Do you know what's going on that's triggering this? From your post, I'm guessing you've had this trouble before? Are you in treatment for it, or at least in therapy with someone who knows your history?
This is only a guess, but it's based on my own experience, so if I'm totally off base, I'm sorry. It sounds as though you're experiencing anxiety that you're focussing on the weight/body issues? Do you know what the anxiety is actually about? Resolving the source of the anxiety would probably do a lot to resolve the body image issues.
There's a book out there, too, "The Body Image Workbook" by T. Cash, that might help. I had trouble with the mirror exercises, and have only done them once with my therapist, but they were very helpful for me. That might be a good place to start.
I hope that helps.
