I know youāre not expecting an answer but if I may share what it was like for me.
Sugar is hard. I didnāt know for a long time what to do w it. Itās in a lot of things, added. Itās in fruit etc naturally. Will sweeteners make me want to have sugar? Or can they help? (I use them.) Will a ban on sugar extend to carbs? Some kinda of carbs? (For me, no. My activity level alone dictates my carb intake.)
These affiliated questions made it very hard for me for a long time to come to a practicable way of handling it for me. Was a lot of āempty thinkingā and then also a lot of trial and error.
If I have sweets in the house, I will eat them all in a very short time, to this day. So I never have them around anymore. This year I even managed to put the Easter sweets away after a few days of overeating on them, before they were alle eaten.
Yesterday my mother wanted to give me my fav chocolate (kinder and yoghurette!) and for the second time only I declined and left it with them. It was easy cos I could point to the fact that I had just eaten 4 small bars in two min cos I was stressed out packing up my things to leave (and from being w the fam, even tho I love them a lot) and just said I canāt have them in my house, I have no control over them. They understood. But also not really. For them, overeating massively on sugar is sadly completely normal. My dad at one point had a piece of cake on his plate that must have weighed over 400g. And it was only one of three he ate. 
makes me very sad for them.
I did have a little cake cos I wanted the taste and I did have my couple small choco bars, but I didnāt bring any back home and I think thatās the game changer for me. I am not tempted to buy it cos it makes me miserable. (Thinking of it, I do have very rare phases where I buy it nonetheless, so I do sometimes rely on it to cope.) Iām really very happy w this development. In the past I would literally continue to eat cake by myself, w a fork from the big cake in the pantry room. Cake is nice yāallā¦ Compulsive eating is not.
These days I even consume pure sugar as fuel for training. Itās dextrose tho and Iām not tempted to have it outside of training.
I think you need to find your equilibrium, what you need to do minimally to make the sugar thing stick. Could be a hard and fast rule: only this kind of sweets, only one/two/X a day, only outside the home, ā¦ But a rule you can accept and stick to. Main thing as always is to cover your macro needs. If youāre hungry and deprived, you will want the sugar not just addictively, but also legitimately and itāll be even harder to battle the cravings. 
To finish my tale, yesterday I also got back to to eating normally back home after all the festivity food w my family, and did not emotionally eat myself into a coma from the stress and negative emotions of being at my family home. Which in the past was the usual thing that would happen.
I stuck to my plan of having a training sesh once home, let that also structure my time/dictate leaving time cos I can only do that so late in the day, and ate normally after (still a good portion obvs lol). Big success for me, Iām very proud of that. Usually/in the past my eating was a train wreck around visits. Took a lot of therapy to get here. The feelings are still there, mostly guilt and feeling responsible for other ppl and their happiness and sadnesses, but less, and I donāt need to eat on them anymore (it does happen, but a lot less). But I also donāt think for a second I could have gotten this far without years and years of therapy, I know how hard it is.
Sending love to all youse out there.
and 1 week no dairy
