To record, or not to record weight gain?

For starter I can't relate to your disorder because I never had anything similar to it. So the following is just my opinion on recording a weight gain or not. If this would impact your recovery from the disorder, please disregard it.
I would/do record weight gain. It helps me stay on track even though it would make me feel frustrated and disappointed of myself. The spike will always be there because you have already seen it. You will continue to see it every time that you went on a scale. Even when later you have drop back to your previous weight, there will still be a hidden spike on that flat line. So what does it really matter aside from a slap on dignity.
I think data is important so I weight myself everyday. It helped me understand what worked and what didn't work. Going prolong period of time without weighing would feel like walking blind for me.

Your disclaimer at the beginning of your post is completely respectful and so supportive. I'm sure that's great for the OP and anyone else reading who may be in a similar situation. Thanks!
