Hello, I am really struggling. I have been feeling really depressed since my sister left who I love so dearly. I have been overeating a great deal and am fearful that I am sinking into something bad. What do you guys do when bad things happen that may trigger you to go back to old ways.

Well I have no old ways since I am still doing the same bad habits,
however my advice to you would be to keep busy, and not let yourself have time to overeat - but just have the right amount of time to eat a healthy meal.
Keep your mind busy as well. I find that the less i sit around alone in my room - the less i think about my eating issues, and the less i eat as well. Even though you might feel like theres an empty hole inside of you in which your sisters presents can only fill, you have to remember that food is not what can fill that space.
Be strong and don't fall into the same traps as I have. Eating too much food or not enough food won't make other problems go away.

wish i could help, but i really havent broken out of my habits either.
try to remind yourself why you stopped and how it made you feel.. thats what i try to do but i have no self control so it usually doesnt work
