Your brain is not only wired to protect you, it is also wired to protect you from feeling bad. In other words, it is always trying to make you feel good. So,when you are feeling depressed you are more susceptible to eat things that make you feel good because your brain unconsciously wants to make you feel good. That is how people get addicted to substances, eating, etc. This info is found in the book "The Willpower Instinct, Why It Matters, What Can You Do To Get More OF It" By Kelly McGonigal.
