I had a binge eating disorder and I found that it correlated to me allowing myself to self isolate. So I ended up starting a full time job and actively making friends with my coworkers so now I work about 60 hours a week and on days I dont work I make plans with them, run errands, or hike. I basically had to forcibly take my mind and body away from food and slowly get my dopamine from other sources. Its brutal but honestly with my therapist and primary care doctor it has gotten much better

mostly my new friends (hanging out, going out together, calling, etc) as well as hiking, especially when i push myself hard (ex i usually try to do smaller summits in the mountain range i live in and log times and try to beat myself each time i go and eat lunch at the top and no matter if i beat previous times or not i reward myself with icecream from a regular spot i go to bc i showed up for myself.
