugar addiction

Does any of you ever feel like they cannot have sweets around them without eating it all? I can rarely control myself and most often I eat until I get sick and still can't stop.
I'm not overweight (just maybe a few pounds on and off), but I feel extremely bad knowing I can't control myself. It's not even a craving (although sugar cravings are another story), I just feel like I need to eat everything.
It doesn't only apply to sugary things, but mostly, yeah...
That apart, I have a healthy diet, never miss breakfast, eat 2-3 snacks along the day and eat a lot of fruit.
Some days I can control myself but some days I simply can't. It feels like it's not within my power:)) (funny but I'm not kidding).

Anybody elese here with this problem? (I know it's probably an eating disorder, but I don't know where to start looking and it would make me feel a lot better to hear from other people that experience the same thing).

    People over use the words 'Addiction' and 'eating disorder'. It sounds like you have a problem with impulse control. If you are are really worried about this issue maybe seek some professional help or counseling. Good luck
