Food textures

What is this? I am overweight and have been for years, constantly yo yo from high to low and back again. I actually on the whole eat really well and try to stick to 1300 per day as I am only 5.3.
All day I am fine then I come home from work and can't stop snacking. I have noticed though that I don't crave sugar but textures. Cold melty ice cream, melted smarties, crème caramel that I hold in my mouth. It's so weird. Crisps and creamy dip ( but not crisps in their own). It feels almost like childish foods. Trifle but not the components on their own. I feel if I could understand the reasoning behind this I could actually get on the road to recovery - because it does feel like some kind of eating disorder. I start and can't stop until it's all gone. In a shop I go into a trance almost just throwing things in my basket (knowing somewhere in my brain that if I don't have them I can't eat them ) but doing it anyway.

Well sugar alone isn't that appealing because if it was there would be people sat with a bag of sugar and a spoon. The combination of fat and sugar is what does it. like ice cream for example! It's a mouth feel thing I believe.
