How to stop "reward eating"?

I have recently developed a bad habit where I eat as a reward for achieving things in my daily life that I struggle to do.

I feel fine about it when it is something large that deserves a big reward (such as finishing my last assessment for a topic at university), but it's getting to be the case where I have started rewarding myself with food for basically anything, for example buying myself a snack for just getting through my stressful work day, breaking my fast to have breakfast if I feel tired going to the gym, having a dessert if I choose to stay home instead of going out, and other things such as that. As a rule, I'm probably "treating" myself every second or third day.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks for overcoming this? Does anyone implement other rewards that aren't food but are a similarly good dopamine hit?
