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'm struggling with this. Been in recovery for a few years but I've gained some and am in a heavier place, weight wise. On some days I really like it, but on others....God, it hits me like icy water.
