    Yeah, that’s really what she’s after. She wants a reset on her emotional state which is leading to bad eating habits. She has had a lot of stress and grief, so it’s understandable.

    It helps for a time, but she obviously gradually picks up her bad habits again. Personally, I wish she would choose something more affordable / sustainable like hobbies she can escape into frequently. I’ve tried helping her find something, with or without me, but nothing has stuck, and this is how she wants to “solve” her problem again.

      A social hobby that gets her out of the house might be the ticket here. Maybe look into your local community centers and whatnot to see if there’s something like a couples dance class that you could do together or yoga classes. Having ways to socialize that are not food-centric goes a long ways towards building better habits.
