I could be wrong here but it sounds like no matter what you do, you feel you need to feel guilty or beat yourself up about something.

It sounds like you are deflecting the guilt you feel about alcohol to junk food instead of facing the first issue.

Transference: the redirection of attitudes and emotions towards a substitute

I am not saying you are doing that, as eating healthy is good and only you can decide if you are transferring one to the other, but maybe something to think about.
