Dealing with Abilify's impulsive behavior side effect

I know Abilify can cause impulsive behavior as a side effect, including compulsive eating, which I am experiencing. What advice does anyone have to help curb that side effect and develop healthy habits?

pretty much all atypical antipsychotics will make you eat a ton, unfortunately, but it was MUCH worse for me on Zyprexa than Abilify. but im still gaining weight on it, and my only "workaround" is staying occupied with work/hobbies so im too focused to get hungry :(
