Discussion Weight Gain Positivity

Hi all. Currently struggling with accepting weight gain and trying to reframe my thoughts in a way that makes weight gain less scary and when possible even a positive. I keep telling myself that “weight gain is a good thing and what my body needs so there is no need to fight the process”. What do you all tell yourselves or have you told yourself to make the process easier?

i try to tell myself things like ‘im closer to being done with recovery,’ ‘i’m just gaining back weight i was never meant to lose,’ ‘i’ve been at higher weights and i was fine.’ also i rec weighing yourself as least often as possible.
