The inside of a properly used toaster should not require cleaning beyond frequent emptying of the crumb tray. However if the toaster was not used properly, which is to say something was inserted beyond dry bread based products and the inside is fouled then it's time to research replacement options. I had a friend that decided to reheat his leftover pizza with extra cheese in his toaster. The resulting acrid smell from the smoke took days to clear the apartment. Remember, it is a toaster, not a toaster oven.

You're question and concern is a valid one and one many today seem to feel they are struggling with.
The best Que is to go within yourself; pay attention to your own behavior and emotions.
For example, what is your first response when you are stressed or anxious? Do you reach for a specific food for comfort or relaxation?
When you are experiencing strong emotions, regardless if they are positive; excitement, joy or negative; depression, anger - do you eat specific foods, usually foods that later you will "beat yourself up for" (especially if it is during a time you are attempting to lose weight) and then even justify eating again to "stuff down" that guilt as well?
The first step is becoming aware of your body, mind connection. In doing so, then you can do something more proactive and make positive changes.
Until then, you will continue to assume yourself helpless & hopeless and continue to "act" according to that belief.
