Go two weeks without weighing yourself AT ALL. Let yourself freak out. You'll get over it. Just don't let yourself get on the scale. I used to be the same way when I was still struggling with my eating disorder. As I ate less and threw up more, I weighed myself more often. Probably over a dozen times a day when it got bad. Don't let yourself get out of hand. Take control of the situation now. Just don't weigh yourself. After the two weeks, weigh yourself once a week, tops. It would probably be best not to weigh yourself at all, but just measure yourself. Obsessing over your weight could be a start to an eating disorder. Don't let it go there.
