If none of the above suggestions help, I would encourage you to consider how soothing and nurturing eating can be.
It may be that you have developed a self-soothing mechanism through eating.
You are angry or upset, eat, soothe yourself and feel better - or at least the original upset has past.
I think the next time you get "ragey" (and really, don't we ALL) try another soothing mechanism like deep breathing (it does work), visualization, music or talking to a friend.
I only comment on this because I am a very emotional eater, but it can be overcome, you just have to find something to replace the eating.
