Honestly, I'm not saying do this because replacing functions with vices is very not good and I am fully aware of it. That being said what worked for me is marijuana, it helps me to feel like I WANT to eat at the very least, even if I don't feel hungry. When I'm high it makes food more appealing to me as well, so it helps to supress my extremely picky eating habits. Of course, this is making a habit in and of itself which is why i don't necessarily recommend it, but I'll wean myself off of it.
I am neutral on marijuana as I know people who use it to their own detriment as well as people who get true benefit from it. It's not good for me as it makes me anxious with no positive benefit but I'm glad you found something that helps
