Struggling with overeating sweets

I don't know if I am considered a Binge eater or not.

I often cope with eating larg amount of sweets from cookies to little Debbie snacks. I feel compelled to do it especially when under a lot of stress.

My life is not where I want it to be right now so the stress is constantly there. My question is has anyone gotten control of binge eating while stuck in a less than ideal situation? Again my issue is mainly sugar. I have a hard time stopping. It's almost like I can't stop. But I know I should.
