Hi Belae,
I too have an addictive relationship to food. Some things that help me are to identify and eliminate triggering foods. I'm not likely to overeat whole foods that require a little preparation. But anything that is grab and go will be grabbed and gone pretty quickly--that's me. You might find that eliminating, say, sweets, or pasta, or soft drinks, etc. might help. Processed foods are designed to make you want more more more. I try to avoid anything processed, though I have a couple of exceptions. I also read labels--things that make me want to eat more more more invariably contain sugar, salt, fat, or any combo. This is a longwinded way of saying it helps to get to know yourself.
It's trickier to manage when there are other people in the house. That said, maybe you would be doing your daughter a favor by keeping healthy treats around, the ones that aren't so tempting. If you are worried that she would feel deprived, maybe you could limit the tempting ones to when you are both out of the house, like buying an ice cream cone, etc.
I found these books helpful:
Addiction & Grace by Gerald May;
The End of Overeating by David Kessler; If you are having issues with bingeing,
Brain Over Binge by ?Hansen?
Best wishes to you--you're in good company, and I hope you'll share any ideas you have or discover along the way!
