Exercising. I'd exercise to an unhealthy degree, eat an unholy amount of food each day (to "get my calories in"), and constantly take my measurements. The problem was that my mind didn't recognize any of the positive results I was killing myself for; the more I worked out, the fewer results my mental filter let me see. It got to the point that I would actively avoid looking at reflective surfaces as much as possible because of the knowledge that I'd look even worse in my mind's eye the next time I saw myself. It was not a good rabbit hole to get stuck in. I eventually sought help and with therapy and a support system, I was able to let go of most of the compulsion. Now when I exercise, it's to be healthy, not to chase some dream of "perfection" that my mind wouldn't be able to recognize even if I managed to reach it. Now when I eat, it's because I enjoy the experience, not because I'm trying to cram 5,000 calories down my throat in a day. Now when I look in the mirror, it's to make sure my clothes match, not because I'm focusing on all the "progress" I haven't made. Might not sound like a big deal, and to most people it probably isn't, but it changed my life completely.
