Hi
Negative feelings like depression, stress and anxiety can lead us to eat more and this will lead to obesity. This type of emotional eating may give some comfort and make one relieved from such emotions for a while. Eating will redirect the focus from the reasons of stress. Most of the time the food one select for emotional eating will contain high fat and sugar. This will make the problem worse.

I get like this sometimes. I think food is one of many ways that people find comfort in at a time of stress. It just means that she is going through something and she's trying to find an outlet. You should try asking her about what's going on in her head. I'm sure that she will open up to you if you give her some time.
