What things helped you deal with weight gain in recovery?

Recovery Related

So I’m trying to recover, have been for a while now (unsuccessfully). I just keep randomly giving in and weighing myself then panicking over how much weight I’ve gained then spiraling back into restricting and exercising. Is there anything that helps with coming to terms with the weight gain or making it less terrifying? Or like, ways to deal with the urge to weigh yourself without doing it? I feel like the most obvious thing is to throw the scale away but I just bought it because I couldn’t deal with not knowing 😭 (I’m also in therapy I just don’t know how to bring this up with my therapist lol)
