Compulsive eating due to stress

Hi my wife has started compulsive eating due to stress. She keeps eating even when she is full and even vomits sometimes due to overeating. She has been stressed lately due to some professional and personal issues ans has gained around 5-7 kg in the last 2-3 months. The more she thinks about not eating or keeping her diet in control the more she eats. She is not able to exercise or read or follow her hobbies as we have 2 year old twins at home who are totally dependent on her and she has been on leave for very long now as there is no one to take care of the babies. What should we do.
