Bless you xx hope you are OK, don't give up, just try again each day. Look after yourself  

My sister is losing her battle with leukaemia shes only 33 she started end of life care on Tuesday we are all gutted. After only 18 month from diagnosis. I managed to lose a lb in weight this week but docs worried I'm getting alot of migraines and they think it's my blood pressure time for me to slow down and rest  

Sorry to hear such sad news. Try to take things one day at a time and look after yourself.  

When I read about your sister I really felt for you and your family. It's so sad and I totally understand why you are looking for comfort anywhere you can find it, ex food. I comfort eat too and am diagnosed with eating disorder so I know how hard it is to be eating healthy when struggling mentally. I don't really have any miraculous advice for you how to fix it because I am trying to find it myself but I just wanted to say that I am very sorry about what you and your family are going through. I hope that somehow you will manage to stay mostly on track with food and won't get discouraged by small set backs. Sending hugs xxx 

Omg I am so sorry x take care of yourself and yours, don't put expectations on yourself xx just take each moment as it comes xx 

They will let her home this week and we start funeral arrangements so going to be spending more time with her and try best to stick to home cooked not take away. Food especially chocolate is comfort with the migraines I hope can maintain or small losses for the time being xx 

I know you're probably fed up of hearing the word sorry , but I truly am . thinking of you at this time . think only of the good times you shared , all the mischief you both got up to together and all the laughs you had . I wouldn't worry too much about what your eating as you will get back there again. 

There's only 18 months between us but she always been like me mum and the one I go to for everything. Watching her lose her battle is heart breaking. I'm hoping we can make some more memories before she goes. Thank you all. Cancer is so evil and scary  

If you need to snack then snack. Now is not the time you need to stress yourself about your eating. Just do your best and let the rest go. Take good care of yourself. Sending you positive thoughts at this incredibly difficult time! I'm so sorry! 

heart goes out to you. don't worry about your diet for now just get through this anyway you can 💔 

Now is not the time to stress yourself dieting, put all your energy in making your sisters last days happy one's. I lost my best friend last July and we laughed together until the end 

I am so sorry for what you are going through! How I finally overcome comfort binging, after years of yoyo weight: read What Are You Hungry For by Deepak Chopra. Life changing in terms of relationship with food.  

Love to you! Definitely not the right time to put yourself under pressure. Stay strong 😘
