You're most welcome, Elaine, and I appreciate all you said:

Yet it seems that, the more you focus on it, the more your diet can go so out of control, you don't even know that you're doing yourself harm.

Yeah, it's almost like a trance I get into sometimes, and then wake up from.
Especially with the juice fasting thing--it's like these fantasies of what it's going to do for me take over, but I always, always come crashing down, like Icarus flying too close to the sun with his waxen wings.
To put it another way, it's kind of like stretching a rubber band real far and having it snap back with a vengeance. Ouch!
No amount of "perfect" food is going to solve the things I'm supposedly going to solve with all that perfect food and abstention from "bad" food--all those "situations I place myself in" that you speak of.
I think the book,
Intuitive Eating has a pretty sensible take on things.
