If you're hungry, try eating foods which are filling, so you'll be less likely to overeat. Foods which are high in fiber or protein tend to be filling, for example vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, fish, and quinoa.
Sugar is one of the least filling foods, so it'll make you more likely to overeat. It sounds like you're addicted to sugar, but the good news is that it's not permanent. If you force yourself to give up sugar, the cravings will lessen within 2 weeks. If you find it too difficult to give up sugar, try decreasing it gradually. Eating more than 25g added sugar per day is a significant health risk, and the less added sugar you eat the better. If you want to eat something sweet, maybe you can replace the sweets with fresh fruit.
