There's also a sort of akrasia which is physically based-- if I eat too much refined carbs, I can get a day or two of doing very little while thinking "I don't care, I don't care". It looks like a psychological problem, but is really well corelated with the carbs.
Be careful about your temporal order here: it's possible that when you feel a bad mood coming on, you respond by then eating more sugary food in order to try and fight the unhappiness off.
Messing up the order of this particular problem is a mistake I've made myself.
